Export Tempo Automation

Post by kazaamBLAM » Fri Aug 03, 2007 2:51 am

I have tried to figure out a way to do this, but I can't figure it out. One of the great developments in v.6 is the ability to copy/cut song data (wavs/midi etc) from one project, close it, open a new track and paste in the data. Previous versions didn't seem to do this and I found it a real pain. The new version doing it is a FANTASTIC development. BUT all I need now is a way of exporting tempo automation from one project to another. Currently I have to rebuild all the automation and (I have a lot of automation data) it takes a long long time. I wish, great Ableton gods above, that you could tell me a way, or develop it within the program, to export my automation data. Amen.

Faster workaround:

-- Copy the tempo automation to the volume automation of a track (make sure to use the "copy envelope" command, not just the "copy" command).
-- Drag that track to the browser.
-- Open new project.
-- Drag the track from the browser to the new project.
-- Make sure the tempo range min/max values are the same as in the source project.
-- Copy the volume automation from the track to the tempo automation.

Wicked... thank you very much... I'll be doing that in about twenty minutes after another coffee. I'll be uploading a version of the live set once it's been performed. Wow, Ableton really is amazing. If you, perchance, want to hear what I did with it last time, feel free to check out my myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/kazaamblammos), the four tracks there are all downloadable and link together to make a 26 minute live mix. Thanks again!
