having problems with playback

I'm having a problem.

I made a beat, and went into song mode and put together all the sequences. I then saved it and went to the main screen to see my newly created song. When I play the song back, it plays distorted and/or some snares, samples, etc.. will be missing etc. is this normal? why does it do this?


For the love of goodness I just want to record via main out so I can create an mp3.

Any help will be appreciated. thanks.

Maybe something to do with this?...

REFERENCED TO 1ST SQ :
The setting data (such as MIDI output, Mixer setting, Tempo, etc) of each track in the 1st Sequence of the Song will be used for all tracks in the following sequences.

When you convert a song, the specific settings used in each track within the sequence, such as track type, MIDI channel setting, selection of the program, etc, will be set to the values that you set in step 1.

If the track setting of the sequence in another step is different from those in the step 1, the song may not be converted properly.

To avoid this, it is better to make the track settings and the order of each sequence the same. For more information on how to change the order of the tracks, see the “Changing the order of the tracks” section on page 30.

Is it using the settings for the whole song out of the first sequence you are using in the song, and these settings (maybe mixer, mute, or track settings for example) are different to, and not working well with, the other sequences in your song?

my first sequence settings is different from my other sequences (tempo). This is weird. Why can't the song playback the compiled sequences exactly how you put it together regardless of settings. That is what anyone would imagine it would do.
