8.1 The Clip Box
The Clip Box.
8.1.1 Clip Activator Switch
Using this switch, you can deactivate a clip so that it does not play when launched in the
Session View or during Arrangement playback. Clips can also be activated/deactivated
directly from the Session or Arrangement View with their (PC) /
(Mac) context
menus.
8.1.2 Clip Name and Color
The Clip Name eld allows naming the clip. By default, a clip's name matches the name of
the le it references but, in general, the clip name is independent from the le name.
You can also rename a clip by selecting it in the Session grid or Arrangement View and
using the Rename command in the Edit menu or the clip's (PC) /
(Mac) context
menu. This method also allows you to create your own info text for the clip via the Edit Info
Text command.
Renaming an audio clip does not rename the referenced sample le. To rename a le, select
it in Live's File Browsers, and then choose the Edit menu's Rename command.
The Clip Color chooser allows choosing a clip color.
