Instant Looping in Session...how???
Instant Looping in Session...how???
When I record I take in session, I want to record multiple takes in separate clips without stopping Live. BUT with no count in function, I am currently obligated to stop to adjust the clips loop region manually to remove the count in I created for myself when I started recording the clip (count in silence)----.
Any clever way around this?
thanks!

If you set the global quantize function to 1 bar, then if you click on the slot just after the bar starts, you will have approximately a bar to go from the mouse to your guitar before it actually begins recording.
That is how I go from the mouse to the keyboard quickly enough to record.
Hope that helps.

Sebastian, that's what global quantize is for. If you can't possibly make it from the mouse to the guitar within 1 bar, then set the global quantize to 2 or 4 bars... or get a midi foot controller, like a lot of the people on this forum. You may even have a midi fx board that already transmit midi that you can use.
If you don't want any of that then just get the AngstroLooper, by Angstrom from this forum:

really simple to use, and it'll record and loop anything you throw at it. BUT I strongly recommend using a pedal-board for guitar-looping.

instant looping in session almost but.....
i messed with it........and.........
the Global quantize only provides the selected lag time, meaning the round circle flashing, only when you are in Play mode ( i chose 2 bars)
When the song is is stopped and you just hit record it doesnt give you the quantized count in ...
am i doing something wrong?

Here the thread-starter is. Lets see if it quotes....
Sure DID!motherbrain5000 wrote:When using Live as a realtime looping station this is a convenient setup:
Creat a track whose input is the external signal. Disarm the track but set the 'Monitor' status to 'ON'. Put various plugins on this track and set a pedal board to turn them on and off. (chorus, delay, etc.). Call this track GUITAR (or whatever).
Now, set up several Tracks that will hold loops. Call them LOOP1, LOOP2, etc. Set the 'Audio From' on each of these tracks to GUITAR (the track that you created above). Hold down CTRL while record enabling each loop track. This will enable them all simaltaneously. TURN the 'Monitor' status of ALL the loop tracks to 'OFF'! set a pedal board or something to stop and start loops in each LOOP track.
This eliminates the need for something to record enable the track each time you want to record. Plus it centralizes your effects. Effect the signal on it's way to the loop (rather than at the loops output). Sound comes out of these LOOP tracks only when the loop is started. The sound of your input is always heard (cause it's the only thing being monitored).
I posted this cause I see a lot of people talking about live looping and record enabling the track each time. As you can see, it's uneccessary.

Re: instant looping in session almost but.....
why would you ---ever ---stop the song? aren't you looping stuff? Just press play, then engage record.Sebastian wrote:i messed with it........and.........

getting there Session Recording
thanks again. I swear i have read the manual and even the Power book ( I read 150 pages in 2 days but couldnt hold all the info)
Thanks to your help, I undrestand and have nailed using the Global deal as a form of count in
Now, I have still to understand this so it all comes together and I can understand Lives behvaior in Session when recording:
-In Session view, the main global record button atop, I only should use when Im ready to record my session creations/clips onto arrange.....? right? Otherwise, I dont need to use it in session whenonly wanting to record clips in session yes?
-How do I control when I want or not a bunch of already recorded clips in session, to to play or not to play, while I record a new clip?
thanks! uffff

say you're recording into one scene, and your clips are on another, if you then launch the scene with the other clips, your recording gets stopped, right?
On the track your recording on. there's a clip in that triggered scene, which cuts your recording short. Select that clup and press ctrl+e or cmd+e. That should remove the launch button for that track, and your recordings will no longer get stopped by launching that scene.
