When warping audio loops in LIVE 6 (clip view window) you were able to set global quantize to none, and 'nudge' the start marker forward or back. It would temporarily show a red dot where the new start point was, and you could either 'keep' the new position or 'revert' to where it was.
Please tell me you can put this feature back.. I cant see how it could be putting excessive strain on the new engine since it still seems to let you nudge what you are hearing.
Glad to see someone else notice this.
I was astound, when I posted about it in the 'general' forum (
http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=81546), that the number of replies was close to none.
IMO this is (was?) one of the most unique and essential features of Live, and I can't see any meaningful reason why they should have removed that feature. I'm more and more coming to the conclusion that it
must be a bug.
They've always been messing with offset and clip start behaviour from one major update to the other, and again also some other details have changed in Live7:
For example when you click a different position with the playhead in an audio clip (not so in a MIDI clip!), then stop the seqeuencer, then start again, the clip will start from that new position -
without any indication of the new start point!
Why take away the orange dot that indicates the changed start point? Why take away the possibility to revert to the original start point?
In case this is not just a bug,
please someone from Ableton comment on this and explain in what way you think this makes sense and why you think we should do without this important feature.
I need this feature badly! Bring back the KEEP/REVERT OFFSET buttons and bring back the offset indicator (the 'orange dot')!
