No you're not doing anything wrong EPC, the track 61-64 direct recording feature is still messed up. Actually, it is worse in beta 11 since it now records the count in as the first measure of the sample as well as the original problem of the extra snippet of time beforehand. I am going to try beta 12 and see if that works any differently.
As for how the direct recording is set up on this machine vs. the 2500, it is relatively the same thing, but the 1k approaches it differently. When this finally gets working, the direct record feature will be able to record full passes or loops and play them back on tracks 61-64 directly like a multitrack. The advantage of this is that you can mute and unmute these tracks and the recorded material will keep its position in playback. For example, if you had a long vocal (say a verse) recorded in your sequence on track 61 and wanted to drop out a line or so by muting, you would not mess up the timing or have to wait for the sample to start again to activate/deactivate the mute. Also, you can still assign any recorded sample from these tracks to any program+pad and make it engage on 1.000.000 to use this as a phrase sampler like the 2500.
Also, the difference in how to go about this compared to the 2500 is that to Direct Record in the 1k w/3.0 you must do it in track 61-64 (but you can always then reassign the sample to a program to launch from any other track when it's done), where in the 2500 there are no special tracks 61-64 for direct playback and the Direct Record feature is included as another selection in the DRUM, MIDI category.
I am going to try out beta 12 to see what has been changed or possibly fixed in a day.
Jesus christ! Yall got a lot of features
