Ableton/Live/UG/25 Racks/08 Mixing With Racks
- Instrument and Drum Racks with more than one chain can be shown in the Session mixer: a button in the track's title bar, and on nested chains, folds the Rack's chains in or out.
- Chains look like tracks without clip slots. Their mixer controls mirror the chain list, and reordering, renaming and regrouping work in either place. Clicking a chain's title bar shows its devices.
- Adjusting one of several selected chains in the Session mixer changes them all; this doesn't happen in the chain list.
- Chains can be dragged out of Racks into other tracks or Racks from the chain list or the mixer. Drum Rack return chains dragged to the mixer become return tracks.
- A drum chain dragged from the mixer to a new track takes its MIDI notes along — for example, moving the snare from a drum loop to its own track with its devices and notes. Drag from the chain list to move only the devices.
