Tested.
Unfortunately, using REC + Track does exactly the same.

I also had the same result using Rec + Track to arm: Ableton still switched my input. Anyway it's already too many exceptions to keep track of.

Lets hope they clear it up soon.

Hello,
same thing here.
I also tried the tip here with options.txt adding

Code: Select all

-Push2UseLegacyScript
from
https://www.reddit.com/r/ableton/commen ... es_thread/
I just obtain a black screen on Push2
I hope it will be resolved soon

Mmmhhh, it's working here. How are set your "Record, Warp &Launch" preferences?

Exclusive Arm off, and basically the rest off except Start transport on record and with tap tempo turned on.

No biggie (for me), thanks anyway, I don't think i could get used to arming tracks with Rec + Track. I do it so much it needs to be a one-handed operation. If I don't arm tracks with the Push track selection buttons then i use a LaunchControl XL. Now that i know about changing my MIDI input from All Ins to the one specific device i'm using for any tracks that i need to not dis-arm, and that any input stealing only happens with Push while it's in Note mode, I think i'm all good.

I suppose this default behavior of the Push even makes sense, now that i've gone around the world with it. Being able to switch tracks/instruments quickly with one press, without the long press, could have its advantages, and i guess it also makes sense it would dis-arm my hard-armed tracks by default, so that i could play just that instrument from the Push grid. It still seems like something that could be customized to work the way some people would expect.
