Record: Receives Only... Beyond the Limits!

I see, I indeed misread MN's initial post. I didn't get that he proposed not Record: Output (receives only), which would just shut out the Media on the track, but wrote clearly Record: Receives only. That of course changes the whole thing. Thanks for the heads up and my apologies for stirring the thread up. I'm convinced. Let's have it then :)

i still don't get it, as this seems to me only a problem when recording live played output of a vst or fx and that i wouldn't ever do on recording. also wouldn't recording on a track without fx and sending that to a track with fx's on do the same (?), but it doesn't matter as this might only be me ;) but here's a small hint: in your example you are doing a recording of a live played vsti. as far as i remember you should avoid doing this, as the timing isn't as good as when playing back recorded midi. that's because of the audio latency of your audiocard. in the worst case midinotes can be off by the amount of your input audio latency as the process methode of the vsti can't get valid miditime information of the notes. when you playback recorded midi, all notes have timestamps and they are 100% accurate and exactly as you recorded them. it's descibed a littlebit to simple, but it's that way as far as i remember.

+1 ! but this mode should use the monitoring feature as it is now for other modes (monitoring off,on and auto all available)

definitely something I'd like. a whole lot very much.
