a few questions about DJing and the Session View

[smocksturr]

A few quick questions here:


1. I often record looping ideas into the Session View using a guitar and midi keyboard (like, a lot of loops). Is there a way I can record automation of the triggering of these loops, or is there some way I can record exactly what sequence everything happens from the Session View to the Arrange View?

2. I've used programs such as Traktor before which enable you to instantly loop a definable section of a song on-the-fly, and instantly revert back to your original place in the song. Is there a way to do this in Live?

3. If I had a song with, say, a 1 beat sort of intro fill or something before 1.1.1, is there a way to trigger that song to start 1 beat before beat 1 of the metronome? Several bits I'd like to use start a little before 1.1.1 of the clip and it'd be nice to keep the proper timing of the song but also play the first 1 or 2 pre-1.1.1 beats. Is there any way to do this in Live?


Thanks everyone. I learn a lot from these forums, as I'm sure many people do.

Wow, okay, just solved 1. I'm kind of an idiot.
