PSA: Ableton recording changes when monitoring is on.

[Tony Scharf]

This is actually one of the reasons I stopped using live. I just couldn't get audio recorded to line up right without manually doing it after capture.  Switched to Reason, and...no more issues.
It seems to be a case of 'hey, lets help the user out!' that just screws things up for them more.

I've been trying to understand why I get this weird lag in recording external gear back into Live that's being triggered by a MIDI start in Live, and finally found a forum post describing the problem.
I don't think this is in the manual...
https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?p=1507635#p1507635

"Ableton records midi and audio differently depending on whether you choose monitoring "OFF" or "IN"/"AUTO" If set to "off" it will recording, it shifts events early according to buffer size latency because it assumes you are monitoring directly with no delay (like asio direct monitoring)"

Thanks 0x80 from the Ableton forums... I'm basically going to stop monitoring in Live, flip my Scarlett interface to Playback only, and do all my monitoring via Alt 3/4 on the Mackie.
