i've been working on a tune, and had this new synth line in my head for it. i head down to the bassment to record it. i connect the laptop to the tascam fw-1884 via firewire. the 1884 has my drum maching and sound canvas (xv-3080) connected to its midi output ports.
for some reason, the midi won't play.
i'm checking cables, i'm turning the 1884 and the laptop off/on, i'm checking the cables between the 1884 and the external gear.
turns out I had the LOOP feature turned on with the start and stop points both set to 1:01:00. Cakewalk should pop up a modal dialog box when the start/end points are the same to keep dumb*sses like me from wasting time when they have a creative moment.
