PDJing: How to play 2 clips in Ableton at the same time?
Hi, is there any way in Ableton to play 2 clips of different tracks at the same time with the mouse?
EXPLANATION: When I dj without a controler(like APC40) and I want to activate 2 clips or more (4,5,6...100?). Is there any way to click 2 or more clips and put them on hold until I select all I want to play so I activate all selected at THE SAME TIME?
EXAMPLE: This way I could select 5 clips, put them on hold until I select the 5 and click play them all together.
Is this posible? How?
Thank you so much.
Alex

If you make the global launch quantize something long like 4 or 8 bars you'll have that long to click all the clips you want.. Hope that helps

If you line them up horizontally, you can hit the scene launch button.

You "DJ" with your mouse?

select various clips (click them while holding ctrl). when hitting the enter-key on your keyboard they get triggered simultaneously.
I DJ without mouse.

...could also map the clip slots to computer keyboard (Keyboard mapping.
Could do the same other launch controls (Scene up/down, track launch etc..)

You could MIDI-map the clips you want to launch, and then record their launching into a dummy clip using a loopback MIDI device--BUT this is overkill and confusing. Placing them in a row and launching the scene seems to be what you need.

On a Mac:
Select various clips (click them while holding Command). When hitting the Enter/Return key on your keyboard they get triggered simultaneously.
