Description

This tool solves a few missing features in Ableton Live that always frustrated me. It does three things:

1. FLEXIBLE POST RECORDING QUANTIZE

Allows you to do Quantize after recording MIDI, to a given PERCENTAGE and a given SWING. The built in Recording Quantization function of Live is always at 100% and with 0% swing. This fixes this problem. TURN OFF the built in quantize if using this!!

2. MIDI MAPPABLE "Delete what I just recorded" BUTTON

If you do mistakes when recording things live, you will find "Undo" is not midi-mappable, plus when using some helper tools, you may need to undo several times to get rid of a track.

This tool adds a "Delete Clip" button. When you press it either WHILE recording a clip or just AFTER recording a clip, it will delete this clip - immediately.

As a bonus, if you hit it AGAIN, it will start recording on the same clip immediately. Very handy in a live situation to simply abort recording that is going wrong (and launching another one).

MIDI map this to something easily reachable (like a footswitch) for maximum awesomness.

3. CLIP LENGTH ADJUSTER

Ever been in the middle of recording a loop, playing instruments with both hands and feet, and wanting to stop the recording of the loop... but you JUST missed to press "stop recording" in time.... so now abelton records 4 bars of what you want and 1 bar of useless nothing?

If this happens to you, turn on the "Adjust Length" button. What it does:

If you record a clip (audio or midi) that has an odd number of bars (except one bar, which it allows), it will slice off the odd-numbered bar RIGHT after you close recording.

So if you accidentally hit "stop recording" a little too late, this will auto-fix it for you.

HOW TO USE:

Just put this tool on any MIDI track (only needs to exist once in your entire song) and it will automagically take care of everything for you.
