ableton - recording drums

[barnabus1999]

I am using Ableton to record drums. I am running 4 mics into 4 separate tracks (kick, snare, and overheads). What would be the best way to cut the same loop across the 4 tracks?

The only way I can figure out so far is to record into Arrangement view, set the loop braces, then export that loop, then import the new file and use it as a loop in Session view. I am guessing there is a better way?

well if I understand you correctly....then.....

1. you can edit each track to the desired length 4bars or whatever then "group" all four tracks together and trigger the group as a single loop.

2. create a new audio track. set input to "resample" and record the 4 tracks to the one new one.

both in session view by the way.....

hope it helps
