is it really so bad to know how long something's been playing for??

the metronome in your head isn't keeping track for you?

pt = (ntl+slppslpg)*cl

where,

pt = playing time
ntl = number of times looped
clpppg = current loop progress percentage of stupid little pie graph
cl= clip length

do the math, son

damn, need to brush up on my maths

of course! that would be way easier than LOOKING AT A FUCKING CLOCK!!

Seriously though, there was another thread recently about them taking it away in clip view, and it bugs me every day, especially when doing DJ mixes

I really don't understand why we don't have one

curses, you have quoted my faulty math before my edit was complete

pt = cpopciav - twcwsariav

where:

pt = playing time
cpopciav = current position of play cursor in arrangement view
twcwsariav = time when clip was started as represented in arrangment view

never mind, I looked at it and felt nothing but the need to again shout "where's the fucking clock?"

also, we have loads more space at the top, in fact things have been removed (like groove) so it could easily be added

space, meh

I finally quit worrying about all the space near the browser tabs,

got a second monitor running, and a bunch of shortcuts in my startup folder...

now a nicely arranged set of windows appears automatically when I start the computer, featuring all my favorite locations!

I'm doing this video tutorial now and it would come in handy when I'm trying to explain to my e-students at what point in time this clip is at.

this will be handled by M4L.

so will long walks in the park and blow jobs.

BUMP

I really, really don't get this at all. In what world does this make sense?????

The fact that they took it out of one of the few places we used to have it is insane. Of course we need to know how long things go for.

This one is really beyond me.

PLEASE give us some way of telling actual time in minutes and seconds…. we need it on the transport AND we need it along the bottom where it used to be

I guess this thread should be in the wishlist forum http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php? ... 67&start=0
