Octatrack transition trick without looping external input

Elektron Gear Octatrack

Hey Octapros <3

I want to be able to do the OT Transition Trick without looping my M:C, that goes into Inputs A B.

I’m not using a thru machine for M:C, it’s just turned up A B Volume on the MIX page.
I’d prefer to not use T8 as a Master track, since I’m using outboard gear after the OT anyways.
If it’s better to use T8 as a master it would be worth it for that looping purpose.

What’s the best apporoach to do this? I’m sure it’s possible.

I believe you would have to use a Thru machine if you want to be able to capture and loop any of the inputs. Turning the volume up in MIX (and I assume you’re doing the DIR in MIX) you are just direct monitoring those inputs.

Also, if you want to capture internal sounds to loop, you can use SRC 3 in the recording setup and set that to a track or to CUE. For the latter, anything being sent to CUE would be captured. So, you can select which tracks you want to loop for transition.

Of course, CUE :sweat_smile:
Thank you. Will use my OT in Studio Mode from now on.

Of course you can record without using thru. Via rec setup
