Hi,

I have a vocal audio track first, then I made some loops for it, While i was trying to record the loops by global recording, the vocal was erased at the same time. what's the tips? I guess I missed something.

thanks

just press the + button next to the record button

Hi Timbeaux,

Thanks for reply. I tried to light the plus button, but it still erased my vocal track while global recording. I checked the plus button's info, it says MIDI Arrangement Overdub when enablel, existing notes in MIDI clips in the Arrangement will be mixed with ,rather than replaced by, newly recorded notes. But it looks not work for audio clips?

Has any other tips please. I'm new in Ableton live.

Thanks!

And if you just unarm the vocal track while recording to other tracks?

if iam right, there is an option in the preferences (something like overdub etc.) may u should try that

Yeah, it caused by the arm and unarm. Beacaus I manually trigger the master scene while global recording. Everytime if I switch to next master scene, the vocal track is included in, so the audio is erased. Any idea if you have scenes and vocal track, then you want to record all scenes to multitrack to mix? I can't switch scenes one by one, I want to switch them all by master. or maybe I get wrong concept to do that?

thanks

Timbeaux: There is no overdubbing audio into the same audiofile or audioclip.

Create one scene exclusive to the voice. Record this into arrangement once or control+drag the clip into the same track in arrangement view (click control then start dragging slowly, then press tab to change view), then unarm the track and don't touch the scene button again.

For any other scene you want to trigger and record into arrangement, keep the slot in the voice track empty. You can activate multiple slots, one by one with holding ctrl, as a block by holding shift. Right click and choose "Remove Stop Button", see 7.4.2 Removing Clip Stop Buttons.

I know. I mean the option in preferences/warp-record-lauch tab. I thought i have had the same problem and solved it with an option there.

Hi chrk
It works for me, I have removed the stop after the voice scene, so I can record whole song
thanks

Nice.
Keep that "trick" in mind, and start using it creatively.

its not deleted or lost.
you can find all your recorded tracks or takes in the project folder samples/recorded
