Abletonlive tips
You can copy and paste whole instruments or tracks into new projects from old ones. Helpful cuz OS X doesn't support dual instances of Ableton.
This is how I blend elements from one song into a another, with seamless transitions. My subsequent project usually uses one or to instruments from my last song so instead of saving the instrument, effects parameters, etc. you can just take the whole track over to a new instance hassle free. Now you can keep automation intact, save your return tracks, and vst/effect combinations that would be hard otherwise.
