What I mean is shown through my current setup: I currently arm all of my tracks and have the monitor set to off. I can then choose any clip slot and do fixed length recording from any. It's fun for improvisation.
This works fine, but when I go to export my recording I have to go through and delete all of the sections where each track is recording everything. In other words, in arrangement view I have lots of layered tracks where they are recording whatever I am playing if said track is stopped. Not a big deal but kind of annoying for my workflow I guess, since I record a LOT.
I do know that I can push and hold the track selector to arm the track, but this isn't a good solution, as it adds friction and extra time to my improvisation which is usually pretty quick paced. I am experimenting with using ClyphX to arm and disarm tracks, but I prefer the flexibility I currently have by having all tracks armed, so that I can improvise as needed.
(for further context, I typically have three tracks armed where I record cello. If it were just one track this could be easy, but I like to do two harmonies and a bass and improvise over top)
Browsing now but haven't found: does anyone know of a max4live or other solution that would allow a track to not be armed, and when I push the greyed out pad on my session view on push it would arm and start fixed length recording?
I do know about and use the "trackarmonselection" in options txt, but sadly that doesn't translate to push 2... (the above mentioned push track button to arm would be ok if I didn't have to hold it for a moment)
Anyways. A long shot but I figured I'd ask!
Thanks so much in advance
