Also tried just not using the DL for tracks I record on push and it unarms all tracks when I record a clip on the push track which mucks with the datalooper flow.

I think it works if I use CL# on the midi clips controlled rather than sends. I’ll set the second/third presets to be push instruments and the first to be analog loops.

Oh I your way may actually be cleaner, I’ll try both. I think I am doing the inverse :).

I figured out a solution that works for me.

I create a group of all the inputs that I want to loop.
That group has its output set to sends only.
I set monitoring in for all of these.
The input for my channels with loopers is the name of that group.

I then create another copy of of that group for recording purposes, on that group, the tracks are armed and everything is set to monitor off. Basically the monitor is required to send to the looper but we don’t actually need to hear it if we are careful.

Ok, I tried this out today and it doesn’t quite work with the way I have it set up but maybe I can arrange my live set a bit?

So, I tried building a set that routes a group of organic instrument inputs to a channels with Loopers (DL#1, DL#2, DL#3), basically I have a 4-5 inputs feeding this one channel. Unfortunately the audio doesn’t get sent to that channel if monitoring is off, so I get that nasty electric snapback if I am sending things to the looper channel.

I am going to try a few other options but I think I hit the LED bug as Ableton no longer notices my looper, and the lights aren’t coming on. I’ll try a few things sans the looper and report back but if you have any insights let me know :).

Thanks! I came here to ask the exact same thing (with funnily enough the exact same setup, using a Helix as well), this was driving my batty.

I’ll give this a go tonight to see if I can get in the flow again.
