"Follow Action"

Post by audiostein » Tue Jan 23, 2007 3:08 pm

Hi gang

I'm a newbie to this (still) but have 2 questions.

1. Is there a sort of "global follow actions off" button or functionality somewhere? I love the idea of firing AL6 off and using the "follow action" feature to add varying degrees of random behaviour, but I also like the idea of clicking one button and being able to switch off "follow action" for all clips (or at least an equivalent where the only choice is to keep playing the current clip(s)) without having to go into each clip manually.

Is there an easy way to do this?


2. Is there a way to use "follow action" or an equivalent with scenes, not just clips, so that for example you could go from your intro to your chorus to the bridge and so on, completely "hands free?"

The answers to these may well be well known to everyone. If so please excuse my brain.
