I have different parts to a song recorded using push, and I have a general idea of the format from messing around and cueing different clips/scenes.

How do I record a song by playing these clips in session view? Basically I want to know how to play the clips and have it record and mix down to one complete track, which I can then add parts to and tweak as I see fit.

What I like to do once I'm happy with some variations of clips in Session view is activate the 'Arrangement Record Button'
Now anything that is playing in the Session view will get recorded to the Arrangement view, including any MIDI clips, Audio Clips or Clip Automation etc..

Then just pres the Back to Arrangement button [F10] to hear what you've recorded.

This doesn't bounce everything to one track but keeps them separate which is actually a better idea as this allows you to adjust and balance your tracks in an arrangement. You can always export your composition to a single Audio file at a later date.



-If you DO need to bounce everything to a single track whilst recording then just Record Enable an Audio track before doing the steps above, and set 'Audio from' to Resampling or Master.

Very helpful, thank you panten!
