Hello, i have a question: How can I deactivate any interaction during recording a track? Yesterday I played a MIDI (VST) instrument and “played” with e.g. the speed (clock of the metronome). The morphing of the metronome was recorded while I was recording. Is it possible to deactivate this “recording of morphing” some parameters as long as I record? Thank you very much. ---

Hi Johannes, I´m not sure - what exactly do you mean by the speed/clock of the metronome? Are you referring to the tempo track? Or something else that has do to with tempo on your VST instrument? Anyways, if it´s the tempo track - you can easily fix it by simply deleting the knots that indicate a change of tempo. If you mean parameters on a VST-Instrument that should not be recorded while recording something else: F6 under the column “Suspend Write”. You can pick the parameter(s) which you want to disable temporarily from being modified. ---

Thank you for your answer. Its hard to explain my “problem”. I changed DURING the record of a vst track some parameters in Cubase like the clock speed. After finishing the record of the vst track I saw that the parameters were in “realtime” recorded and then played. I do not want to get the change, because I only experimented with e.g clock and so on. This should be a static parameter and not a real-time parameter which is recorded by changing the value. But I will try it with the “Suspend write”, maybe I can choose or deactivate any recordable parameters. Thanks! ---

Hi, > [@Johannes\_Kreller](#): > > I changed DURING the record of a vst track some parameters in Cubase like the clock speed. Could you attach a screenshot of the given parameter, please? Did you Record, or did you also Write Automation? ---

Sorry i dont know what i recorded. I started the record by clicking the round record symbol in the “transport window”…☹ i recorded the track AND obvousily the parameter changes. Where can I record only the track and “nothing more”? 🙂 sorry, i’m a cubase noob. ---

Hi, Sorry, we still don’t know, what did you record, so we can’t provide an advice, how to avoid it. ---

Hi Johannes! In order to help you with your issue, it’s important that we fully understand what happened. Therefore, we need to use the same terminology. > [@Johannes\_Kreller](#): > > I changed DURING the record of a vst track some parameters in Cubase like the clock speed. By “vst track” do you mean an Instrument Track? Here’s an example of an Instrument Track: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/steinberg/original/4X/c/2/0/c2082423b97aaeacd3b1beed299bf7c24510a6f0.png) By “clock speed”, are you referring to the Tempo? Here’s where you can adjust the Tempo in Cubase: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/steinberg/original/4X/3/9/2/392c652f5b1a2559b94bd0782ea98a59a4f7e09d.png) > [@Johannes\_Kreller](#): > > i recorded the track AND obvousily the parameter changes. What parameter(s) specifically?
