Are you just saying that whenever you record midi the notes arnt recorded as you played them?

if so I find this also but hasnt it always been like this?

Ive always found Live to be a problem when recording midi manually especially when you want feel and dynamics in the playing.

yes check previous post do to the test with 2 tracks.
you're right it used to be like that in live4, (there used to be only auto or in) but now setting to monitor off records correctly.

there are ways around to hear what you play while recording what you actually play

you set your monitor to in for the track that triggers the midi and actually record on a MIDI track set to off. When you're done you drag/drop the resulting clip in the midi track and set it back to auto.

Or record on both tracks with auto set to the real midi track and drag/drop replace the clip

BUT THAT'S NOT LIVE FRIENDLY

I agree with you when you ask...

ABLETON??

Other issue with MIDI ...do you have succes OVERDUBBING in the arrange? I always have to consolidate again and again..its like hell...

you mean because it creates new clips ?

Exactly

I don't do much overdubbing so that don't bother me much, you should start a new thread but I guess it's no bug though, designed on purpose (don't ask me why).
I mean the orange dot has been created by design, so imagine the number of annoying things that can be created on purpose by such sadistic minds

The test with 2 tracks recording simultaneously is very good. i'm kind of glad to see this behavior, since it's obviously a bug and therefore, hopefully, my playing is not as bad as i thought it was.

If you use recording quantization it's often enough of a difference for the recorded notes to end up on totally different beats.. not just a little offset.

I've been getting strange stuff happening when I record both audio and MIDI, havent tested with monitor off tho.

Seems I can never get a recording to just record (MID or audio) as I hear it, always have to adjust it afrter .... very annoying.

Chris J · Post by **Chris J** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 12:18 pm

both have to be set to off.

there's nothing new for audio though, it's always been like that. if you set to auto or in = delay. off = spot on

It's new for midi to be able to record it correctly as there wasn't an OFF option in live 4. BUT BUT BUT let us have the proper recording of notes in auto & in modes too.

Ableton ?

I got the same problem.... on my Windows Xp SP2 machine ...

Even if i use the Computer-Keyboard as midi-input device!!

works better on the mac though..

thanx for the hint on turning off monitoring though..

Would´ve never thought about recording without monitoring what i play, really..

if it's audio, you need a desk, if it's midi VST ,you need 2 tracks( see previous posts)
