    When in session view and pressing the global play button I hear music that is not in the session view. What is happening and what can I do?


    What is happening:


    This may happen when you have content in the arrangement view. Ableton is set up so that anytime music is in the arrangement view it will play when the global play button is engaged. Since the tracks in the session view correspond to one another, playing a clip in a session view track will override anything in the corresponding arrangement view track.


    What you can do about it:


    If you are still in the process of creating your music and are not looking to have a final product in the arrangement view there are several options:



    • You can cut and paste the material from the arrangement view into a clip in the session view ensuring it will not play in the arrangement view any longer

    • You could create a new track in the arrangement view, paste the material into that track and mute the track


     


    Some additional tips on switching between what is played on the session and arrangement views (You might need to select the text in the site so that is highlighted to make it easier to read)
