Arm to Record but all tracks fall silent

[Roy-Al]

Win X Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5675  @ 3.07GHz   3.07 GHz, 12 gig ram, 64 bit, M-Audio Duo

Having previously recorded multiple tracks, when arming and recording another, the sound from all other tracks go silent. When I disarm the track, all the tracks have sound.  What am I doing wrong?

Just brainstorming here, are the tracks all going to a bus? Is the bus getting muted? Can you hear the armed track (echo) what you are recording? Are these midi or Audio tracks?

Are you talking TRACKs or LANEs  there's a difference. Lanes will be silenced.

ReginaldStjohn:  All tracks are to the master and it is not muted. I am recording audio tracks.

John Vere: I am recording TRACKS as far as I know. Don't know how to even access lanes.

I hit the "W'' Write on/off button. Now am able to hear and record. Never used that button before, don't even know its purpose. But it works now.

Thanks for your prompt replys.

OOPS! The "Write" button got rid of all my previously recorded tracks. I exited without saving so my project is okay But I'm back to the same problem. Help!

You should really watch the tutorials on basic recording as from what you have written you are way off the mark. It takes to long for me to type basic instructions and the videos do a great job of explaining. 

we have a tutorials sub forum here and I recommend the videos by Creative Sauce. 

it’s well worth the time spent when you start out.

The 'W' button does not get rid of anything. It enables or disables recording automation on the track. Stuff like volume or pan automation. There is something else going on. Please look through the documentation and then post a short video or screen capture(s) of your issues.

Thanks for your help. I managed to sort it all out. I went from WASAPI shared to ASIO.

It is smart also to have Cakewalk Reference Guide on hand. It explains all.
