Subject:MIDI Recording Problems Posted by: Songwriter Parsons Date:1/7/2011 11:01:10 PM Say I've recorded 4 bars on a MIDI track. Say I want to add more bars to that. I place the cursor at the 1st beat of the next bar ,record the second part, and as the 2 bar count-off is going ACID erases notes from the original clip. What do I do?

Subject:RE: MIDI Recording Problems Reply by: Songwriter Parsons Date:1/11/2011 2:44:10 PM Thanks mD. I have used the Midi Merge, but it only allows me to add to the current section, in other word, if I;ve recorded 4 bars, midi merge allows me to record ONLY in those 4 bars. I want to record starting in Bar 5 and contiuing. I've also tried recording later on in the track with ithe intention of sliding the new clip into the previous one. Not a note will record
Subject:RE: MIDI Recording Problems Reply by: Iacobus Date:1/12/2011 11:23:11 AM I'm trying to repro but cannot seem to do so. I started a new project and added a MIDI track routed to a soft synth (Kore Player, in this case). I recorded a few bars, then stopped. I then turned on MIDI merge and recorded on top of what I had already recorded and then once it reached the end of the existing clip, it simply extended it until I was done. Make sure the track's clip in question has focus. You can tell when a clip has focus by the matching shade in relation to the track. (Instead of white, it will be the track's color.)

The new recording replaces the old clip but stops recording at the end of the clip. Have a request in for tech support, but am not hopeful as they have yet to solve 1 issue out of 7.
