CHAPTER 7. SESSION VIEW 91
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.
The Back to
Arrangement Button.
Arrangement playback does not resume until you explicitly tell Live to resume by clicking
the Back to Arrangement button, which lights up to remind you that what you hear differs
from the Arrangement.
