some interesting live recording issues.
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2005 3:49 pm
I am sorry trouble people with this but im stuck.
Let me set the scene:
I want to record guitar loop on track 2 in ableton live (So both my hands are busy). I then need to drop out of record(without using my hands), and have the loop continue playing.
Simple it sounds. hmm. Here are my options:
1. Assign a midi controller to the Track Arm
This drops out immediately, not on a quantisation point
2. Using the track STOP button
The recording will not loop
3. Assign a MIDI controller to each clip (1,2,3,4,5 etc)
Only have one foot pedal
4. Ah haaaa Click the mouse on the clip itself
Hurrah..this does the trick, it finishes recording on a quantise point, AND loops automatically. But I need a thired arm.
Anysuggestions?
What it seems to me is that ableton should allow a preference so that when you un-track ARM a track during recording, it will drop out of record on a quantise point?
does this make sense, or is there really an easier way to do it and Im being really silly
Many thanks
Matt
