ghost / alias / linked clips
Ghost clips are a must!
i think this diagram is self explanatory every instance of eg Sequence B on the timeline would be updated if Sequence B "pattern" itself was updated.
It should also have the option to convert the clip to a real (non-ghost) clip that is editable individually ie is no longer "linked" to the original clip
also, though, it would be good if you could have automation clips separate to these which maybe overrides or adds to a clips own automation. ie if i have a 1 bar clip called "Sequence C" duplicated over 4 bars then i should be able to do automation on those clips (say volume ramp) over the 4 bars, using a 4-bar automation clip controlling that sequence lane.

Well, you can do that with on the current selection with the up/down arrow keys you can nudge the loop brace to the left/right by the current grid setting. And with the up/down key you can shift the loop brace left/right in steps the size of its length. The Ctrl (PC) / (Mac) modifier used with the arrow left and right keys shortens or lengthens the loop by the current grid setting. The Ctrl (PC) / (Mac) modifier used with the arrow up and down keys doubles or halves the loop length.beubbo wrote:...and so much other things like keyboard shortcut for moving Loop brackets based on the current selection (in arrange view)
Aliasing, Ghosting is one of the key things I miss about when I was using Logic.... Actually, Logic is so far behind Live that it is probably the only thing that I miss, BUT, nonetheless, aliasing is something that is essential for working quickly and increasing your workflow, and hence should be one of the key things to add to Live.

The problem lies at the point when for instance you make a break in the loop and create a slight clip alteration then again the master clip follows but this time it won't be linked with the first one that you extended by dragging the loop points. Basically, you could have the master clip scuttered all over the arrangment and you would want by changing a master clip, all it's copies to update accordingly. Of course, with a click of a button you could make any "ghost" clip unique for further tweaking(and more variety). The method described in another forum of using midi yoke to midi map clips in the session view and reference them from the arrange is very weak and not user friendly and efficient at all.DIgiDennis wrote:hmm...i was wanting it to beging with, but now i think the workflow with a looped clip and just draging the length is a hell of a lot easier _and works the same_
or am i missing something?

and vice versa. if you dont want that as core functionality at least have it as a check box option in the prefs 'clip edit takeover' anybody?forge wrote:that's what I wantbarstu wrote:Maybe I'm missing something, not sure. My problems when I update a clip in the session view I'd like all places it exists in the arrangement to be updated too.
