Thanks Rob. That makes sense.

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!

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? Neal
