Audio tracks default to recording a mono signal from external input 1 or 2. 
To select a track for recording, click on its Arm button.
By default, armed tracks are monitored (Auto), meaning that you can hear their input through Ableton Live. There may be a slight delay (latency) as the audio is converted into digital and back to audio again. If your audio interface allows you to monitor directly (which will have no delay) then you can change the track setting from Auto to Off.
Clicking one track’s Arm button unarms all other tracks
16.3.1 Recording Into the Arrangement
- Press the Control Bar’s Arrangement Record button to start recording. (check the “Start Playback with Record” button in the Record/Warp/Launch preferences. When enabled, recording starts as soon as the button is pressed. When disabled, recording will not start until the Play button is pressed)
Live keeps the audio and MIDI you have recorded in sync, even when you later decide on a different song tempo. In fact, Live allows you to change the tempo at any time before, after and even during recording. You could, for instance, cheat a bit by turning down the tempo to record a technically difficult part, and pull it up again afterwards.
It is important to record in sync to make sure everything will later play in sync.
The easiest way to record in sync is to play along with or to use the built-in metronome, which is activated via its Control Bar switch and will begin ticking when the Play button is pressed or a clip is launched.
