Ableton/Live/UG/19 Recording New Clips/04 Recording in Sync
- Live keeps recordings in sync even when the tempo changes later, so a hard part can be recorded slowly and sped up afterwards. That only works if the recording was made in time.
- The easiest way is to play with the metronome: turn on Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Switch/Metronome and it ticks once Play is pressed or a clip launches.
- The mixer's Preview Volume knob sets its level; the menu next to the switch holds further settings.
- Warp Markers can later fix timing or change the feel of audio and MIDI recordings.
- Open from the menu next to the metronome or its context menu.
- Sets the recording count-in length and the tick sound.
- Rhythm sets the tick's beat division. Auto follows the time signature's denominator; divisions that don't fit a bar are disabled. If a time signature change makes the chosen division not fit, the tick falls back to Auto, and returns once it fits again.
- Enable Only While Recording keeps the metronome silent except while recording. With Punch-In on, it sounds only after the punch-in point.
