Kevin: Hey, what’s up? This is Kevin from WinkSound.com. In this video, I’m going to show you how to launch your clips and enable to do it the best way you want. this is really important in your live DJ set to have different options as far as launching your clips. So check it out.
Male: Alright. So if you bring an audio clip into the session view. All you have to do is drag it, whatever you want from the browser into a clip slot in session mode or if you’re in arrangement mode, drag it to wherever you want in the song. And concentrate on session mode this time and once you have the desire to clip in there, you launch it by pressing the play button and stop it by pressing any of the stop buttons in that track.
Basically, what live does is it launches clips play—play clips and stop clips. So you have the stop buttons here. So over here, we have our master scenes and you could rename these by right clicking or command R into intro, verse course, whatever you want and that will launch that whole horizontal scene. There, you could see it there and we’re going to go ahead and launch scene two. Well, in fact those—now as you can see, these clip kept playing when I launch scene two because I removed the stuff in here. Command E will add or remove that stop button and when I put it back in there, you’ll see that that clip will stop when I launched scene two. And then we’re going to go ahead and launch scene three and everything in that line will launch.
Now, when you click on the clip itself, you will see your clip info at the bottom here and what that will show is your wave form, your loop brace and your stop and start markers right here. You also have launch options, sample editor and editors. I will talk about those more in detail in other videos but for now, you’ve got some pretty cool options here in the wave form window here. This is your loop brace. So this will control where your clip actually loops from. So for example, if I want this clip to loop all in the second bar of the loop, you’ll see what happens there. Oops, wrong one.
As you could see, it only loops the way I told you to and you can play with the live to see some pretty cool effects and you get the point and you could use some cool stuff there. Additionally, you have some options on where to start and stop the clip with your markers here. So if I wanted to start this loop in the second barb but I wanted to loop the whole thing, I will put the marker on the second bar and put the loop around the whole clip. So, you have some pretty cool options there as well as the time stretching capabilities for if your loading in the audio track that isn’t exactly on time and you want to play with certain parts of it that you can do that here by selecting each one of these numbers here.
