- I published the podcast episode from yesterday. I learned that when I added my launchpad custom mode to toggle Arrangement Record in Ableton Live, I also enabled a mode that let me have a full recording of what I was hearing and playing in Arrangement view without needing a separate "μF All" or "μF All MIDI" track to "catch" the output of the other tracks. If that's actually the case, then I'm thrilled; that sounds well-designed (even though I couldn't tell you how it was implemented).
- That means I need to update my default template in Live.
- What's also quite thrilling is that I can listen to an episode that has been recorded in arrangement view and, at the same time, talk to chatgpt voice mode, which can take notes for me in a comment track.
- I realized that I shouldn't distract myself with trying to replace Live when I have other, more interesting problems to work on, …
- Published GitP/A/Session/26/10/26-Mon.
- Turning on Arrangement Record from Launchpad/Custom/Mode/1 Arrangement records every track into Arrangement View, so the extra catch-all tracks in the GitP/A/Template may no longer be needed.
- Listening back while dictating to ChatGPT voice mode gives timestamped notes for a comment track.
- Decision: keep Ableton/Live rather than spend time replacing it.
