Hi Guys
When using loop function I select replace option using the track recording mode tab I get the same result as "takes" ie. new lanes are created and previous recording muted.The manual indicates that no new lanes are created which is what I want.
Also when audio track is armed I do not get the red slider as indicated in the manual just no slider at all.
The replace function works as it should if it is a virtual instrument track.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Mixcraft Pro studio 7
Cheers

Does this help?

Hi,

Changing the default recording mode in preferences only affects new tracks. As Pete points out, you can right-click to set the recording mode for an existing track.

In regard to the volume slider, it is not available in ASIO mode. This is one of the ways that ASIO provides good performance, it bypasses extra audio processing. When you're using ASIO, you control the recording volume with your hardware.

Greg, I just tried it, because I haven't found the need to try replace mode before- and I have to agree. It doesn't seem to work as expected or described. Replace mode and takes mode both create new lanes, muting the previous take. Doesn't seem correct, maybe I am missing something?

Did you do what Pete suggested? Like so:



When I choose Replace mode, no new lanes are created.

Yep, exactly like that. Existing track, etc. Several tries, same each time.
Current Mixcraft version of course.

Hi,

Well, that's strange. What do you have set in Recording preferences? You're using build 316?

I even tried changing Recording Mode preferences back to Overdub, but as long as the existing track is set to Replace, it replaces.




Greg

Yes, Build 316, same result in WaveRT and ASIO.

Hi,

Okay, I figured it out. You are in loop mode, and I wasn't. If you turn off loop mode, it will replace instead of overdub.

Interesting, so while loop recording, it ignores the recording mode setting if you are in Replace mode. Takes mode or Overdub mode work correctly.

Do you want to just replace the same audio clip over and over in loop mode? Maybe that's not even a thing that we'd want to do.


Greg

I'd question any need. Just tried to duplicate the OP's description.

If somebody needs to run replace recording mode in a loop, I can file a problem report.

A bit different but:

Would it be a good idea when doing a punch in recording that the recording stops automatically when it reached the end marker and the caret went back to the beginning marker?

In review, it even looks more silly.
Sorry to waste your time chasing that ghost Greg.

I know this is an old posting BUT I actually do have a use for "replace recording mode in a loop". I see MX7Pro still has this behavior.

I use a foot switch to start/stop the transport. I will set the loop for the section I want to replay "until I get it right" which usually entails playing a section repeatedly while i let my mind run free and play creatively. When I hit upon something "good" I stop the recording.

Unfortunately in the forced "takes" mode when using a loop I can end up with a hundred different takes. Yes I can go back and delete the 1st 99 takes but it seems like replace mode should work whether I am in loops or not.

so maybe it should at least be in the "fix it" queue of bugs...

Hi,

Okay, thanks for the suggestion!

This wouldn't show up until Mixcraft 8 at the earliest, but the good news is that Mixcraft 8 is getting closer.
