Clear DayCool, thanks Steve and glad i'm not the only one to experience this. Am sure it can be very tempromental on occasion. Perhaps i had forgotten to press F6 though thought i did. one of those things that need to make a habbit to do all the time. Thanks again.

I think Sonar sometimes is temperamental with recording, I've had situations where when I step record on one track, then go to step record on another, the new destination track doesn't always automatically move. When using step record, I always tab to destination track just to check it's the right one.

Deleting will do the trick for a work around but figure there must be something not checked that won't allow the track to be rerecorded on. thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Christer To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 7:26 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: not able to record over tracks Do you want to hear the previous take?

I put the system in the correct mode for rerecording a track but still appears to be doing sound on sound as still hear the previous track. Is there something else that I could have missed. Have recorded over a track before with no problem when doing exact thing but obviously something must be different. Any ideas?
