114 Clip View
after saving the Live Set, in the Set’s Project folder, under Samples/Processed/Reverse. Until the
Set is saved, new samples remain at the location specified by the Temporary Folder.
There are a few rules for the reversing process. First, any Warp Markers will remain fixed to their
positions in the sample. This means that a Warp Marker on the downbeat of the second bar of
a clip will end up on the downbeat of the second-to-last bar after reversal. Clip loop/region
settings are similarly flipped. Second, clip envelopes remain fixed to their position in time. There-
fore, a mixer volume envelope that lowers the volume of the first half of a clip will continue to do
exactly that after reversal.
The reversal process is quite fast (about as fast as copying), but for very long samples it might
take a little time. When this is the case, the Status Bar in the lower portion of the Live screen
will give you a progress display, and further actions in the program will be temporarily locked
(though running clips will continue to play). You can play the reversed clip and perform other ac-
tions in the program as soon as Live begins to draw the new waveform into the Sample Display.
Once a sample is reversed, a link to the reversed sample will be maintained until you quit the
program, and reversing the same clip again (or a copy) will be instantaneous.
It is not recommended that you reverse clips in a live performance situation, as a slight glitch can
sometimes occur while Live reapplies the warp and loop settings.
8.2.10 Cropping Audio Clips
The Sample Display’s [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu includes the Crop Sam-
ple command. This function creates, similarly to the Reverse function, a new sample by copying
the one currently in use - but only the excerpt that is actually used plus a 50 millisecond safety
margin on both ends. The new sample can be found, after saving the Live Set, in the Set’s Project
folder, under Samples/Processed/Crop. Until the Set is saved, the new sample remains at the
location specified by the Temporary Folder.
8.2.11 Replacing and Editing the Sample
To replace the sample referenced by the clip with a different one, drop the new sample directly
from the browser into the Clip View. Clip settings like pitch and volume will be retained. The
Warp Markers will be retained only if the new sample has the exact same length as the old
sample.
