CHAPTER 7. SESSION VIEW 96
7.5 Recording Sessions into the Arrangement
Your Session View playing can be recorded into the Arrangement, allowing for an improvi-
sational approach to composing songs and scores.
The Control Bar's Record
Button.
When the Record button is on, Live logs all of your actions into the Arrangement:
 the clips launched;
 changes of those clips' properties;
 changes of the mixer and the devices' controls, also known as automation;
 tempos and time signature changes, if they are included in the names of launched
scenes.
To nish recording, press the Record button again, or stop playback.
The Arrangement
Selector.
To view the results of your recording, bring up the Arrangement View. As you can see, Live
has copied the clips you launched during recording into the Arrangement, in the appropriate
tracks and the correct song positions. Notice that your recording has not created new audio
data, only clips.
The Session clips and the Arrangement clips in one track are mutually exclusive: Only one
can play at a time. When a Session clip is launched, Live stops playing back the Arrangement
in favor of the Session clip. Clicking a Clip Stop button causes the Arrangement playback
to stop, which produces silence.
