Poll: Bring back Auto-Assign Colors to pre-9.5 functionality

Discuss music production with Ableton Live.

Bring Back Auto-Assign Colors to pre-9.5 functionality please!

YES: Having every clip the exact same color in a track makes it very difficult to tell different musical ideas apart, especially on-stage. Give users the OPTION of turning this on or off please.

Please keep the possibility to have all new clips recorded the same color.
I use it on stage to make the difference between clips that are part of the set and clips i just recorded..
Now it's too confusing to use it in a live situation.
What i don't understand is when you turn off auto-colouring and set a default color it only works for tracks but not for clips.

We need to have both:
1. set a default color for clips.
2. set a default color for tracks.

I will post this as a suggestion on the Live beta/Centercode site.

I wonder how it looks under the hood. I mean I wonder how the code is structured in Live. Maybe its more complicated providing an option then it looks, otherwise it seems rather odd that a developer would leave out an option. I would think that the way to resolve this is just include a "random" option in the color picker we see in the new version. That way the new functionality would be an "opt in" choice.

Also, I miss the "no color" option. It was very good for tracks I wasn't completely sure about yet.
I'm the same 100%... staying with an older version of live 9..

no colour until I'm happy with the idea. then colour it.

The bigger the project the more out of time it will be.
