DP won't let me arm a track in Track view, but it allows me in Sequence view.

Post by wwzeitler »

When I'm in Track view, sometimes DP won't let me arm (enable record) a track. It just blinks at me and stays in the unarmed state. But if I switch to Sequence view, I can arm the same track without any trouble. Switch back to Track view, and there it is — armed.

The workaround is of course to use Sequence view. But inquiring minds want to know: is there a rationale to this?

I have not experienced that behavior, and I generally arm tracks, MIDI and Audio, from Tracks Overview.

Sounds like "Wait" (p.222) is enabled.
