It would be awesome if we could have buttons that select “favorite sections” for a given song that are always present in performance view, canvas, stream deck, etc.
Maybe indicating the specific midi region sections in ableton using a labels like “FAV1, FAV2” etc.
This thought came about because of a couple of things.
-
I always have a looping click at the end of each track and often need to quickly fire just the click rather than the whole track. Since the click is at the end of the track I have to scroll to the end of each track to fire said click.
-
If there’s ever a time we get off the track, (playing with church volunteers can make that more common then most would hope
) I always prefer to fade the tracks out, jump to a click section, settle everyone back in, then jump back and fade in the proper section of the track. Having that click section “favorited” and always available would make those moments much easier to manage.
-
I’d also like being able to have dedicated “looping sections” that have track elements more tailored to loop rather that a vox the gets cutoff mid phrase, or a hook that pickups when were not actually going into the next section, etc. This way if we are flowing with just a click and want to re-introduce track elements we can use those sections rather than one of the typical song sections.
Hope this makes sense!
