Ableton Forum

I am using a Mackie u.420d firewire mixer/audio interface. The drivers are current and the interface is recognized. The audio comes through the input fine, but when I record, the metronome is recorded onto the armed track as well as what I'm intentionally recording. Then, when a new track is created, armed and recorded onto, the the audio from the previous tracks (including the metronome) are all recorded onto the new track.
Is this a routing issue, or an issue with the mixer?
I'm stuck. I've never had this problem with Live before (even though I'm pretty much a noob).

Hello mort_subite,

Welcome to the forum.
Sounds indeed like a routing issue. You can route the metronome´s output on live´s mastertrack "cue out" output chooser in order to seperate it from the master output.
Also, the "preview/cue volume" let´s you adjust the metronome volume.

Hi there,

disengage the FW LOOP OUT switch on the Mackie and check if the problem persists.

Thank you, mid! That's exactly what the problem was.
