Hey all,
Trying to record an audio track 2. Track 1 works fine. I'm using the same input for track 2. I've checked the monitor status. It monitors fine. It does in fact record (I can preview the recording in Sample mode). It's just that I cannot get it to output on Track 2 or any subsequent track.

In fact, if I delete track 1, still none of the other tracks output (even if I pull in the audio I was using in track 1). I have checked that the track output says "output 1,2" (which it's supposed to). To reiterate, all the other audio output is working (including monitoring the input); it's just not playing back when track 2,3, etc.

Any ideas?

When l did vocals for the first time , l did it on track one. They were low when l armed it but l know how to get my vocals loud when its time to mix.

So l messed up the the lyrics so l was not going to to the beginning again. So l made track 2. My mic was going input 1 so l had to change track 1 & 2 to jus input 1 and not leave on 1&2 input. If you have your instrument in input 1&2 and the setting is 3&4 you're not going to hear nothing you gotta set it to 1&2.

Like Green said could be mute.

I have no troubles recording audio.

Hey I meant to come back in here and comment sorry. The issue resolved when I reloaded the project. It's only happened once. There have been a couple of minor glitches like this for me, all to do with audio not always playing back - sometimes its a program, sometimes an audio track. I've been using the MPC for a week and it has happened maybe three times. It has resolved by just reloading the project. I guess it's a memory issue.
