Quickly Retrieve Recorded Samples from Previous Project File

Post by struknes » Fri Nov 02, 2018 9:35 pm

How come I can't retrieve recorded samples from "Current Project" under the "Categories Section" of the Browser in Ableton?

I see all the different project files (v1.49, v1.50, v1.51, etc.) and the tracks, but there's nothing under the arrows down arrows.

Gonna answer my own question: I don't know what would be under the down arrows (though you can definitely click to make the point down), but to get the track you're seeing under the project file (that you're looking at in Current Project), just click and drag it into the arrangement view.

Keep in mind that if you're project file is getting large (later in the mix, for example), you may not immediately see the light grey rectangular project next to the mouse that indicates you're successfully dragging the track you've clicked on.
