please, consider the "clip position" feature request: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=130610

I'm SURE it would be very used by users.

may i ask what is happening after the expired day?

Live obviously is not working anymore,so users have to go back to the last known stable version in this case 8.1 ?

8.1 has a bug like this ->
A particular Live set could not be loaded and would lead to a 'Invalid Product ID Error' message. [6165]

so lets say that someone who was getting this error is using the beta and everything runs ok,but what will happen when the beta will expire?he will not be able to work on the same Live set????till the next 8.1.1 version is out????

thank you for the info.

The last beta, Live 8.1.1b2 expires on the 14th. Since a few minutes, another beta, Live 8.1.1b3 is online. That version expires on the 24th.

as it doesn't crash here, I'll wait for the last official release 8.1.1 before upgrading/testing.
thanks alex, I know you all work hard for us (customer)

Ok Alex,got your point!
so a new beta version always follows by the time a beta expires?

the fact that these people(Ableton Team) make such useful posts on Sundays means a lot to me!

Congratulations!
