SIXTO · Post by **SIXTO** » Thu May 05, 2005 2:15 pm

My friend came over last night and brought his groovebox... hooked it up recording a track to audio one.. Then we recorded another track to audio two.. Then I inserted 3 more audio tracks.. loaded some clips in them them pressed record.. While it was recording I would punch in those other audio clips... Well while it was recording, and everything was playing and we could hear it... it was deleted everything in Audio two..(his second track). but was recording everything else... I just could not figure it out...

Maybe it was something stupid I overlooked...

anyhelp is appreciated

Thanks

are you sure you disarmed track two before you started rerecording over the first take on track two?

im totally sure i understand your situation totally but that is what could have possibly happened....you recorded on tracks 1 and then 2. you inserted three more tracks-- and put clips on them--how many of those three tracks had clips on them? were you recording to one of those new tracks?

good idea to save in between takes so that if something goes wrong you can reopen the old session (if you cant undo which i assume you cant do at this point).

anyway- need more info

I opened up 3 more audio tracks with one clip in each... I recorded those clips to each of there own track.... so when I was recording everything came up but in the mix it was visually and physically deleting track 2 of my friends groovebox track....

does that help at all....

thanks for the input...

sometimes it happens to me too.
you were in arrange view, weren't you?

you record a couple of tracks, and then recording another one erases your first takes, even if the tracks aren't armed...
most of the time when i start recording audio in the arrange view i check that everything works as expected so when it happens, i stop quickly and undo the recording.
but i've already experienced this behaviour.... though i can't explain it.

I think it's something to do with preferences>misc>start recording on scene launch - check if that's off

Once again a testament to the beauty of session view

Seriously, though, it sounds like a fun session (no pun intended)

Yeh I've done something similar too... click the red "Back To Arrangement" button straight after the bit you wanna keep gets nuked... and save all the time...
