I just use the . on the 10-key to bring up the Go To Position box and then hit Enter twice. The first Enter closes the dialog, which remembers where you were last, and the second one plays. Or if I want to go somewhere, I just type in the location in the open Go To box. Isn't that what everyone does? You don't need two hands, in fact you don't need to look at the keyboard - assuming you know the 10-key by touch, and if you don't then learning it is 20 minutes well spent. After all, there are only 10 digits. Nick Batzdorf, editor/publisher Virtual Instruments Magazine www.Virtualinstrumentsmag.com 1-877 VImagzn (846-2496) +1818/905-9101, cell 590-9101

OK, I'm putting on the dunce hat, but I need to know if this is broken, or if there is something I'm missing because its not acting like any recording channel I've ever used. My assumption is that if you push the I on the channel, it should let you hear the input, which it does, but it is also allowing any existing audio on the track to pass as well. If I put the track in record, I still hear existing audio pass, as well as the input signal. Turning auto input Monitoring on or off has no effect. Basically, if audio is on the track, I hear it, regardless of the input situation. This makes punching in overdubs a bit dubious at best. Am I missing something, or is this some fangled new scool approach to tracking I don't know about? thanks bd

Normal behavior. The "I" input monitor is for monitoring input, input w/fx...etc without having to drop the track into record mode. Recording over the existing part does mute the output when the sequencer is running in record mode. Also, using the "punch on the fly" key command drops the track in/out of record and mutes the output. Using punch on the fly in conjunction with the undo key command makes for fairly painless overdubs. HW

I like to mix to two tracks via bus and if I want to go back and do it again and compare to the mix that I already have, being able to monitor input is extremely valuable. If it says input, I want "input" and not "what's on the track unless I am recording" (not quoting you, just trying to be clearer). That should be a different function called auto-input. To get around this, should I just create a new track to record to and go back and forth to it and the original track to compare? Am I understanding this wrong?
