A scene in session view that automatically goes to the next?

Post by RottenToTheGore » Tue May 17, 2011 8:37 pm

Sorry for what is probably a RTFM question, but a few days ago I downloaded the pack for "Only" by Nine Inch Nails. I think it was used for a remix contest, but I felt it would be a good way for me to see examples of how people use live properly (I'm very new).

Anyways, I saw that there was one scene, that launched only one clip, or more accurately, it was the clip from the next scene, but it started a second earlier. And then it automatically went to the next scene and continued to play.

If you've heard the song, it's the part where the chorus starts for the first time. The lyric "There is no you" plays, and the scene starts right when it gets to "you" and the instruments start.

I've probably made this more complicated than I need to, but how does one do this?

Heyo,

I think what you're looking for are follow actions. In session view, double click on a clip you've created. In the bottom left corner of live, you should see a menu with the title: "follow action". From there, this guy will explain it better than me. http://www.heatercore.net/2010/12/follo ... ntals.html

Pretty much, it's about setting the length of time you want the clip to play before going somewhere else in your mix. You can program it to go to the next, any, repeat, etc.

Good luck!
