Recording the Master Track While Looping

Post by Lumilla » Sun Mar 29, 2020 5:01 pm

Hello!

I'm trying to sync the ableton audio of my live perforamce with the video I'm recording on my phone, but having trouble. To be specific, I'm arming and disarming various tracks while looping, but I still need the audio (Looper) coming from those disarmed tracks to be recorded.

I've tried arming an audio track to "resampling," but this has been problematic for two reasons: 1) I prefer to have 'track arm arm' set to "exclusive," but when I swithch from track to track I disarm the resampling track. 2) Even with "exclusive" set to off, the resampled audio track is for some wild reason not recording the master, even while armed (the bouncing green bars in session view wont turn green, they stay greyed out).

Three questions:

1) Is there a better way to record the live performance, other even any alternative "resampling" that I might try?

2) If I do use "resampling," is there a way to lock the track to "armed" position, even while switch from track to track in "exclsusively?"

3) Why is the resampled track not tracking?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Solved - I set the track input to "Master" instead of resample, it recorded fine.
