Countoff not working / recording defaults to start of track
Hi everyone,
I've recently upgraded to PT 2020.12.0 (system details below) having successfully used PT First on a separate Windows desktop (i.e. I'm familiar with basic recording and editing procedures). I have two problems when attempting to record in PT 2020: 1. The countoff does not work, i.e. recording starts as soon as play is enabled. The loop function is off (suggested in previous thread on this subject). 2. Irrespective of where I place the cursor in a track, recording defaults to the start of the track, i.e. instead of picking up where I left off, it started overwriting from the beginning. I've tried to resolve these using the PT Help and guidance docs but not got anywhere - any help / suggestions very much appreciated! WINDOWS-PS4JPUS; Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz; OS build 19042.804; 32GB RAM; Windows 10 v. 20H2; Focusrite USB ASIO |

Re: Countoff not working / recording defaults to start of track
Hi welcome to DUC
This sounds like classic not having Options > "Link Timeline and Edit Selections" checked. |

Re: Countoff not working / recording defaults to start of track
And a few more things to remember:
1-Loop Playback will not work if any track is in Record-ready. 2-When in Loop-Record, Post-roll doesn't work(I wish it would) 3-You can set(in Preferences) to create a new playlist for each pass when in Loop-Record

Thank you! This has solved the problem of recording defaulting to the beginning of the track, but the countoff is still not working. Any further suggestions for this would be very much appreciated :)

Re: Countoff not working / recording defaults to start of track
Hi welcome to DUC
This sounds like a classic case of having Options > "Dynamic Transport" checked. |

Hi - no, Dynamic Transport is not checked. No matter what I try, recording starts when I hit 'play'

Re: Countoff not working / recording defaults to start of track
Can you post a screenshot of your Edit window showing count in/out markers, and all the transport controls area. Please trim that so it's not scaled when posted here so we can see stuff clearly.

You mean "Edit" window?
