Preparing to arrange – session organization techniques
It is very important to be able to navigate the project to organize it.
You can use the Chapter 10 project to follow along with me:
- Open the project.
You will find a bunch of tracks with clips organized into scenes, which will form sections of our arrangement (Figure 10.1).
(You can recap how to navigate and organize clips and scenes in Session View in Chapter 1, Taking a Quick Tour of Ableton Live 11.)

- Let’s make sure that all the tracks are renamed to our taste, unused tracks are deleted, tracks and clips are color-coded, and similar tracks are moved to be next to each other (for example, the three synth tracks).
- Start with renaming and recoloring the tracks. To do this, Ctrl + click (right-click on Windows)on the track title bar and choose the appropriate options from the contextual menu (Figure 10.2).
