Waiting for External Devices to Become Silent.
•Skip — By default, Live will wait for ten seconds before starting a real-time render. This
should allow any sound from external devices to fade out, but if you need more time (for
example, if you’re waiting for a long reverb tail), you can increase the wait time by typing
a new number in the number box. On the other hand, if you’re sure that your external de-
vices aren’t making any sound, you can speed the process along by pressing “Skip,“ which
will start the render immediately.
After the render has begun, the dialog changes to show a recording progress bar:
Real-Time Rendering in Progress.
•Auto-Restart on drop-outs — Rendering in real-time requires somewhat more CPU power
than non-real-time rendering, and in some cases drop-outs (small gaps or glitches in the
audio) can occur. Live detects when drop-outs happen, and rendering will start again from
the beginning if the Auto-Restart option is enabled.
•Restart — manually restarts the rendering process.
•Cancel — stops the rendering process and deletes the partially rendered file.
The number of rendering attempts (if there has been more than one) will also be listed in the dia-
