Automation lost when merging 3 Live sessions

Post by waterdog » Thu Dec 07, 2006 6:15 pm

I am having trouble with merging 3 sessions of Live.

I have composed music for a dance concert using Live in Arrange mode, and need to "stitch" together 3 different Live sessions into one. I make a Master session, and when I copy tracks from one of the sessions to paste into it, I lose all markers, Master Tempo changes--in fact, I lose ALL automation. This is extremely frustrating. These are very complex arrangements with hundreds of envelopes and a lot of tempo changes. I don't remember having this problem in Live 4 or 5.

Using Consolidate or Freeze to make the automation permanent before I copy and paste the tracks is not an option, since I need access to all parameters of the clips in each session so I can interact with the dancers as they perform. In any case, if I froxe tracks I would mess up my Tempo changes.

This is Live 6 on a 1.25GHz Mac G4 powerbook running OSX 10.4.7

Can you help?
