Odd clip lengths and global quantization--are odd?

How to do this, that and the other. Share, learn, teach. How did X do that? How can I sound like Y?

Hi all (Ableton Live users especially),

I am experiencing some weirdness in the Live Session View. I am trying to play a song very simply--essentially triggering scenes in sequence. I have some scenes that are very short so I set up follow actions on those clips to play the next clip automatically.

I find that after one of these actions, clips don't seem to trigger "in sync" with the global quantization anymore.

My theory is that Live doesn't like my clips/sessions that are not perfect multiples of a bar.

So when quantizing to a bar if the previous clip was 1 bar and an extra quarter note, the next launch will be a quarter note late.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Am I just horribly misusing Live?

Any help would be really appreciated :)

Thanks,

Jon
