Hey guys. Looking to lay down recordings for a Session View-based performance I've built. My understanding is that if I press Record, anything happening in Session should translate over to the arrangement. That works for me up to this point: I'm able to press record and every instrument gets recorded, but the "performance" in Session view starts with a button on my MPK261 that triggers the "click" audio clip (not using the built-in metronome), along with the backing track and all the clips holding my instrument/looper automation. So I press this button on the "1" after the count-in, and it triggers the backing track as expected, but it also disables all of my instruments. No MIDI reaches the armed tracks once I press that button. The only track that does show MIDI data is an unused track that will eventually send program changes to my controller, which is odd because this track isn't even armed to record. I'm sure I'm missing something critical, and this question has probably been asked a dozen times, but I didn't know how to phrase this to yield results. Thanks!
