Changing Loops Play time.

Post by Monib » Fri Jun 23, 2006 5:02 pm

Say I have a loop that, vocal, that is 4 bars long. Live can play it, but it loops it after very 4 bars. How would I make it so it plays one every 8 bars, but still keep it at the length of four. I am trying to do this in the clip view not the arrangement view.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

unlink the clip's volume envelope set it 8 bars, silence the last 4 bars (or first 4)

check out clip envelopes in the manuel for more detailed help

well then you've just scratched the surface of a whole new look at clips!

yeah totally,

how bout the time I realised you could have clips fade in and continue when you click on a scene. I mean you unlink the volume automation and set the beginning before the loop point and then it'll start by fading but loop the full volume point.

tooooootallly handy.
