Ok, sorry for the bother, just found out that now with Live 12, we can have both device and clip view in sight. Sorry for the stupid question

Hello,
Whenever I record an automation with my midi keyboard, while playing, Ableton Live suddenly changes my clip view to device view, making it pretty hard to continue playing. Is there any way to prevent that?
Thank you for your help,

OMG, thank you so much, I was loosing my mind on this...
Double click, it would have been nice to let us know somehow

...ah...i reckon i understand your problem now: you don't have a scale selected on your bass and therefore switching to the bass-clip changes the "overall scale" to "nothing"....but why don't you have a scale selected on your bass track?...you could also put a scale device on this track and when ...

…what is not clear to me: do you use ableton‘s „scale“ device on the tracks?…and if so…are these set to have scale awereness?…


Thank you for your reply, I set the scale on a clip on the device of the tracks. What is not clear, is what the point of having scale awareness if it doesn't keep track ...

Ok, maybe this video will make more sense...

I record live loops, and I can't set the scale of a specific track.
If I set the scale on one clip in a track, and I record a new clip, it will default to that scale, but if I change the tracks (which is the essence of live ...

I know, to explain this simply, if I put on a scale on a track. If I press Stop all clips, sometimes the scale reverts to C Major. So when playing live, this is a KILLER BUG!

I have the same issue

In my case, I was using a usb hub and it didn't work. Switching to a direct usb connection did the trick!
