Amps On that same point, once something is the Arrangement, I can double click it and edit it, but those edits and changes are not then applied to that track in the Session view, it just becomes its own instance within the Arrangement view? Any way to change that?
You may find it easiest to just choose the traditional DAW way of working and start and finish in Arrangement view. Sod Session view. I frankly don’t use it to do anything in it beyond DJ or if I were to play live.
Now that said, I’ve seen people jam out ideas in Session view and then plop them over to arrangement thereafter, but it seems like adding an unnecessary step. That aspect of the program really is where Abelton Live gets the live portion of its name. It was designed so that people could play over top of themselves or fire off clips of MIDI and audio in a live situation with an easier way of controlling the way they happen sequentially.
You want to keep things simple when learning, so I suggest doing that from the outset instead of creating an extra layer of complexity.
