Hello everyone,

I got a weird problem that I can't seem to solve. A week ago I made a beat, which I saved. It wasn't anything too complicated, just a two bar loop.

Track 1: sample
Track 2: kick
Track 3: snare
Track 4: hihat
Track 5: bass synth (internal instrument)

Now when I loaded it up last night I only heard track 1. This track wasn't in solo mode, nor were track 2-5 muted. I checked if any notes had disappeared, but this wasn't the case. When I solo'ed track 2-5 however, I did hear the kick, snare, hihat and bass line. Muting track 1 didn't seem to make the other sounds audible. So I went to the internal mixer and also there I didnt see anything weird. I'm really confused about what's going on.

Does anybody over here got a clue whats going on and how I can solve this?

Thanx! Solved it. This is why I love this forum, people helping each other out.

lol i make that same problem for myself quite a bit, i also have a habit of disabling record arm and then scratching my head over why i cant record to a track.

I love this forum I've learned so much being here. I probably check this website as much a the regular joe checks facebook.
