on that note: assigning a key range to a clip in session view, for an even simpler simpler.

for real though, assigning one knob/fader to control sample start and loop position at the same time. lots of fun, and the midi control is assigned to whichever clip is in focus. but for some reason its tied to the global quantize instead of clip quantize settings.
Woah that sounds dope! I'm gonna figure that one out 2nite. For me it was assigning F11 for full-screen to a a little switch on the front of my tablet PC. So I can push this little rocker switch on the front of the tablet and boom, my PC is now just a glorified Live host, with no distractions.

wrd. its similar to the simpler start point trick, but with some advantages: syncs to tempo at whatever grid you set, and the loop length can be adjusted too. so you can use it to jump around bar by bar, or down to little stuttery 1/16th loops...all on beat. a few more midi assignments...e.g. for pitch, and the clip view can become its own instrument.

Do not ever use multiple instances of BBE Sonic Maximizer VST with Live
It will hose your sets, they will take 5 minutes to try loading --- then crash
and you will not be able to figure out what is fucking it all up
Until you delete the BBE.
Wish I had found that out 2 years ago

The massive number of effects in the Audio Effects Rack folder. I never noticed them until one day I accidentally clicked on the folder and there were 8 bazillion cool new toys to play with.
And on a somewhat related note, figuring out that the Apple DLSMusicDevice can play soundfont files with less CPU load than Sampler.

You need Live 6 for that, right?

In session view you can do the same with right-click (or ctrl-click).

Yes, this is great for quickly flicking to free-form editing. I discovered this a few months ago, but still gotta get it into my regular memory/habit.

Yeah 'tis - in Live 6 they keep the background as the grid so you can see where you are - in Live5 and prev. it just disappeared!
I know I get mentioning it on 'ere, but if you have a MIDI controller you can set it up to provide hands-free control - just search for MackieControl emulation.

I'm glad i figured custom key combo's.
At least I don't need the menu when in full screen mode...
