Ok, when I try to record a MIDI idea such as a pad chord progression Ableton, will only record for a few bars and then it starts to re-record over. Is there a way that I can have it extending the bars without sliding the end point marker?
Thanks.
just turn off the loop button and it will keep on recording.
if you do your looping in the session view, you can just hit the scene play and hit the record button and it will just loop your loops playing, but what you are recording will keep recording till you hit stop. Make sure to hit record on the channel as well as the global record.
Oh wow haha.
Thank you! 
not a problem, whatsoever!
