Arrangement View vs Session View: What’s The Best Way to Run Tracks in Ableton Live?

Everyone’s got an opinion and a preference. But — let’s find the truth.

I’ve run tracks in both session view and arrangement view. Are they both great and valid ways to run tracks?

NO. They’re not. I’m going to settle this once and for all and compare setting up and running the same tracks in both session and arrangement view so that we can know — without any doubt — which view is better suited for running backing tracks.
