Am I crazy? Can only hear sample when Cue'd

So I am tearing out the hair here. I can only hear a sample when it is cued. This is what I did:

I was doing my own ‘pickup machines’ experiment. I had the master on T5 and the slave on T6… following the ‘know-how’ video.

I attempted to record the second pickup machine T6, but I couldn’t hear anything. But if I looked at the waveform there was something there. I could hear it if I cued T6, but only then.

I could preview it in the sample browser, but only by Fxn+Cue, not Fxn+yes.

Wait a sec…

…yep…

The next track was a muted neighbor track…

Well, I’m glad I’m not crazy. G’night!
