Ableton/Live/UG/08 Clip View/04 Audio Utilities Panel/02 Reversing Samples
- Reverse writes a reversed copy of the sample and swaps it into the clip; it's saved under the Project's Samples/Processed/Reverse, or the Temporary Folder until the Set is saved.
- Warp Markers stay fixed to the sample, so they flip (a marker on bar 2's downbeat ends up on the second-to-last bar), and loop and region settings flip too. Clip envelopes stay fixed in time.
- Long samples show progress in the Status Bar and briefly lock editing, though playback continues. Live remembers both versions until it quits, so reversing again is instant.
- Session View reverses one clip at a time; in Arrangement View, select a range and use Reverse Clip(s) or
R. Avoid reversing during a performance: reapplying settings can glitch.
