Set start point of midi clip at first note:Is there any way?

Post by ywagle » Thu Oct 01, 2009 4:30 pm

Hi,

I am new to ableton and have a couple questions. Is there any way to have a session view midi clip just start on the first note automatically? As of now what I have been doing is starting the clip recording, waiting 4 bars then starting to play my midi (drums in this case). I do this instead of a count in because sometimes I lose the first note if it's slightly before the first beat.

So what I do after recording is I change the loop start point. I can get it to snap to the first note when I move the start point (if I zoom in), but I was wondering if there was an easier way. 2nd question is, is there a way to shut off all snapping EXCEPT snapping to the midi notes? This might make things easier as well.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
