Thanks for that gbert.

One of the work flows I tried was recording verses, choruses etc in a song in session view. I understand that if you record the tracks from session view into arrangement view it links the clips in both views and the arrangement view will then update automatically when changed ...

You haven't really spent any time with it to come to that conclusion, legato set on your clips will bring the loop in at any point but in sync with the previously playing loop in the track, eg. a loop is half way through and you trigger the one below set to legato and it'll start from half way ...

select let say your 'verse' in the arrangement window -right click- and choose 'consolidate to new scene'
then your verse is converted to a scene in the session window.....keep it ordered by renaming the scene to 'verse'


I don't see the point of recording in an arrangement view with the intent ...

In arrangement view if you click on a position in the track and then click the play button the position of the song is changed to that location. This is not possible in session view.

Would you record such a song in session view of arrangement view.

Fast coming to the conclusion that Ableton is not really the software for me. Often get the melody of verses and choruses dovetailing into one another so it is not just simply a matter of finishing at the end of a bar. Doesn't look like you can trigger a loop part way through a bar from a Launchpad.

First post gives the question. Recent post explains what I'm doing.

In arrangement view you click on a position in the song, click the play button and the position changes to the new position. Is there a similar thing in session view?

I'm wanting to work out where the end of the loop is - could be say the end of a verse - so that I can match part of the song that follows - say a chorus.

How do you change position in a song being played in session view.

Same problem here. I've found the sound you get when recording an electric guitar clean is weak and thin. I've tried some of the free plugins and the EQ and compression as well as the amps and cabinets in Live Lite.

Turns out if you want to get the Ableton Amp you have to buy Live Standard and and ...
