Curious to hear someone explain the concept behind the design choices made in Ableton's new Transport controls... I'm finding it a touch confusing!
There are Session and Arrangement Record buttons, which makes sense given the new "Record Automation to Clip" functionality. But then there is also an "Automation Arm" button? I thought that once the record buttons were armed, that automatically armed automation as well... it seems I have to arm three different buttons to record to a clip. (Track record, session record, and automation record)
Does this mean that I have to "arm automation" in order to record automation to the arrangement view? Or is it only for the session view? And if that little button only applies to session view, why not have it clumped together in the display with the "Record to Session" button... or even better have those two buttons be the same button.
Can anyone shed some light?

Three record buttons? How does that work with controllers that have one record button for transport?

If you have a real serial number for live 8 you are good for beta testing live 9...
It is totally - with no restriction - opened to live users since several weeks
