Win 10, The record timer timed out as usual but the recording did not start. I set the timer the same way I have been for weeks but this time the counter was not counting, nothing being recorded.
The only difference I can find is that I clicked on the vu meter to show the audio levels before setting the timer record option. I stopped the timer. Programmed it again without any audio in the meter, and the recording started as expected.
I cannot try this again to prove it because my 48 hour project is already recording.
A fluke in the Timer Record?

Re: A fluke in the Timer Record?
I regularly user Timer Record - both with and without setting the monitoring on and it never fails for me.

Re: A fluke in the Timer Record?
I might be able to run a test tomorrow morning between 2am and 3am where one recording stops and the second one restarts.
I grant that this may be a one-time situation but I am happy that I just happened to be there at 3am Saturday to see that it was not recording.
