you should expand those clips not duplicate them. ableton uses different data pointers if you duplicate that track because you can change it (ie pitch, volume, etc). and eventually if you freeze it or render it down it's incredibly hard on your HD & RAM. you can hit the "lock" button on the top right and expand all the blocks that are the same throughout the track.

It's not on any decent new system. Live is loop based primarily, you can expand or not. It doesn't make any major difference at the end of the day in most cases. I think it's about what works best for the individual so everyone uses it in a different way. It's so simple to select what you need and just "ctrl+d".

As for Live's looks, it was never designed to be a sequencer at first. It was designed for Live use so the minimal look is quite appropriate.
I just wish they would give us proper multi screen support already and modular windows

How do you mean expand?

so on his example the SC trigger is made up of like 25 different copies of the SC trigger. Ableton sets aside different data points for that because each of those could be altered. I highly doubt he's automating anything INSIDE the audio/mid clip so it be best to drag it out over the entire lenght of the track so it's just 1 data point for ableton to reference (this is assuming it's audio).


his project is actually pretty clean and he makes good use of condjoined clips but some peoples projects that drop sounds in and never consolidate is where you run into HD/RAM & Cpu issues.

I see, any help to reduce cpu & ram load is good to know. Thanks

Does ableton run better with multi-core machines? The latest version of Ableton?

I dont quite get it what you are saying, is there a youtube video to explain this or something?
