Hi. I'm recording some hihats in arrangement view and trying to start recording in bar 2, for 2 bars long.
after a 1 bar count-in I insert data via a midi controller and stop in the end of the last bar. I did it both
with overdub and normal modes, but after I hit stop recording and check the data in ...

Thanks guys, but I'm just realizing that there's a lack of tutorials aimed to musicians . Probably because Live is known to be the DJ's software and most of the tuts are target to create electronic DJ type music .

I'll stick with Live 'cause I see great ...

Hi. Looks like a silly question (maybe it is, but...) ... well, I'm a guitar player
