No, that is NOT at all a convenient workaround.. it's a huge pain in the ass workaround. Try doing that on 90+ tracks instead of just CTRL+A (select all) and transpose.antic604 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 6:08 pmThat's what MIDI FX are for - just put a note transposer in front of the devices chain (and automate on/off, modulate it, etc.)
It gets even worse if you just want to transpose a large amount of clips in the middle of an arrangement. Say you suddenly wanted the 2nd chorus all pad and orchestral instruments transposed by an octave.. now you need to start duplicating tracks JUST to do a basic transposing.
It's extremely convoluted and so weird that you can't transpose clips. You can do it with AUDIO.. so why not midi clips?? So stupid.
Frankly, I'm always shocked when I see people using Live for classical music arrangements and movie scores. It's like THE worst software for that because it lacks some basic stuff for batch midi processing.. stuff that much better midi sequencers have had since the 90's.
What makes all of this even worse is that this feature has been requested by users since forever. It's completely baffling how it hasn't been implemented.
