Ableton/How To/Preserve Name of Clip when Dragging into Drum Rack
How to preserve the name of an Ableton/Clip when dragging it into a Ableton/Instrument/Drum Rack
- I started dragging Ableton/Clip in, it's #Annoy/ing that the name of the clip doesn't populate in the Ableton/Instrument/Drum Rack front panel or in the sampler. at least it correctly populates the start and end times, though, in the Ableton/Instrument/Simpler that is created for it upon dragging it in. Workaround is to quickly enter Clip Rename.
- Manual Workaround
- 1 - quickly enter rename view in Ableton/Browser on the clip with Cmd+R
- 2 - copy the name
- 3 - drag the clip to the drum rack
- 4 - Select the newly dragged in clip in the Drum Rack and use Cmd+R, Cmd+V, Return to paste it in and confirm
- 5 - Select the created Ableton/Instrument/Simpler for the clip and use Cmd+R, Cmd+V to paste in the name there, too
- Don't confirm with the Return key here because otherwise it will enter in the Ableton/Remote Control mode. Instead, click elsewhere to confirm.
