Hello members of this fine community! First time poster here…
I figured out how to setup tracks with recording buffers to play my live set using external instuments played into the octatrack and then sliced and processed live. But I am not sure if the way I have set it up is efficient, and am running into problems when trying to bring in other instruments. Here is my setup:
Guitar running into input A
Track 1: thru tack - this is the audio source from guitar, have my recording channel set up. I place a recording yello trig down to play in my instrument. Rec settings Input A, TrigOne, SRC:t1, Loop: off
T2: flex track - no input, SRC: T1 (My thru track), recording buffer set to REC1
With these settings I essentiall have t2 listening to t1, so after playing my guitar, I can then place playback trigs on t2 to start sequencing and playing fx and all that fun stuff!
So now I want to do overdubs without deleting what I have already made? Do I need to set up t3 as a thru again and then t4 to a different recording buffer? Or am I wrong in thinking that I need a thru track for each recording track? So confused, the manual was unhelpful for this and tbh I figured this all out with chat gpt. Hoping to get some real human advice!
Thank you
