Clip will only record for 1 bar then start to loop

Post by rmacgregor » Sat Mar 29, 2014 4:46 pm

When I record a clip (midi or audio) in session view it will record for 1 bar then start to loop. I can't get it to record a longer clip. What setting need to be changed so I can record clips as long as I want? I'm sure this is something simple but I just can't figure this out.
I have:
Default Launch mode set to Toggle
Default Quantization set to Global

Mac OS 10.5
Pesonus Firepod
Behringer FCB1010
Behringer BCF2000
YSM1P
some other stuff

How are you making the clips? Sometimes people double click. You should only need to tap a record slot once and it should begin recording for a long duration, until you trigger it again.

Single click on computer or trigger with FCB1010. It had been functioning okay.

could you set your global quantification to 2 bars and post the results ?

:oops: okay I figured it out. I had Touchable running too and fixed length clip had been enabled. Thanks for the suggestions.
