Operation Manual

CHAPTER 8. CLIP VIEW 108
Live 7. For this reason, we have provided a Legacy Hi-Q Mode option, which is enabled by
default in the Options menu whenever you load an old Set that has Hi-Q enabled for any
clips. Simply disable this option if you wish to use the new mode.
8.2.7 Clip Start and End Fades
The Clip Fade Switch.
The Clip Fade switch, when enabled, applies a short fade to the clip start and end to avoid
clicks at the clip edges. The length of the fade is signal-dependent and ranges from 0-4
milliseconds.
8.2.8 Clip RAM Mode
The RAM Mode Switch.
If the RAM Mode switch is on, Live is loading the audio referenced by the clip into the
computer's memory rather than reading it from disk in real time. RAM Mode can help with
these problems:
Your computer's hard disk is too slow to deliver audio for as many tracks as desired
in real time. For more information on disk-related problems, please refer to the
respective section.
You are experiencing audio dropouts when playing clips in Legato Mode.
Use RAM Mode with care, as RAM is usually a scarce resource. Your computer is using the
hard disk for swapping out RAM contents that have not been used in a while. The more
clips you are running in RAM Mode, the higher the likelihood for them to be swapped
