Thanks for the resonse . @Promidi Your issue is different than mine. (I don't experience your issue). After a bit more RTFM I can find nowhere in the docs that says the "Use Paste Special Options on Paste" when checked will cause to options dialog to pop on Ctrl-V (i.e. "Ask every time"). I did however find that using Ctrl-Alt-V (and Ctrl-Alt-C) instead does in fact "Ask every time". Problem solved. (This must be a feature change that occurred over the years because I know I used to depend on that through the Home Studio / Cakewalk / Sonar eras.)

Simple question. This seems broken. When I set Preferences | Customizaton| Editing | "Use Paste Special Options on Paste" it has no effect with CTRL-V (Paste). When I toggle it I can see the registry setting change back and forth but the editor seems to just ignore this setting. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core->UsePasteSpecialOptionsOnPaste Anyone else experience this? Am I missing something? Known bug? Thanks

[Updated] I see this nearly identical post from December 2020 that went unanswered so I'll rephrase my question(s). Does anybody else on this forum use comp recording within a loop for MIDI? Is it possible? If not, is it a bug? I see nothing in the online help to indicate this is supported for only audio tracks. (Note: Using Auto Punch with "Mute Previous Takes" selected has no effect). [Update 2] I've determined this only happens when using Auto-Punch. With Auto-Punch off I get expected results. I submitted a support incident (#615702) for this issue. [Original post] When I try to do comp loop recording with any MIDI instrument (soft synth or external) I can't seem to figure out why it won't mute the previously recorded take(s) while recording a new take - i.e. all previous takes play while new take is recording. My record options are set to "Comping" and "Takes Create New Lane". I've armed the "Track" not a take lane (though I've tried numerous combinations). Note: I have no trouble comp loop recording audio where everything works as expected so I'm wondering what I'm missing. Thanks in advance.
