Does APC40 MKii have a way to capture?

In Live 10, there's a "capture" button on the screen that retroactively records recent MIDI activity. On Push, you activate that button by holding the record button and pressing "New."

Is there an analogous way to activate the capture feature on an APC40 MKii?

So the solution is to move the contained project out of the containing project folder?
It's a workaround rather than a solution; but yes.

Re: 7200 vs. 5400 rpm

My very first laptop had a 4200RPM drive that would let me run 48+ 24bit tracks in Live. I think any modern HD is likely more than fast enough for most audio production, and unless you're doing gigantic sessions or need super fast transfers for some reason, most people will never notice the differe...

7200 vs. 5400 rpm

Once upon a time, the conventional wisdom was to avoid 5400 RPM drives on computers used for music production. However, since then, several things have happened: 1) Larger laptop drives seem to be 5400 RPM. So, for example, I've seen some laptops that offer a choice between a 1TB 7200 RPM drive and ...

Re: Ableton Live on Windows PC, but Instruments on Ipad. Help.

Also...I believe that if you use an iConnectivity audio interface such as the iConnectAudio4+, you can treat your iOS device as if it were an additional set of digital audio channels. That is, you connect your computer, your iOS device, and your monitors to the iConnectAudio4+, and then use that dev...

Re: correct gain staging in live

Multiplication distributes over addition. Suppose you have four tracks, T1 through T4. You want to change the level of each track by multiplying it by a gain factor G. Then (T1*G + T2*G + T3*G + T4*G) = (T1 + T2 + T3 + T4)*G because multiplication distributes over addition. Therefore changing the le...

While you're waiting for the answer I'd like to mention that clip launch quantization can be set for 1, 2, 4, or 8 bars on the clip itself. I do know that--but that's not what I want.
