Pickup machine won't play back

…or actually, it does, but I can’t hear it.

I’m following the tutorial in the manual. I record by hitting AB, and hit CD to start it looping. I can see by the counter that it is looping, but I can’t hear the loop. I can even go to another track and audition the recording buffer of the track I was on, and I hear my recording there.

Any ideas what’s going on?
( yes, I am an OT newbie!)

EDIT- just tried again on a fresh project, and it works the way it should. So what settings on my other project could be preventing me from hearing the loop play back?

Different settings in the Mixer in those projects?

On the mixer page, at the bottom of the display, muted tracks have a line, audible tracks an outline of a box.
The track in question has a solid black box- what does that indicate?

It doesn’t mention that in the manual, only line, outlined box, S or X. The LED for that track is red, along with all the other un muted tracks of the project.

I believe the black boxes just divide the 16 tracks into chunks of 4 visually, so it’s easier to see what is going on :slight_smile:
steps 1, 5, 9 and 13 are the start of each group of 4, naturally.

damn, you are right- I didn’t notice because several of my tracks were muted.

Thought I was on my way towards solving my mystery!
Oh well, thanks for explaining.
