Record issue (very new user..)

Hey there,
I wasn’t able to find a fix for this issue.
I have 8 Flex tracks all with the same record settings (it would seem) all sampling through AB. When I try to record on flex machine #8 it re-records over the sample every time I press play.

I would guess there is a very simple setting that I can’t locate.

its because a regular record trig remains active ie. recommences (buffer is cleared and re-recorded) recording each time the sequence loops. if you want a single recording pass you need a oneshot trig: go to recording setup and lay down the trigs with the function button pressed. the oneshot rec trigs record in the first playthrough and then are inactive when the sequence loops UNLESS you press the yes button - this rearms the trig.

Thanks! That’s the ticket.

I use oneshot trigs when recording, but what I can’t understand is why you’d have it any other way?
Why would you want to use regular trigs and keep overwriting your recording each time the sequence loops? I’ve never really understood why this would be an advantage. Unless it means you have a continuous record buffer of the currently looped sequence so you just need to quickly hit “No” to cancel the next record trig and keep the recording. Or have I missed the point?
