Record status indication

Feature Requests
1

Use case: I often find myself recording rehearsals/gigs, and honest since we started using AbleSet :heart_eyes: that’s all we ever have -and need- on-screen really.
We don’t scroll back to Ableton Live other than to open a session :sweat_smile:, (or if something is seriously wrong which, fortunately, is rare).
So maybe in the same spirit as Playaudio users can see which scene is active, there could be a record status indication somewhere.
Maybe just a circle that could toggle white :white_circle:/red :red_circle: and that’s it (or whatever color fits the UI better).
I’m not thinking about a proper record button (wouldn’t complain though :rofl:), as one could just start/stop recording via custom OSC.
What do you think?

Thank you for your suggestion, that’s a good idea! Would you only need to see this indicator in performance mode or in the setlist view as well?

Well, if it’s possible it would be awesome to be able to have that information in every view😅

Cool! I’ll see what I can do :slight_smile:

+++ this would be super useful, whatever way is easiest to implement it.

I just started using Bus Capture and forgot to start it last night :upside_down_face:

I’ve just started working on this and should be able to release it as part of the next beta version tomorrow. The component won’t be enabled by default, but you can find it in the performance page’s settings.

Here’s what it will look like:

Clicking the button behaves exactly as it would when you click the record button in Live. You’ll also be able to toggle recording by pressing ⇧ + R.

Let me know what you think!

That’s great Leo!
Will we be able to see that indication on the setlist and lyrics views too?
Can’t wait to try it out.

I’ve just added it to the setlist view as well, along with a new per-device settings menu so you can customize your setlist view to your needs:

Hey @agustinvolpe,

I’ve just added this to the latest beta: AbleSet 2.7.0-beta.8

You can now see the record indicator in the setlist, performance, and lyrics view and toggle recording from all three views as well.

Let me know how you like it. I’m looking forward to your feedback!

Kind regards,
Leo

Hello,

Would it be possible to access the record button from a StreamDeck on Companion, please?

Thank you in advance!
