needing help with Sample editor

Post by bilberry79 » Mon Jun 15, 2009 8:07 am

i'm looking for an easy way to move the loop-markers simultaneously with the start/end markers in the sample editor. i know the keyboard shortcuts for moving the loopmarkers (up/down arrow for the whole loop; left/right arrow for single steps) but with these shortcuts the the start/end markers will stay in there position.

why i need this: i have an playback track in the background and i want to record the lead voice over it. so i loop a 4 or 8 bars part for the singer and record it. so he sings the verse maybe 3 or 4 times and i've got one audio track with these 3 or 4 takes. now i want an easy and quick workaround for skiping between these 3 or 4 takes in my arrangement.

i hope you guys understand my problem, my english is really bad, sorry.

Create 3-4 new tracks. Drag each vocal take on to it's on track. Mute all of them except the one you want to listen to. Google vocal "comping" for more info. Hope that helps.

yes. thanks. it helps. but the most easiest way is to hit the loop button on the audio clip and move the loopbrackets.
i missed just something quite obvious in ableton. sorry guys ;)
