How do I keep a long clip going while triggering a new line?

Post by Kevsta » Thu Oct 27, 2005 11:32 am

Apparantly there is a button somewhere that disables the clip stop and lets it run to the end whithout being stopped when a new line of clips is activated.

I can't find it anywhere... Does anyone know where it is ?

Welcome!

Manual, p. 64 should help you out.

Also, you can only have one clip per track running at a time, but as many clips per scene as you want.

Hi,

There's nothing in my live 5 manual (page 64) about the subject.
Could you please give some details?

Thanks for your help,
Vincent

in every slot on the session grid there's a square button

this is the "stop clip" button. so as you work your way down the grid, this is what will stop the running clip in that track if there is no new clip fired in the next slot down.

if you highlight the slot and use CTRL-E, this will delete the stop button and let the previous clip keep running.

i know i should just tell people to read the fucking manual, but this only took about 45 seconds of my life to help somebody out with a complex and at times mysterious program with a HUGE manual

so i figured why not.

Sorry mate, no harm or wrong-spirited intention here, just that I've learnt that from my french mate:
