i cant seem to find anything on this, i want to batch import 30 tracks into live, is there no way to do it, when i try to drag and drop multi files it will only let me import 1 file, then it crashes.

any have the same problem???

the only way i can figure to do it is to drop them 1 by 1 in.
this is also in the arangment side of things

live 7.01

Hi,

Are you talking samples/loops or entire tracks of length from like arrangement view? I don't quite follow you yet.

well i was importing entire tracks, however i would believe it would be the same. no?

basically i wanted to take an entire song that is "tracked" and put it in to live.
if you use protools, it would be the import feature. you can select as many tracks as you want.

Hmm, I can't comment then as I haven't had the need to do that. Perhaps others will respond with some ideas. Most folks are using mp3's in their tracks in session view to loop/sample from as far as I can tell. I haven't had the need for that personally since I don' DJ. And for Dark Ambient/Martial I don't see a need for it from my perspective from what I have to work with locally.

try selecting all and holding command or control (mac or pc respectively)... should drop each track into separate tracks
