so why did JJ never add Direct Record?

better than alot of those pointless features on there

he should make a version with direct record and get rid of some of the live based features

direct record is the only reason i won't use jj

wurd-life dun

you can accomplish the same stuff with the JJOS audio tracks... just record a live session as a drum/midi sequence and then proceed to record it as an audio track by leaving it unmuted...

it don't work as good as quick or as schmoovy schmoov

that nikka jj needs to add that

if i ever see him i'mma crack his head

no doubt!

direct record is a great feature!!!

i've been using it heavy. i'm using Akai OS 1.24 and it's gettn the job done for me. I like the features it has. It works with my workflow.

to each his own tho.

Maybe I'm missing the point of the live feature, but having a huge sample (lets say the sequence is 16 bars long....typical for me) and I want some keyboarding done at bar 8, I still have to record the sample the entire length of the beat. All I would do is sample what I need from the bass/keyboardist/etc player and place it in the beat manually. Set the quantize to off if you use it.

Audio tracks and direct record are the same.Learn the O.S Before you talk smack.

nope!
Direct Record lets you record "on-the-fly". JJ's Audio tracks doesn't.

doesn't anymore yeah

+1000

There's enough interest in it I cant understand why jj wouldn't include it?

I just got me a 1k. Thinking about returning the 2.5 back to akai os just so I can direct record again. Audio tracks just don't have the ease of use and flexibility that direct recording allows.

Your loss.

I don't know any details right now but it seems the overdub of audio would be possible in a new type of function (not main screen) in a next update. Wait and see.

Excellent!

Then, if only the annoying pause in output when recording is stopped was to be eliminated in some future update...
