Playing multiple songs with loops

Post by bassemnab » Thu Nov 10, 2016 2:57 pm

I play live in a band, I have multiple songs each one has a loop in it. I need to play them back to back without stopping and keep the loop in each song. Anybody has an idea how and if this can be done in Ableton? I really appreciate any help from you. If it can not be done in Aboeton, can I use another software.
I tried to mix all the songs in 1 track in arrangement view on Ableton, I was not able to keep the loops in each song. Please help me if you know a way this can be done

If I understand what you're trying to do, you need to do this in Session view. It's not going to work in Arrangement view. Using the "Follow Actions" feature will probably help you achieve what you're trying to do. See page 186 of the Live manual for more information.

Thank you Richie for the helpful hint, I am going to try to read that section in Manuel and work in session view. I will keep you posted, hopefully it will work
