Ableton/Live/UG/03 Live Concepts/17 Recording New Clips
- Arm a track to record its input. Selecting several tracks and arming one arms them all;
Cmd-click (Mac) / Ctrl-click (Win) arms several. With Exclusive Arm on, adding an instrument to an empty MIDI track arms it. See Ableton/Track/Record Arm. - With Arrangement Record on, each armed track records into the Arrangement, one new clip per take.
- Session Record records new clips into the selected scene on armed tracks without stopping the music; pressing it again stops recording and launches the clips, cut to the beat by launch quantization.
- Session recording with overdub and Record Quantization is the usual way to build drum patterns as they loop.
