Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Thank you so much
Incase anyone else has trouble, I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out something i didnt see this video cover. DONT ARM the track youre doing automation on. Correct me if I'm wrong but I kept trying to figure out why it wasnt recording automation, or why it kept recording blank, or why i didnt even hear my track, and finally after all that time, i realized i had to not have my track armed, I only had the automation button clicked on and I hit record.
Thanks for this video dude!!!👽👍
Very helpful 🙏🔥🔥
Great video, thank you so much.
Easy and useful tutorial, thx a bunch 🙌🏻
Realy great, exactly what i needed short and clear thank you soooo much!
Thanks! Is there any way to record automation only to armed tracks in arrangement mode? Say that you add another track where you want to modulate filter envelope with the same slider without overriding the original automation. "Record session automation in" is set to "armed tracks" - but my question is about arrangement view (not session view)
When the red dot is activated with automation.. I suddenly can't change the volume past a certain threshold? And it turns automation off.. I don't understand that issue..
GREAT help, I just subscribed!
Thanks Terry! Let us know if there are other topics you'd like us to cover :)
@@MusicTechOfficial you’re welcome. And actually there is something I’d like to suggest, I’d love to see a very thorough video in MACROS in Ableton Live. Have a great day!
*on
this was literally the first video i watch where the person is super clear.
Really good video very well explained!!!!
Peace, appreciate the lessons. Is that track you play available for download? Its knockin!
Many thanks
Hey, did you used to be a teacher at Leeds? I think I came to your class years ago....
Thank you for the tutorial! I'm struggling to figure out how to map a midi cc such as expression? It doesn't have a knob or anything so how to you map midi ccs that aren't already assigned somewhere?
Thanks for let me knew and can you tell me the way we converse midi tracks to audio mono tracks?
Yes bro perfect video thanks for the info
No problem 👍Subscribe for more every week!
thx bro

Hey there, is there any way to record automation over audio tracks as well? This method seems to only work for MIDI since the MIDI overdub button doesn't enable overdub for nothing but MIDI. Therefore when I'm trying to record automation over audio clips it deletes everything old.
You have to do it with the looping 'thing' - I'm new to this tech side, I heard it in one of vids that came up
Just found out how it works, you have to arm automation, but do not arm the clip for recording, just press global recording at the top, now it should record your automation
very helpful thanks !
Glad it helped!
How can I have an external MIDI mapping automation not erased at each loop pass in the session view? I have activated the + sign but the only way I found to prevent it is to erase the MIDI mapping assignation.
Great! Simple and to the point.I have a question: How can I record say, filter automation on an audio track? Thanks
I had the same question, but it don´t seems to be possible.
Can you export automation lines? I am exporting stems to be mixed and in my production, I have a few bpm automation. Like myself the mixing engineer like to keep everything locked in place in the session. He Uses DP which has that option. If Ableton doesn't have that option, what would be the best solution?
In arrangement view can you record the automation lanes while recording the midi notes? When I do that the lanes are not recorded (but the midi CC changes are saved somewhere)
Hey Bob, when you're recording, all activity will be recorded, including played MIDI notes and automation, as long as you have 'Automation Arm' enabled. This is located in the transport bar at the top of the window. Let us know if this doesn't solve it, we're happy to help!
thx a lot )))
Thanx for the great tutorial! Can I also re-edit the recorded automation in a later part of the track? (keeping the old recorded automation in the beginning of my track + adding the new recorded automation in a later part in the same track + same control) Cause if I try to do that now, then it gets grey and automation gets enabled for this control + the re-enable automation ''orange'' arrow lights up.
Hey Lennart.
If you edit a parameter within Ableton Live, the automation for that parameter within your track is temporarily disabled until you hit the "Back to Arrangement" button in the top right hand corner of the arrangement window. To record automation later in the track, you need to hit the record button in the top transport bar and make the changes as the track is playing. This should leave your automation in place earlier on in the track, as well as recording the changes in the later part of the track.
Does this answer your question? Let us know if not, we're more than happy to help :)
Thanks
@@MusicTechOfficial Thanx a lot this 100% answers my question :-) Thanx for taking the time to reply!

Does this work the same for audio tracks.
Sad that it only seems to work for midi and not audio clips....
Thanks for your efforts
Thanks for your support. We're publishing new videos weekly, so make sure you subscribe for the latest tutorials :)
Anybody had issues with recording automation to a group? When I record a part with automation to a group it doesn’t actually end up recording the automation. Anybody know how to do that?
can you record automation over an audio file also?
You certainly can!
Thank you!
