Question 1

In Live's Session View, what does the 'Arm' (Record Enable) button on a track do before recording?

Accepted Answer

Prepares the track to receive and monitor input while waiting for the global record button

Answer

Arming a track enables input monitoring and prepares it for recording; actual recording begins when the Session Record or Arrangement Record button is activated.

Question 2

What is the purpose of the 'Count-In' setting in Live's record preferences?

Accepted Answer

Sets how many bars play before recording begins

Answer

Count-In plays a specified number of bars with the metronome before recording starts, giving performers time to prepare.

Question 3

When recording audio into the Arrangement in Live, how do you enable punch-in recording to record only within a specific range?

Accepted Answer

Set the Arrangement Loop brace and enable the Punch In/Out buttons

Answer

Activating the Punch In and/or Punch Out buttons in the Arrangement record controls restricts recording to begin and/or end at the loop brace boundaries.

Question 4

Which of the following best describes 'Input Monitoring' set to 'Auto' on a Live audio track?

Accepted Answer

Monitors the input only when the track is armed and Live is not playing back that track's existing audio

Answer

Auto monitoring passes the live input through to the output when the track is armed and nothing is playing back on that track, switching off live monitoring during playback.

Question 5

How do you record a new audio clip directly from one audio track into a clip slot on another audio track in Live's Session View?

Accepted Answer

Set the target track's 'Audio From' to receive input from the source track, arm the target track, then record

Answer

By routing a track's audio output into another track's 'Audio From' input and arming the destination track, you can record the audio of any Live track into a new clip.
