The two types of clips do have the following in common: MIDI clips and audio clips in Live have different sets of properties and, consequently, do not share the same set of Clip View controls. Dragging the knob or slider to its absolute maximum or minimum value will make the clips’ settings thereafter identical, adjustable as a single value.
