    • Basic idea for recording an Improv into Arrangement view while doing the improv in Ableton/Live/Mode/Session

      • The basic idea is to double up every track.

        • Session Tracks group

          • Common Track Settings

            • Audio From: Ext In
            • Audio To: Master
          • MF1-S
          • MF2-S
          • MF3-S

        • Arrangement Tracks group

          • My Notes

            • This group is for "proxying" each individual track in the Session Tracks group so the live looping session performance can be recorded in arrangement view.

          • Common Track Settings

            • Audio From: for each, select the corresponding track > Post Mixer
            • Monitor: Off
          • MF1-A
          • MF2-A
          • MF3-A

        • Ableton/Live/UG/07 Session View/04 Setting Up the Session View Grid/02 Removing Clip Stop Buttons
          • It's possible to remove the clip stop buttons on the session view for the Arrangement Tracks group; select a whole portion of the grid with shift click, right click, then do Remove Stop Button or Cmd E

      • This morning I researched how to record a session view improv in Ableton Live. I watched a few videos, but none really showed everything I needed. I'm expecting to make something like:

    • Diagram

      • A track plan with three columns on the right: Monitor, From, To.
      • Session View
        • Improv Track Group
          • Patch A Track "group"
            • Audio Track: A-Aud — Monitor auto? — From μF — To master
            • Midi Track: A-Mid — Monitor off — From μF — To μF
          • Patch B Track "group"
            • Audio Track: B-Aud — Monitor auto? — From μF — To master
            • MIDI Track: B-MID — Monitor off — From μF — To μF
        • Arrangement Group (AKA "archival")
          • Patch A Aud-Arr — Monitor off — From A-Aud — To None
          • Patch B Aud-Arr — Monitor off — From B-Aud — To None
        • Route Group
          • MF→LPP — Monitor auto? — From MF — To LPP
          • LPP→MF — Monitor auto? — From LPP — To MF

    • AI notes (Anthropic/Model/Claude/5/5/Opus)

      • The handwritten version of the doubled-track idea above: each patch gets a Session audio and MIDI track, an "archival" Arrangement track records each audio track with monitoring off, and two routing tracks pass MIDI between the Microfreak and the Novation/Launchpad/Pro/Mk3.
      • The day before, Music/Making/Log/26/10/27 Tue found that Arrangement Record already captures every track, which may make the archival group unnecessary.
