CHAPTER 4. LIVE CONCEPTS 25
Track Routing Is Set up
Using the In/Out Section
in the Arrangement (Left)
or Session View (Right).
Signals from the tracks can be sent to the outside world via the computer's audio and MIDI
interfaces, to other programs that are connected to Live via ReWire or to other tracks or
devices within Live.
Likewise, a track can be set up to receive an input signal to be played through the track's
devices. Again, tracks can receive their input from the outside, from a ReWire program or
from another track or device in Live. The Monitor controls regulate the conditions under
which the input signal is heard through the track.
It is also possible to route signals to external hardware devices from within a track's device
chain, by using the External Audio Effect and External Instrument devices.
4.10 Recording New Clips
Audio tracks and MIDI tracks can record their input signal and thereby create new clips.
Recording is enabled on a track by pressing its Arm button (Hold down the
Ctrl
(PC) /
(Mac) modier to arm several tracks at once). If the Exclusive Ar m option is enabled
in the Record Preferences, inserting an instrument into a new or empty MIDI track will
automatically arm the track. When the Control Bar's Record button is on, every armed track
records its input signal into the Arrangement. Every take yields a new clip per track.

They Appear in the
