Ableton/Live/UG/06 Arrangement View/13 Consolidating Clips
- Consolidate,
Cmd+J (Mac) / Ctrl+J (Win), the Edit menu or the main lane's context menu, joins selected adjacent clips into one, per track, across several tracks if selected. Useful for turning a looped passage into a single loop clip. - For audio it writes a new sample per track, recorded from the warping engine before the track's effects and mixer: it includes clip gain, warping, pitch and clip envelopes but no effects. Use Export Audio/Video for a post-effects file.
- Samples go to the Project's Samples/Processed/Consolidate folder, or the Temporary Folder for an unsaved Set.
