Ableton/Live/UG/08 Clip View/01 Clip View Layout/01 Clip Title Bar
- Holds the Clip Activator toggle, the clip's name and color, and, for audio clips, the Save Default Clip button.
8.1.1.1 Clip Activator Toggle
- Turns a clip off so it doesn't play when launched or during Arrangement playback; also available from the clip's context menu or with
0. Applies to every selected clip.
8.1.1.2 Clip Name
- A clip takes its file's name by default. Rename it from the title bar's context menu, or with Edit → Rename; Edit Info Text adds a description (Ableton/Info Text, Ableton/Clip/Q/Can info text move with the clip).
- Renaming an audio clip doesn't rename its sample; rename the file in the browser.
- With several clips selected, the title bar shows how many, and a rename applies to all of them.
8.1.1.3 Clip Color
- New clips take their track's color. Pick another from the title bar or clip context menu.
- Assign Track Color to Clips, in a track header's context menu, resets them; on a Group Track, Assign Track Color to Grouped Tracks and Clips colors everything inside. Each affects only the view you run it in, Session or Arrangement.
- With several clips selected, the title bar shows stripes, but a chosen color still applies to all.
- Related: Ableton/How To/Produce a single sample audio clip for color coding.
8.1.1.4 Saving Default Audio Clip Settings with the Sample
- Save Default Clip stores the clip's settings, Warp Markers above all, in the sample's analysis file (Ableton/File/.asd), for every selected clip.
- Live restores them whenever the sample is dropped into a Set from then on; existing clips aren't changed. A Live Clip, unlike this, also saves devices.
