ChevChelios Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Clip automation is what puts ableton into a whole league of its own, I'd pretty much be lost without it. Unfortunately you cant turn effects off for individual clips, but you can automate parameters so the signal is just passing through and being unaffected. What you do is go to the clip view in the bottom browser and on the left there is the clip options, down the bottom of that section there will be a little "E" button, toggle it and the "Envelopes" section will appear, from then on its like normal automation in the arrangement. For the pingpong just automate the dry/wet so its completely dry, and for the EQ its a bit trickier, but just adjust the gain until the is no boost/attenuation.Alternatively you can just dup the track and turn the effects off, or automate the effects on and off in the arrange.

Jaz Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 ok thanks chev, ill read that again when im sober and give it a goi thought of this just now, would it work?ok, so keep the effect assigned to the instrument but have it turned off, then in the track view automate an on off to say the ping pong effect onto what ever part of the song i want?

ChevChelios Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 yeah man, like I said, just automate on/off in the arrange window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imadje Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 ^you can also copy the clip to it's own track and have the effects only on that track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
