Re-Record

$4.00

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.

Quality of Ableton life is now better

Major improvement to my recording workflow. I have it mapped to a macro pad so I just hit the button and put my hand back on the guitar, no clicking or ctrlz-ing necessary. I would sorely miss it if it went away.

Great time saver.

Re-Record is one of those quality of life devices you quickly learn to appreciate. The ability to to start over without hassle when you screw up is invaluable.

Huge timesaver

This little device saves me a lot of time and makes my workflow much faster. If you like me are used to recording multiple takes one after another, till you get the one you love, this device is like a godsend.

Time saver

While recording guitar, I have this mapped to a pedal to restart takes.
It works like a charm.

Re-Record - speeds up the recording process:

If you make a mistake while recording, Use the device (with a keyboard shortcut) to:

  • Stop the recording.
  • Delete the previous take.
  • Start the recording again.
Installation
  • Place the devices in your Ableton Live User Library.
  • Default User Library locations:
    • Windows: \USERS\[USERNAME]\DOCUMENTS\ABLETON\USER LIBRARY
    • Mac: MACINTOSH HD/USERS/[USERNAME]/MUSIC/ABLETON/USER LIBRARY
  • Live needs to analyze your User Library after adding devices. This process may take some time. In the meantime, you can drag and drop the devices from your User Library onto your tracks.
  • After Live found them you'll be able to access them from Live's Browser.
