Track is REC armed/Echo=On but signal disappears when Transport is initiated. (Sonar Professional)

[Dirk L Burgard]

Been away for a while, trying to write again but having trouble recording. This happens with new or previous projects (...including Chernobyl). I arm the track, switch echo from echo=off to echo=on. I see my guitar on the meters and I hear it but the needles and sound drop out when I activate the transport (play). All of the other tracks are fine everything is moving along except for silence on the track I'm recording on.

Are you saying you can't hear your guitar while you are recording but you can if you stop the transport?

Please tell us what audio interface you are using and what driver mode (ASIO, wasapi shared/exclusive etc.) you are using.

Uncheck "Disable Input Monitoring During Playback' in Preferences > Audio Playback and Recording. This is not enabled by default.

Thanks for responding. I'm using a Boss BR-80 as an interface. Thanks for pointing out the 'Disable Input Monitoring During Playback' option. Now I see activity but it's not being recorded. Nothing shows up in the 'timeline'.

[Dirk L Burgard]

Driver mode is set to ASIO. Drivers: BR-80 IN and BR-80-OUT.

Do you click the Record button?

Long shot but a common cause of missing recordings is the punch in is set for way off down the timeline.

Don't hit the play button, click the letter 'r' on your keyboard
