FR - Only the stop button brings T2 out of record mode

[Mr. Tingle]

While doing some live recording recently I was in the middle of recording and couldn't help the temptation of fiddling with a few parameters while listening. Moving a volume slider was ok but when I pressed the 'reset to zero' button on the vol/pan panel T2 imediately stopped recording, ouch!

I know I could just not fiddle, but I've noticed that quite a few tweaks will stop T2 recording without pressing the stop button.

For live work especially it'd feel alot safer if you could only stop a recording by pressing the 'stop' button (or 'stop and abort' or 'stop and restart').

I guess there might be a good reason for T2 stopping, like allocation of CPU resourses, but if it was possible to give top priority to everything bar the stop button when recording, it'd certainly save a few red faces (my red face) when explaining to the odd musician that you messed up and could they please just do that song one more time.

Can you make a list of things you press that stop Tracktion recording? I know that messing with inputs will drop it out ,which seems reasonable, but i don't remember much else. The reset to zero button you'd expect to be safe, but what else kills recording?

As an aside, i'm LOVING audio recording in tracktion tonight, all's going swimmingly Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

good one Tingle

Not having access to T2 at the moment, but off the top of my head messing with the siders in a rack. I remeber trying to increase a reverb in an AUX rack which stopped T2.

This is a very good point. I'll definitely take note.

* I had the same problem I requested "only-stop-quit-recording" a few weeks ago, nice to see im not the only one who need it.

For the live recoring a nice feature would be an option to add a special button This special button would make T to stop writing a file and start another one without stopping the recording. Maybe its nothing, but hang outs are inevitable once in w (very long:)) time. And i would like then to present a client full gig with just one tune out ... presenting him nothing is not the best way to survive Stoping and Starting a recording takes some time (sometimes its veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long) and yet its the only solution for now - its not perfect and makes gaps in the recording. Pressing "special magical button" would not stop the recording - it would only make T to stop writing one file, and start recording in another.

TIA

update to version 2.0.1.4 and this solves this problem, or so I've heard.

Also, tell T2 not to draw the wav files in clips (options button in edit window), then stopping and starting recording suddenly is much quicker.

* There are some improvements, but still you can "suddenly" stop the recording. If i press record i want to record something - and if i want to change something during the recording i should either have or not the possibility to change this, and not "playing" with luck "i wonder if i click here oraz press this button the recording will stop".

Thanks for the tip. Yet still optimized built-in option, like a special magical "one-button-stop-start-recording" that do not interrupt the recording proccesin the same way as manual "stop-start" should be faster and safer. And if T is a prog for recording a live gigs (along with other tasks) it shpuld have some improvements like this one
