Hi there,
Is it possible on Live 8 to record the video (with video camera) and the music at the same time?
I've already seen on tutorials how easy it is to import video file on the arrangement session but in my context I need to record the video on Ableton.
Or do I need to use Final Cut or something like that?
Thank you for your help

Once Ableton is open go to Options Preferences. On a Mac this will be Live Preferences. In the Preferences window, click on the Audio tab. For the Driver Type, select MME/Direct X and then the M-Track as your Audio Input and Audio Output devices. Check out the I'm trying to record audio in Ableton Live, but can't figure it out. Page at Sweetwater — the world's leading music technology and instrument retailer! Now when you play your instrument or talk into your microphone through the Scarlett the Ableton channel will display audio meter volume of the sound coming in. Once you have verified your audio-signal within the Ableton channel you are ready to record.
I'm a guitar player, I need to create videos and post them on youtube. I have Ableton Live 8 on Mac, I intend to purchase a video camera these days. The idea is to improvise on a playback and record video and audio at the same time.Is it possible on Live 8 to record the video (with video camera) and the music at the same time?
If you want to record real instruments or vocals, you should get a decent audio interface as a built-in sound card won't give you good quality and may give you high latencies which means you'll hear an annoying delay while recording. This tutorial will walk you step by step through the recording process in Live. In this lesson, we will learn how to record audio in Ableton Live. You will need to use this feature if you want to record voice, drums, acoustic or electric guitars, electric bass, etc. Remember to set properly your audio interface to work with Ableton Live. You can do that in Preferences Audio.

Connecting the M-Track and Confirming the Driver Installation
- Connect the M-Track to your computer via USB. The M-Track is a class compliant device, which means it requires no download or installation of special drivers that are not already found on your computer. On a Windows PC, a dialog will open in the bottom right hand corner of your screen indicating that the driver is automatically installing. When it is done it will indicate that your device is installed and ready to use. You will not see this on a Mac, however the drivers are still installed automatically.
