How do you make only certain clips quantized to 16th notes so everything else is global?

@Mineheads

clip properties, under ""Lauch". and of course, rtfm :)

Take this as a constructive comment: The samples and loops are alright but try to keep your songs selection around the same BPM and more importantly, melodic harmony. Keys are off and there's no flow and continuity throughout the demo so it sounded murky . When triggering the pads, it seemed like you were trying to put out a fire..LOL...relax, memorize your pads and effects, and try different combinations and sequences. But overall, great effort and I really enjoyed the demo.Keep the hard work.

Hi there, i've searched everywhere for some advice regarding my apc20 to no avail and was wondering if you could help?

I'm using ableton live 8 on a 2009 mac. My mac crashed after a software update and apple fixed (i'm not sure what they did but they did not wipe it). Anyway since the fix my apc20 freezes. Ableton doesn't become unresponsive but the apc buttons fail to work the lights stick and the only way to remedy this is to switch it on and off again. Any suggestions?
