I am running Live 12.1.5. I have Novation Launchkey for my main midi device, but since I also play guitar, I'd like to use an foot switch to trigger session record - it's difficult to work out the timing of playing my guitar to stopping the recording on a clip.
I've tried this a couple different ways: 1) using an expression pedal as the midi device and running this through my novation launchkey; the expression pedal triggers midi as shows in the top right corner of my Live screen, but when I go to do this in action, it won't start recording the clip; 2) I've used a black star live logic midi foot controller - similarly, the device is triggering midi as shows in the top right corner, but the session record button is not activating when I hit the switch i've midi mapped to session record.
Each time, the track is armed and on. Not sure what else to do here. Really hoping for some haaaallllp.
Thank you!!!
