Documentation Correction

Hi all,

I was perusing Sonar X1's Help for assistance with Record options and noticed the following:

Note:  The Mute Previous Takes option has no effect during loop recording.

In my experience, this is not true.  When this option is enabled, it offers two benefits:  First, any pre-existing clips are automatically muted when recording is initiated - an indispensable feature, especially if you employ a remote control surface from an isolated sound booth.  [Without it, you'd be running to/from the control room to mute prior takes / clips.]  This is true whether recording in loop mode or not.  Second, when loop recording, prior takes are indeed muted until recording stops.

[For the record, I do set my loop points inside the designated punch points to prevent Auto Punch from affecting my pre-existing clips.]

When the option is disabled, those benefits are lost.  Am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks, Brundlefly.

I figured "takes" to be synonymous with "layers" or "clips."  Makes more sense now.

So, it might be better to say, "Note:  Disabling the Mute Previous Takes option has no effect during loop recording."  Just a thought.
