Frustrated and confused: Errors while recording.

[_oswald]

Here is what I am attempting to do in this picture. I have a Peach VST sending out Output 1 of my Aardvark LX6 which is then running into a Sherman Filterbank of which the Main Output is running into Input 1 of the LX6.

As you can see on the control panel of the LX6, the output and input are both sending/receiving signal.


Now we go into the world of Tracktion. Notice how on this image you can see that the 'arrow tab' representing Input 1 of the LX6 is definately receiving signal.


Here is when the fun starts. If I flip Tracktion into record mode... well, you'll see.



Edit: Obviously the 'did not reach the punch-in point' error only occurs when I have Punch-In selected but even so... wtf?

This is really bothering me. Signal is obviously being passed and it will even record if I 'trick' Tracktion by hitting 'R' again after the error but before the point I want to record and tap 'R' again to knock out. The file will sometimes be in the project on the selected track but most often be in the Projects tab.

This has been bugging me for about two months (I never noticed this issue because I never had a reason to route into outboard gear until I got my -lovely- Filterbank ).

Help?

I need somebody.

Well if you've got punch-in turned on and you stop it before it gets as far as punching-in, then obviously it won't have recorded anything. (The warning message explains that pretty well, doesn't it?)

Can't think why the other error would happen though - try it without muting the track you're recording into.

I didn't stop it thought. It keeps on rolling but it gives me that error anyway.

Hrm. I made one pass in the same routing method as detailed above and it recorded in both standard and punch-in options fine.


Then I soloed the VST track (which effectivly muted the recording track) and it worked fine as well.

I've had no driver changes in the last 24 hours, I used the exact same input/output setup and the exact same project setup.

Now I'm even more confused.

Now I'm even more confused.

me too! Let me know if you find something that makes it go wrong.

I'm really at a loss to nail it down. Just a few hours ago I opened up a project I've been working on and decided to record some purely tone guitar. Signal passed from the pre-amp to the interface fine and it even recorded fine for at least two-dozen passes.

Then I decided to re-amp the tone thru my PodXT. I sent the output of the track to go into the Pod and the output of the Pod to go into interfaces 3+4 of my LX6. Signal was passing like it should but boom, the ol' 'Zero Point' error came up again.

System specs, in detail:
Tracktion 1.6.0.1
Motherboard - Epox 8RDA+
RAM - 1 GIG PC2700 DDR
Video card - Nvidia Geforce 3/4 MX... something.
Audio card - Aardvark LX6.
HD - 10gig 5200 RPM Maxtor.
External HD - 40gig 7200 RPM Western Digital.

This is one bug/issue that needs to be nailed down like a cheerleader on prom night.
