disable your damn spacebar

Why didn't you just wait 4 beats and hit space again dramatically?

Gotta improvise, man

LOL

another one that scares me is the F10 ("back to arrangement") button. if you press it while you're playing clips in session view and your arrangement is empty, you'll get... silence, and, even worse, all your clips will stop, so it will be difficult to build up something again.

so i'm thinking of filling the arrangement view with a couple of clips (have to be the length of a gig though).

ctrl-shift-i is a good habit to get into for that - takes snapshots of all the clips you have playing and puts them in a new scene...

yeah, i know, but my live session window is already such a mess, don't want to add more lines to it...

I actually really want some kind of major change to the automation setup, maybe automation tracks you can route to other ones and control them with clips, but I would really like to be able to record a clip sequence into the arrange rather than having them copied in (which means when you change something the original clip in session doesnt change which can be annoying,) but also if like you say you start wandering off into a tangent and then hit f10 you lose your place you often havent a clue where you were

so maybe a kind of pattern sequencer that plays a sequence of clips rather than recording them into the arrange would solve alot of problems - also rather than one f10 button, maybe a automation record enable/revert button for every track - but then maybe we're just getting into old fashioned touch/read/write territory here....
Every time I use live I find I wish there was a way of bypassing record automation for different things individually because if you are recording a session but dont want some changes automated you cant bypass it while still recording the things you do want.

Maybe it was F10 i pressed - i always find myself hitting ctrl-F12 to expand the clip view again from viewing waveforms
cos when the 'incident' happened. i coulda sworn i hit shift-space bar but nothing happened and i was in the middle of scrolling around my set picking a new track when it happened so basically i was in no mans land wondering why the sound had stopped, even shift-spacebar wasn't doing it.

wow. i didn't know f10 was 'back to arrangement' and would stop all clips if you had nothing in arrangement window.

better get out that bit of rizla packet and stuff in under f10....

Wy don't you just take the spacebar button out? Just wedge a paperclip under it and lever it out. Works on most keyboards! Same for F10.

Another reason to do everything from your MIDI controller and leave the keyboard to the secretaries...

Do it once, it's a mistake. Do it again, it's inspired creativity!
