MIDI Record works but not Retrospective MIDI Record or MIDI Loop Record
Hello, I have been stuck on this one and I have scoured the forums and also tried changing my configuration with 2019.10, 2019.12 and running them both on Mojave and High Sierra.
I'm not in Quick Punch record mode which is what other people seemed to be getting tripped up by. I've also set the MIDI pref for default thru instrument to the proper setting. I am able to do a regular MIDI record totally fine. But as soon as I go into playback in regular record mode with my armed track, hit a few midi notes, and then stop playback and try to activate Retrospective Record, all I get is an empty MIDI region. And the same is true for loop midi recording. Just a blank MIDI region. The thing is that I feel like over the last couple months Retrospective Record would randomly work and then not work again. I don't think it's a setting but maybe it is. I even tried a clean install of Pro Tools and when I loaded it back up, the first think I did was create a MIDI track and Retrospective Record DID work. And then as soon as I clicked around without changing any prefs and then tried it again, No luck! So this leads me to think there's something else wrong. Is anyone else having this issue? Configuration: iMac Pro (Late 2017) OSX Mojave 10.14.6 Pro Tools Ultimate 2019.10 with HDX |

Re: MIDI Record works but not Retrospective MIDI Record or MIDI Loop Record
I've not used this feature until now, but I just read the Reference Manual about it and tested. Seems to be working as described for me currently on 2019.12 with Quick-punch enabled (which should have nothing to do with MIDI), default thru instrument set to first selected MIDI. I'll try to continue testing it when I work.

Thanks for the reply. I've gone so far as to start service case with Avid.

Re: MIDI Record works but not Retrospective MIDI Record or MIDI Loop Record
confirmed, loop record with midi leaves you with a blank track :/

Re: MIDI Record works but not Retrospective MIDI Record or MIDI Loop Record
I'm having this issue with Loop record. my professor started having the same issue but i have't seen a way to fix it as of yet. super frustrating as it is a requirement of my assignment and will affect my final grade. I may need to open a case with Avid as well.

Re: MIDI Record works but not Retrospective MIDI Record or MIDI Loop Record
Avid support responded saying they can't recreate the error and asked for me to send them one of my sessions. They also asked me to look into the pro tools optimizations. I sent them back a session and directed them to this thread where multiple people have voiced similar issues within a couple days of posting.
I'm on version 2019.12 now. I've tried trashing my preferences and workspace preferences now as well. I'd like to try and go back to 2018 to see if it works properly there, but 2018 isn't compatible with Mojave, which is where I'm at now. If anyone has any workarounds for reactivating this setting that would be amazing. |

Re: MIDI Record works but not Retrospective MIDI Record or MIDI Loop Record
Here's a video of the issue happening in a new project, works on bar 1, but nowhere else it seems... warning may contain bad midi piano playing!

Re: MIDI Record works but not Retrospective MIDI Record or MIDI Loop Record
From what I can tell, this is similar to a bug I recently reported and it was marked and logged as a known bug/defect.
The problem is actually "Midi Merge". When Loop Record is turned on, Midi Merge automatically turns off causing this issue. Try this: Put record on normal and then turn Midi Merge off. Start recording or use Retro, you will get the same result.... no midi. Now, grab the empty midi clip and extend the end out around 10 bars. The midi notes you recorded will appear far ahead by a few bars. The only workaround is not to use Loop Record for the moment.
