Prevent Clip from launching when scene is triggered

dennischristopher · Post by **dennischristopher** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 9:00 pm

Hi,

I just set up 4 loops in Live which trigger eachother. Unfortunately 2 of the 4 clips are in two scenes I use... The trigger Loops are triggered in Scene 1, but when I launch scene 2, the second of my nice little trigger loop is also selected and messes up the whole timing...

What am I doing wrong, can not find it in the manual though....

Please help!

Dennis

Select a clip, hit ctrl-E, or right click to 'remove stop button' (same command to add it.) You can also select multiple clips at once to add/remove the stop button. Very useful feature.

hi dude

So correct me if I'm wrong but you want to use a follow action to trigger clips on the next scene whilst staying on scene 1, or a similar thing right?

well this info maybe useless to you, but on the other hand it may help.

Say like you have a basic 4/4 kick running as a clip on scene 1. Then you have another variation of the same thing below that clip on scene 2.

Setup a follow action to trigger the next clip. Now for example, the basic clip we have on scene 1 is 8 measures (so it meets 9)

when you setup follow action, make sure you specify to follow the action to 8, and not 9. This stands for measures. What will happen if you follow the action to 9 is that when live tries to play the next clip on scene 2, you will have a nice little 4 beat (1 bar delay) which will put it out of sync because live treats this as 9 measures.

sorry if this is not what you are looking for

ah totally misread that.

Sorry.

Mistake on my behalf. You want the clips to stop instead of play.

hi mate

the reason I said that is because I had similar problem where I wanted the clips to play in the same kind of sit, but they wouldn't, and it made everything out of sync, I kinda assumed you were in the same kind of problemo.

but then I checked my follow actions and realized the problem was with that because everytime live tried to trigger the next clip there was a delay and put everything out of sync.

it was a simple matter of setting up measures in follow actions.

cheers
