Syncing Ableton Live 10 Tracks
Hello everyone. We have a session mode, two tracks, audio and a midi drum rec-metronome with hints where to play, I myself am a drummer. When playing from the right beat, clicking on the audio track starts playing from the right place, and the midi track is a metronome from the very beginning. Is it possible to synchronize them somehow, or am I doing something wrong ?

I am sure you are doing something wrong and I am sure in your head things are clear but reading your issue as if I am trying to draw a picture blind, I do not understand what "playing from the right place" and "the midi track is a metronome from the very beginning" even mean.
You probably need to make a screenshot, google how to post it here then explain what your picture means.

Audio track and MIDI (Drum rack) track.
Start playing the audio track with 21 bars by hovering the cursor and clicking the mouse button. The audio track is played from 21 bars.
At the same time, the MIDI (Drum rack) track starts playing not from 21 bars, but from the beginning, that is, from 1 bar.
Is there any way to make both tracks play from the bar I selected, in this case from the 21 bar? Synchronize.
P.S. I apologize in advance, dear moderators, if I did something wrong again.

Ah, yes makes sense with some pictures.
Session mode is a "non linear" mode so you do not have a timeline to jump everything forward on. All session mode does is play clips locked to the BPM and does not care about the length of each clip. The issue is if you have one clip that is 64 bars long and you skip to bar 32, how would live know how to progress another clip that only has 12 bars?
Basically if you skip to a point in a clip on one track it cannot tell other tracks to progress. You need to have everything laid out on the arrangement timeline for that.

Or will I fail to implement this in session mode?

Cant do in session if you want to manually skip around in a clip.

Thanks! It is a pity that this is not possible. Maybe in future versions of AB it will be possible.jestermgee wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 8:50 pmCant do in session if you want to manually skip around in a clip.

I doubt it for the reasons I already mentioned but hope never hurt anyone.
