In Live8 shift+arrow up/down doesn't only transpose notes an octave up/down in clip view, it also works in the pitch plugin!

like it!!

so often it's the little details in Live that I love

cut time - ctrl(cmd), shft x
duplicate time - ctrl(cmd), shft d
paste time - ctrl(cmd), shft v
delete time - ctrl(cmd), shft x delete
insert silence - Ctrl(cmd), I

omg love it!! has this been here the whole time or is it just in live 8.. i have no idea but i just discovered it

i discovered insert silence then deduced that the others must exist and they do..i bet i gain a couple of weeks of free time over my life span by using these functions

-edited errors

Yep, been there for a long time, at least since 5 i think.

discovered this a few weeks ago, but it's been giving me smiles throughout this all-day/all-night session today:

select time anywhere (arrangement time, or in a midi clip, or in audio when warping), then double-click the zoom area... zooms to fit selection

Only in Live 8.
Still pretty handy

1. take the whole vocal take, and load it into sampler. set a ton of different zones with different cue points. try to be as random as possible, like halfway through a word or whatever. keep little clusters where the cue points are close (like different words in a line). you will need about 20-30 of these zones.

I think he means the start arrow when looking at the sample within sampler.

adding this here so I don't forget.

old news to some of you but I just worked this out today
glitchy basslines using launch mode and legato and short duration

WOW! Thanks a lot for this "small" list of tips!!!!!! You've done a great job! I think most will agree you deserve to have a monument of yourself full size!

Most of you probably know this one, but I only discovered it recently and it was a major PALM>FOREHEAD moment...

Double click on your browser sections to reset them to "all folders closed."

oh yeah and also:

TIP:
To add an effect to an individual cell/chain on a drum rack, you can simply drop the effect from the browser onto the cell itself, rather than at the fiddley end of its device chain.
