8.2.8 Reversing Samples
The Reverse Button.
This function creates a new sample by reversing the sample referenced by the current
clip. It then reapplies the old clip's settings (according to some rules that we will explain
in a moment), and replaces the original sample with the reversal in the Clip View. The
new sample can be found, after saving the Live Set, in the Set's Project folder, under
Samples/Processed/Reverse. Until the Set is saved, new samples remain at the location
specied by the Temporary Folder.
There are a few rules for the reversing process. First, any Warp Markers will remain xed
to their positions in the sample. This means that a Warp Marker on the downbeat of the
second bar of a clip will end up on the downbeat of the second-to-last bar after reversal.
Clip loop/region settings are similarly ipped. Second, clip envelopes remain xed to their
position in time. Therefore, a mixer volume envelope that lowers the volume of the rst half
of a clip will continue to do exactly that after reversal.
The reversal process is quite fast (about as fast as copying), but for very long samples it might
take a little time. When this is the case, the Status Bar in the lower portion of the Live screen
will give you a progress display, and further actions in the program will be temporarily locked
(though running clips will continue to play). You can play the reversed clip and perform other
actions in the program as soon as Live begins to draw the new waveform into the Sample
Display. Once a sample is reversed, a link to the reversed sample will be maintained until the
you quit the program, and reversing the same clip again (or a copy) will be instantaneous.
It is not recommended that you reverse clips in a live performance situation, as a slight glitch
can sometimes occur while Live reapplies the warp and loop settings.
8.2.9 Cropping Samples
The Sample Display's (PC) /
(Mac) context menu includes the Crop Sample
command. This function creates, similarly to the Reverse function, a new sample by copying
