Exclusive WTF/ Multi Record is On The Fritz?

[agent314]

I'm trying to have MIDI notes playing external gear while using Push

That was the part I wasn't getting.

How does arm exclusive not work for you in its current implementation?

Is there any reason you can't use a routing setup where an External Instrument takes MIDI info from a dummy track?

I have this set up with a drum rack to be able to use Battery and Stylus in kit mode

One dummy track with a drum rack that I use for actually recording clips, and the separate tracks are what actually produce the sound

I leave them set to In monitoring and then use the track on/off button on my APC if I want to mute them

[Asymmetricalmusic]

Monitor in doesn't do what I need

For example I run a Kasocilator Pro.

If I was to use Monitor IN I wouldn't be able to grab loops off that. Sync isn't the greatest when you slowly up the tempo so when I change tempo I make sure that I grab a loop of the external gear sounds and that makes for a flawless transition. right so.....

when bringing a track into focus on Push, I press the red Rec button on Push. If I press the same rec arm button twice for what ever reason (I don't use a screen when I preform never have even before Push) it deactivates the record enable, That wouldn't be bad if when I arm the track again all the other track un-arm themselves.

also if I use ADD track and rec arm it all other tracks un arm themselves

are you following me.........

Is there a better way to bring a track into focus on Push without pressing the Rec Arm Button on Push?

That's odd when I select a track and and record arm it, I cannot unarm it unless I navigate away from it. I have a support ticket right now on going and they're trying to tell me that this is normal. It seems to me there are a lot of inconsistencies with Live 9.

In preferences have you tried deselecting exclusive arm? Or possibly holding the shift key down when you select/record enabled the track?

@lyovino, are you talking about a 'hard arm', or pushed 'selected track arm' that you cannot unarm?

@lyovino, are you talking about a 'hard arm', or pushed 'selected track arm' that you cannot unarm?

Most of the time It happens when I arm from Pushes button, but it has happened with the mouse also? It has been inconsistent at times…

WHY does push FORCE! EXCLUSIVE RECORD?????
i have set exclusive arm OFF in preferences because I DONT WANT EXCLUSIVE RECORD.

when im in session mode using midi tracks/clips i have several other tracks armed that are not in focus
when i use push and press TRACK then press a track select button above a track 1 time to select and once more to arm..

all other armed tracks are dis-armed???

After further communication
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

[lyovino]

That's good news… Thanks for passing it on.

I was thinking..

there is obviously something going on in the Python script that is sending exclusive ARm.

If we could find it we could edit so it dont send the exlusive record command..

anyone any clues which script is being used?

This really pisses me off. Is there anyway to turn this off? I/we should be able to toggle the track arm on and off with two button presses. I don't want to see a column or red clips in session view on push. If you're in a live setting this could result in recorded clips filling up session view that is not desired along with other headaches.

Looks like you maybe able to get this fixed no thanks to ableton..

and getting live pxt which according to them their script obeys the exclusive setting in Live
You get alot more functionality into the bargain
I have downloaded and will test to confirm

[Quinnx]

Okay after downloading pxt live
Regards to arming tracks without having to hold shift..

You need press USER mode from there all arming operate as they should
however you do need to exit user mode for everything else like launching recording clips etc..

I suppose one advantage is you only need to use 1 hand unlike the alternative which is to hold both shift and arm at the same time.
have not had much time to discover how all other functions work together
but I just though i would give you an update.

Update:

RESOLVED! It appears Ableton 9.1.7 with Push firmware update 1.13 has resolved this issue
and now Exclusive arm can now be disabled and push will respond in the proper manner.?
