please help,
I am unable to listen to the backing track whilst recording on another. If I put the overdub or playthrough on then try and record I get the time line disabled red flags come up and it just freezes.
we have recorded on it without this issue happening for some time now so a bit gob smacked as to why it is suddenly doing this??

Re: unable to listen to track while recording
could it be something to do with the bit rate or some other setting which I have overlooked......?
though I haven't changed any and it was working fine up until now

Re: unable to listen to track while recording
What do you mean by "the red flags"?
Are you referring to the green / red triangle on the left hand end of the Timeline (time ruler)?

Re: unable to listen to track while recording
yes the 2 upside down triangles just sit there and not able to record
Re: unable to listen to track while recording
the last time it happened you mentioned about setting the bit rate and that fixed the issue and we have been recording happily since then.
I cant remember what the settings were but I havent touched them so all seems a bit odd
