The first 6 are named "9clip1, 9clip 2,9clip 3,etc"...The last 5 were named "10clip1,10clip 2,etc"... Anyone else have anything to add. I'll try to break it in another way. Ed.

Subject:RE: One shot bug... Reply by: SHTUNOT Date:11/1/2008 10:00:31 PM I'm up to track three and I'm layering guitar parts. All have guitar rig 3 with the same preset setup. -I painted a 20 measure event on the third track. -split it up every 4 measures...= 5 events. -set the loop region to loop around this. -set loop play back. -ctrl+click 2nd and last event. -click on "go to start" button. -arm track. -click record button. -record a bunch of passes. -stop and save. It works as the last time. I even repeated these steps and selected different events...same result. Can anyone help this "idiot" repro bradlys bug? Ed.

Subject:RE: One shot bug... Reply by: Vocalpoint Date:11/3/2008 9:03:29 AM No problems over here as of yet...but I will try and repro based upon your steps. Were you using an Input Bus for Guitar Rig or just adding it as an effect to your Audio Track? Cheers! VP

4. Set Loop brackets outside of selected clip.
5. Enable Loop playback.
