Ableton Forum

Hi. I have a question about one thing. In Ableton in session mode on each channel we have a rec button.
So if for example we send music from chennels 1&2 to 3 and push rec button on channel 3 and push rec
on the top of Live window we have a new mixed track on chanel 3. But trouble not in this thing. For example
if we set up some maximizer or other filter to channel 3 it would works only in not record mode! if we push
a rec button on ch3 momently we should have effect that filters which was set up on ch3 dont working and before
pushing they working great! So its a bug i think. And the solution of this problem is that we could resend signal
from ch3 to ch4 and all filters on ch3 would working when we pushing on rec button on ch4.

It's the way the routing works. If you setup things like you described the clip is recorded without the effect in the same channel because it is supposed to be played in the channel with the effect. If it worked the way you want it, the effect would be applied twice.
