Clip gets deleted when I press record...what gives?

Hello,
I have an MPC Live 2. When I press record my clip gets deleted as you can see in the video.

Do you know why and how to fix it?

I'm using a plug-in track. The sequence is very long because I'm creating an evolving bed of sound with the OPx-4 plug for a track I'm working on.

Thanks for your help.

„Record“ is a destructive record for all armed tracks, „overdub“ is non-destructive. Don‘t know about clip mode though, but I guess this is similar.

Are you suggesting I should try using overdub instead?

Overdub means it will record on top of what there without erasing it, but this could lead to you having double notes.

I’m an idiot It just dawned on me that I’ve already recorded the track on the grid, duh. I don’t know what I was thinking.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Understandable.

I was high on something.
