Peculiarity with Cubase

[Kevin Deschwazi]

I use SE.

Whenever I go to record a new song I will set up however many tracks I need and arm the 1 or 2 i intend to use for the initial instruments/voice to be tracked.

When I hit record the first time nothing is recorded, the tracks run in the sequencer screen but there is no signal going into the tracks. When I press stop, those tracks disappear off the screen except I can just see the very end of these at the beginning of the song so I can delete them, hit record the second time around and everything works fine.

It's not a great problem because now I'm just used to clearing this out of the way and carrying on as normal but I'm really curious to know why this happens and if I can get rid of it.

Sorry if I didn't explain it too well.

I am not sure if this is the same thing or not, but:

I use 2 soundcards with SE: a Tascam US-122 for tracking, and my internal soundcard for mixing. When I switch the Output from one to the other, I get silence initially (no sound output from either source). I have learned to just hit play and let it go for a couple of beats. Then, when I hit stop and it goes back to the beginning of the track, it resets the output to my new selection and everything works peachy.
