Simple Request: Notepad/Info/Text on clips
Simple Request: Notepad/Info/Text on clips
Hey ableton users and development team.
I do not have many complaints about Live and have rarely experienced problems. Since my purchase I have pretty much not used any of my previous software (cubase, nuendo, fruityloops).
One of things I think would be helpful would be some sort of notepad or text pad for the song. This could either be clip based and I could type in my notes by clip or even a general "info" tab that I could type in any notes about the song. I know I can just use paper and a pencil but sometimes it is just easier to keep everything in one spot. Sometimes I just forget what I did the night before (no drugs either =), week before or sometimes months before I come back to another project... Currently I use word or excel but it requires me to open another file, another application, etc...
any comments?

I think this could be a great idea.
You could write information about the clip in it, like "laid back drum groove with sax stab at beginning, in C minor"
or
"goes well with BIG ASIAN DRUM GROOVE"
or
for a full song (DJing...Ejing? Gey I coined a term!)
Ejay= electronic Jockey
hmmm
anyway, for a full song you could write the structure, 4 bars verse, chorus 8 bars etc

yes, would be a verrry good idea to implement that, because for shure we're not the only ones who wished to have a flag popping up containing some useful descritpion. BTW: clip-names tend to be longer then the small pixel-width of the field Live is providing, so at least this would allow to distinguish them a lot better.
shouldn't be a big thing, ableton, hmm...?

How about this as workaround : http://www.3m.com/market/office/postit/ ... index.html
here you can D/L free lite version : http://www.3m.com/market/office/postit/ ... _lite.html [ You can insert a picture that allows you to link eg to aan Ableton project and have that way all necessary projectnotes aligned ]

Mmm, Scribbler in fact is a vstI ... so it doesn't show up in Live ... I can use it though by calling upon it through Energy Xvst ... nice little utility
