Ok, can you explain this a little slower, did you just use a REX file and then played it back via MIDI notes? is that it? so instead of just playing a loop, the midi note just plays the rex sample right. me confused.. how would you get your synths into Ableton, you can produce a whole track in Ableton.
Roshan..even I don’t get your point?”(/&%$!#
Chris,
Ableton does have mute.
1. In arrangement modem, click the yellow track volume and the track is muted.
2. If you want to automate the muting open up the track with the little arrow and select Mixer from the choser. The Speaker on has two settings, on and off. You can double click on the red line at the beginning of the place you want muted and again at the end of the place you want muted. Double click on the red line between them and drag it down. The section is muted.
3. You can achieve the same effect by selecting Track Volume in the choser and taking the volume to 0 for a section.
4. Drag your clip into Session view. Click the Stop Clips in the master track. click the record button. Click the little triangle/arrow on the clip to start playing/recording the clip. During the part you want muted, click the big yellow square to disable the track at the beginning of the muted part, and again at the end. You can do it more than once. The speaker on/off automation is recorded with the track. You can edit it in Arrangement view.
Cheers!

Really interesting, it’s great that he’s so nice and transparent.
Nicholas, I think Crhis wanted a RC mouse action to mute certain parts. Not an entire channel or track, but certain parts in it. This option is available in Reason, Cubase and Logic as far as I’m aware of.
