 Envelope follower is a Max 4 Live device. It takes an incoming signal, which can then be remapped onto another parameter. A nice way to use it, is to have two chains - one with NO effects, just a clean chain and the other should be the Envelope Follower grouped with a compressor (in front of it) and use the sidechain function to route the signal to a parameter on the same track. The Envelope follower group can be muted, so we just hear the result of the now automated "clean" chain.

Follow actions on clips are a super powerful way to control or automate the flow of your playing clips and scenes. You might have to click the little arrow/triangle next to the word "Clip" to see the follow options. Click the Follow Action button so it's activated and orange. The modes are mostly fairly self explanatory. It's worth noting that in Ableton 11 you can have two follow actions that can be chosen at random with a % slider. Pret-ty cool! The ones that might need explanation or expanding -  "Jump" lets you specify a scene number to go to - eg 1-6 as shown "Any" and "Other" are similar but Other will try to pick a clip different to itself, as long as it isn't "alone". See clips 5 & 6 above - they are isolated from clips 1,2 & 3, by having an empty space at scene 4. So if they are both set to "other", they will only choose between themselves (5 & 6).
