Multi lane / layer recording

[Chez Jonesy]

Hi guys

Sorry for what is probably a very basic question, but I can't figure it out.

Here is my problem.

I am recording a midi track (using Omnisphere FYI). I wish to record multiple lanes for a particular sound I am using. I have recorded Lane 1 and like how it sounds. Now I want to record Lane 2 but when I try to record, I can no longer hear Lane 1. Sonar seems to be muting Lane 1 while I record, despite the fact that I have not clicked MUTE. 

I am able to record Lane 2 if I wish  without listening to Lane 1, and on play back, I can hear both lanes.

Is there a simple feature that I have not enabled here?

Thanks is advance for your help.

Right click on the transport record button, and make sure the following two options are set:

If you've got Auto Punch enabled, make sure "Mute Previous Takes" is NOT checked.

Thanks for the reply, Mark.

Yours were both good tips, but in my case, not the problem. I have figured out what I was doing wrong, so I thought i'd share with the group in hopes of saving future frustrated friends.

Very simply, if you click the RECORD button on the lane, it will mute out the other lanes. If you click the record button on the parent track, then you will here all un-muted lanes associated with that track while recording the take.

 

Thanks again!
