Thanks, lots of good stuff to try here now. I should mention that I’m recording directly from the OT:s main outs, so whatever approach I’ll take, audio goes out through those. I have a small mixer so if this really start to hurt, I’ll just use that.
I’m not sure that dedicating a thru channel will do the trick, since I think the Master FX track still affects what’s coming in. It’s like layering fx, but I’ll try that and see if it works.
But now that I’ve realized there’s no obvious easy fix for this, I’ve come to terms with it and instead structured which instrument plays what and shifted some performance ideas from one instrument to the other to not get around this, but make something else out of it instead.
Still, you’d think that there’s an off-switch for the Master track affecting audio in. If I remember correctly, the A4 and AKeys (though newer machines, so the comparison is perhaps not entirely fair) only applies effects to audio input if you want them to. On the other hand, I think it’s forced on the ARytm, so perhaps it’s a feature that requires much development headroom with little obvious gain.
