Ableton/Live/UG/19 Recording New Clips/03 Recording/01 Recording Into the Arrangement

• 19.3.1 Recording Into the Arrangement

  • 
  • Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Button/Arrangement Record starts recording. With Start Playback with Record on (Record, Warp & Launch Settings) it starts at once; with it off, recording waits for Play or a clip launch. Shift-click does the opposite of the setting.
  • Every armed track gets a new clip.
  • With MIDI Arrangement Overdub on, new MIDI clips combine what was already in the track with the new input. Audio tracks don't overdub.
  • Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Switch/Punch-In blocks recording before the Arrangement Loop's start, which protects earlier material and gives a pre-roll. Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Switch/Punch-Out stops it after the loop's end.
  • Recording into the Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Toggle/Arrangement Loop keeps every pass. Undo repeatedly to step back through them, or open the clip: the sample holds all passes, the loop brace marks the last, and moving the markers left plays earlier ones.
