Neal, clear as can be. You have the entire file selected, and when any part of 
a file is selected, record replaces the selection. So, you are effectively 
replacing the whole file with the last recorded segment. Just remember to hit C 
and everything will be fine!

Subject: [studiorecorder] Steps to recreate recording problems

OK, perhaps this is a strange thing to do, but this is what I did and what 
happened.

I recorded a file. I went back and deleted a part of the file, and then went to 
the end and pressed F6 after checking the status to see that I was at the end. 
I did this numerous times and it worked.

The problem occurred when ai did the following.

Since this was recorded as a stereo file but I was only recording in the left 
channel. I selected the total file, pressed control L to select the left 
channel, and pressed control D to copy it to a new file. I played a part of 
this file.

I then went back to the original file, went to the end, checked the status line 
and started recording. It put this last recording at the beginning of the 
original file.

I think I just figured out the problem. I tried the same steps again, this 
time. When I went back to the original file after doing the above mentioned 
steps, I pressed C to make sure nothing was selected. It worked like a charm.

So I believe the creation of that second file was not the problem. I believe, 
instead, that when you try to record a file which has everything selected, it 
will put the next recording of that file you make at the beginning and not at 
the end.

Of course, I could always record in mono and not have to do what I did to 
select the left channel and creat another mono file with it, but if I did that, 
I would hear both tracks of my mixer, one of which is silent and thus I would 
add the floor noise of that channel to the mono recording.

Rob, is this any clearer than mud?
