Recording Guitars without recording Looping Scenes?!?

Hello,
I am a newb migrating from Cubase over to Live as my DAW. I am laying down my riffs directly into Live and then editing / warping them. Everytime I record a guitar / bass, all the other loops that I am using as a reference in the sessions are being placed in the arrangement with it... How do I tell Live to only record the guitat track and not place the referenced scenes in the arrangement?

Sounds like the input to the track is set to 'resample' (ugh, I think that's the term I don't have Live with me. You want to set the track's input to the channel on your soundcard that has the guitar attached to it.

Open the drop down box above the fader, set the input to your sound card and hit a guitar string, you'll see activity on the guitar's channel.

To record a clip arm the track and hit record on the clip/track not record in
the main transport.

Thx MrYellow. I was going off a tutorial on the Ableton Site on Recording Guitars.... as soon as I read the manual, I noticed that you can record in the session by arming it. I have been using Cubase since 97, so migrating to this is a huge change in thinking about writing tracks.
