I first noticed this when using RetroRecord but it does it when recording live too. Record Mode is New/Mixed. C6.0.3, Win7-64.
Repro:
-
Create a new MIDI Track and set up a short loop.
-
Position the cursor to the right of the loop.
-
Record some MIDI and hit Stop. An event is created, trimmed to bar lengths. Neat enough, OK.
-
Delete the created event.
-
Position the cursor to the left of the loop.
-
Record some MIDI and hit Stop. An event is created but extends to the Right Locator.
I appreciate that most of the time recording is done inside the loop, so maybe that’s why this doesn’t seem to have surfaced before, but when making sequential recordings, as I do when noodling at the piano (using a macro that dumps the buffer at the track end), I don’t want to have to keep unpicking the overlaps this creates.
Looks like a bug (remeniscent of this fixed issue: Steinberg Forums) but might be intentional.
Workaround: make sure the loop is to the left of where you’re recording.
Any comments/suggestions/confirmations?
