When looping/monitoring a record buffer is it possible to silence the old recording when overwriting?

Sorry, another looper type question from me…

I’m recording a loop on a Flex machine, the track playback’s assigned to the record buffer with a trig on step 1 so that it plays as soon as it’s recorded.

When I start recording another loop over the top of this the old recording is still playing underneath, so it’s playing both the new and the old audio until the end of the loop (then it plays just the new one).

Is there any way to set it so that the old recording stops playing as soon as I start recording the new one?

If you don’t use the flex recording for monitoring then you can microtime your playback trig. EDIT: maybe it actually IS microtimed, you should check, read next reply from @sezare56, he’s correct

If you overwrite a recording buffer you shouldn’t hear it, except with Pickups that can overdub.
What are you input sources? Any SCR3?
Only one track?

I thought it worked like that but I was hearing both parts when recording last night. It may well have been another track as I was trying out a few new things. Sounds like me being dumb here :slight_smile: I’ll test and report back.
EDIT: and yes just the one track on SRC1 so probs user error.

That’s a bit harsh. Maybe “100% User error 96% of the time”?
