Recording on existing track

Post by Zoofie » Sun Mar 22, 2009 2:11 pm

Hey guy
When i record something it goes into a track ok , but when i stop , and press record again , it goes into a new track. How can i make it so when i record it records within the same track?
Cheers!

You can't do in 1n 1.2 - but in 1.3 the developers have added this facility - in 1.3 you can hit SHIFT+RECORD or SHIFT+R k/b shortcut and the track will continue where it left off.

The work-around for this in 1.2 is to Pause the recording and the press Pause again to restart in the same track.
