Live 12: Automatic track arming is driving me crazy
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2024 8:36 pm
I'm noticing a maddening new behavior in Live 12 that I'd love to be able to turn off.
In arrangement view, every time I click on a region, or a track lane, Ableton automatically record-enables that track. Not only does this cause playback to skip, as Ableton has to switch buffers to record-enable a new track, it also interrupts the recording of whatever track I was intending to record, and starts recording OVER the track that I was merely trying to select and make edits to.
For instance, if I'm recording a vocalist, I am no longer able to select and mute regions on other tracks while Ableton is recording. If I try, Ableton will stop recording the vocalist and start recording over whatever track I was trying to click on to mute / edit regions. I never had this issue in previous versions.
If anyone could help me disable this behavior I'd greatly appreciate it!
