I have also asked over at the Ableton forum but without success.

Does anyone have any tips on how not to trigger a one shot sample in session view when a scene is launched.

I know I could just not included them in a scene, and have them on there own track and scene but that is not practical.

I just want to be able to launch scenes and then fire one shots as and when I want.

It would be great to have a setting to stop a track or sample/midi clip playing at scene launch.

I hope this makes sense.

Did you figure this out? I am trying to launch scenes containing loops then be able to immediately stop them and play one shots. Sounds similar to what you were trying to achieve.

Why not move all your one shots to the bottom row of your session view or let's say the bottom 8 buttons of your Launchpad , push , or other live controller

You can change Clip Launch behavior in clip view, launch mode "toggle" lets you stop a playing clip by clicking again on it, and if you want to stop immediately, you can select "quantize - none" or a very short one for that clip, although this works for both launching and stopping, so this will require very good timing on your side.

Is that what you're trying to achieve? Did I understand correctly?

I'd given up on a reply to my original post from 2011!

I mostly use arranger view nowadays, but ended up just putting the one shots below the scenes from memory.

Playing a second Scene with the same Clips set to one-shot is obviously faster than any setup to "play looped Clips, stop them, then play them as one-shot", at bare minimum it would require one extra action (setting the Clips to one-shot) over just launching a second Scene.

In fact, that is why Live has the "only one Clip playing at a time at any give Track" rule.

At the time I wanted to be able to select the one shots spontaneously.

I had 7 tracks in Session view that had predetermined scenes which was fine, but I wanted the 8th track to have the one shots on so that I could fire them off independently, all in one 8x8 grid for the Launchpad.

Using a second Launchpad (for ease), I separated the one shots from the main scenes.

But that is all in the past now.
