Johnbee58 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I started a new project and wrote some MIDI on an instrument track. Today I went into the project to add to it, but when I record new notes they disappear after I stop the recording process. What's happening here? I don't recall changing anything. Thanks in advance John B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsF Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Programming midi and recording is different things. Look at recording modes, or whatever they call it, in preferences to replace, overwrite or soundonsound, whatever term. So that is why it is replaced, is my guess....

Johnbee58 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 No. That's not it. Was on Overwrite since the beginning of the project. Maybe it happened because I started it on one computer and switched to another and something got corrupted. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Do you use punch recording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, as a habit, use Auto Punch, but it's not enabled when I'm trying to add this data. I've also double checked the Record/MIDI "Zero Controllers" to make sure that was unticked and it is. Still no joy. ? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Steves answer is what happens 99% of the times you will have your issue. Way down the time line there is an auto punch active and only that section can be recorded to. Otherwise I cannot think of anything else other than I hate instrument tracks so would try recording to a real midi track to see if that works. Add a midi track and set the output to the VST your using. That has worked for me for 20 years Edited July 15, 2020 by John Vere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I figured it out. John V's post gave me a clue. The other night I was working on the project on a different computer with a different controller. Then, today I put that project on a flash drive and opened it on a different computer with a different keyboard controller. The INPUTs were messed up. I checked the dropdown for the controller and "virtual controller" was ticked but there was no tick for my controller on my main music computer, which uses a Nektar Impact LX 61. I went into the input for the instrument and ticked "INPUT LX61" and now it works. Mystery solved. Thanks! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
