Re-Record
Re-Record is a small MaxForLive device that helps you move quicker during recording.
When you key-map the original record button in Ableton Live, if you mess things up and want to try again you need to do the following steps:
- stop the recording,
- delete the previously recorded messed up take.
- select the position where you want to start the new take.
- press the record button again.
With re record this process is a lot quicker:
- Map the Re-record button to a key.
- When you press this shortcut the first time it'll start the recording,
and if you know you want to start again,
just press the keyboard shortcut again to restart immediately.
