Hey Guys,

Currently, I am trying to record and save 3 audio tracks in my project. As far as recording and playback goes, everything works fine. However when I save my project and restart my MPC the recorded audio disappears. The actual waveform in the audiotrack is gone..

I'm sending out midi via usb and receiving the audio from an external synth into an audio track.

I have watched probably every tutorial on youtube, did the exact same thing, but it keeps deleting the recording. :hmmm:

Restarting or unplugging for 30 sec does not help.

I'm running version 2.9.0
Surface version 0.10 (don't know if relevant)

I hope you guys can help.

Thanks in advance!

What is the length of the audio tracks you've recorded? While in standalone, the One/Live/X are all capped at a maximum 5 minutes per audio track. Try to save anything longer, and the whole recording gets dumped. Note that you can sample for up to 20 minutes in length...

LEGEND :worthy:

the name of the midi program was the same as the audio track. I've changed it and now it saves it..

Thank you so much!

Kind regards,

Thanks for your reply. It is solved by changing the name of the midi program.

The answer from a person who actually uses the machine. :nod: Great answer!
