Automatic Clip Color Bug

nebulae · Post by **nebulae** » Sat Oct 07, 2006 12:34 am

Am I the only person that has all new clips assigned the hideous dark brown color in the Live 6 default skin? The auto-assign new color function is not working for me. Anyone else?

Hmm, yet again, I'm the only one who has this bug. Perhaps Live 6 has decided to get racist on me and only use clips that are the color of my skin?

I don't know if I am seeing the same issue as you or not, but Live 6 seems to have a "preference" for its random color assignment. Most of my clips are the same color, and therefore not very random at all. Odd...

I reported this a handful of betas ago but it never got fixed in my experience.

Ok cool, glad this issue is getting some tracktion. Abes, are you listening, or do we need to send a support email?

hmm, odd.

It's fine here. Or at least I get different colours.

IfI double click down a column of a midi track I get random colours

If I record a succession of clips in an audio track I get the colours automatically assigned like this:

brown (colour 12 in the pallete)
orangey brown (colour 1)
muddy orange (colour 2)
swamp green (colour 3)
etc, etc (4,5,6,7)

is that different from what you get?

I am on a PC

I'm on a PC, and if I add track after track and record clips into them, be it midi or audio, it's almost always dark or muddy brown.

that's something i've noticed. if you have more than one clip in a track, the colours vary. if you are working horizontally, they turn up all one colour. this happens if you record midi, but not if you create the clip by clicking.

I've also noticed that even if I turn the preferences so that the colors are not auto-assigned, and I select say yellow as my default color, Live does not assing the yellow color to new clips. Bizarre.

Having the same problem here...My def is red, never works, always comes
out dark brown.

I have had the same problem. Regardless of preference settings: Clips recorded into Scene 1 are always reddish-brown, Scene 2 reddish-brown, scene 3 yellowish-brown.

Odd thing is that clips dragged from the browser do respond to preferences, but not newly recorded clips.

What gives?
