Well, to simply mine and Raüls posta: Do-not-use-the-record-on-the-nav-bar to record audio! That rec button is for DJ style peeps that keep a bunch of loops on the harddrive and just want to record how they mangle playback of those pre recorded files. What you should do is to route the audio stream you want recorded into an audio track and then RECORD IT AS A CLIP. The detailed way to carry that out is to (1) record enable the audio track and (2) click the little marker (the launch button) on the clip to make it start recording. The file will be stored inside the "samples" folder in your project folder (where you have saved the working doc). There is also the way Raül hinted at, to record by launching a scene (stop reading here if too much - the rest is optional). A scene is the name for all clips on all tracks that line up horizontally on the same row. The way to launch a scene is to click this row's launch button of the Master Output column/track/channel to the very right. Clicking there starts all clips *in this scene* and IF a track (vertical column) is record enabled the clip will start recording. If that clip slot already is occupied by a recorded clip no recording will happen even if the track is record enabled. If the clip slot is empty (clip has been deleted by the user) no recording is going to happen there even if the track is rec enabled. So, there you have the basics in working with scenes. Hope this helps. The power of Live is actually its spreadsheet layout, just give you brain a little time to embrace the concept. It is indeed different than most recorders. When you get into it you will see that it in fact is a spreadsheet for music production, because just like in Excel you can record into clips and arm those clips with different unique instructions for how to behave. I remember the Max patches you used some years ago, with extreme randomization but still somewhat drawing on what audio you play into it - similar things can easily be set up with this spreadsheet design. > > The Live user guide says: > > "All changes of a control that occur while the Control > Bar’s Record switch is on become automation.

That is because you use a different method to record audio (like described above). Per
