Hi there!

I have the following question:

When I have sveral Clips aktive (red dots) an add one instrument to a particular clip, the other clips
would go inactive automatecally.
Is there any way of preventing live8 from doing that?

I would appriciate any contribution,

Yours Dandy

Is your name a code for swingers or something?

Randy Lust?

Well, that stuff obviously is on Your mind Balls´n sack, or whatever YOUR nickname indicates...

Before this gets out of hand, (no I don´t mean it in any second or third way) lets

return to my question: Can I put instruments into a cliptrack, without having the other tracks

going into inactive mode by switching of the red dots (also to be read in its contextual meaning, PLEASE! )

Yes you can.

Options = Preferences - Record/Warp/Launch Exclusive Arm checkbox should be unticked. This had me going for ages but it's quite simple when you know where it is.

If you tick it, then it becomes useful for jamming a controller. As long as you have given each track an instrument/effect rack, and that each rack has a pre-programmed controller mapped out, then arming that track, instantly links the controller.

I have only figured this out for one controller at a time so far. If you had a rack for instruments and another for effects, all on the one track, I don't think you could control them individually.

I haven't tried yet though, so give it a go if you have any uses for it.

Thanks a lot Jarvisimon!!!

I will try that out!
