After recording to a patch point or Aux track

The original tracks are likely still feeding it with Echo on thus causing the volume increase.

I may be misunderstanding the nature of the question because I haven't played with PP/Aux stuff yet...
 
But, if the Echo button on the target track (so the Aux track) is still engaged and the source tracks are still routed to it then it would make sense that you would get the input sound from the source tracks ON TOP of what you just recorded on the Aux track once you hit play. If you turn off Input Echo on the Aux track then the source tracks are no longer coming into the Aux track and all you hear is the recorded clip on the Aux track (which will be normal volume/quieter).
 
Kind of like if you had recorded a guitar track, left the input echo on then played the part again on your guitar WHILE the part you just recorded played back. It would essentially be two of the same thing being heard at once and thus increasing the volume.
 
However... as I said I may be misunderstanding the nature of the question or the nature of the new Aux/PP tracks themselves.
 
Cheers.

Ah... I see. That does sound weird. Almost like there is a sound signal leak somewhere feeding the Aux track or something. Maybe an effect on the source track or an unaccounted for send?
 
If someone can confirm it (and no functional explanation can be found) it might be worth reporting it to the Bakers. You may have found something undesirable.
 
You have however piqued my curiosity...
 
What are you doing that led you to send a live input through a track to be recorded into an aux track instead of the input track itself? I'm imagining various things (like multi mic'd amps or maybe you are just experimenting). Like I said... just curious. I'll hopefully get a chance to mess with the new routing stuff soon.

Beepster, One of the great things about the aux's and patch points you can now record through a plugin in real time. If you want to eq, compress etc. on the way in you can. For this reason I don't need to use Studio One.
 
As for the DB difference when turning on and off the input echo. I opened a project that has no aux's or patch points. Solo'd the bass track and turned the input echo on and off and got the few db differences so I don't think there is a problem per say but it's probably just that when you turn on input echo it opens up the channel or something which is I think normal.

I think your interface or external mixer must be feeding some signal back to the input or something. SONAR by itself will definitely not do that. It's come up in the past that some Focusrite interfaces bleed signal between analog output and input sections, but I would not have thought it would be that audible without causing big feedback. The complaint I've heard before is that users get a faint metronome click recorded in otherwise silent sections of a track.

I've never noticed any bleed in any of my tracks faint or otherwise. I also recall reading here about some Focusrite interfaces having this issue. I'll have to try some tests to be sure.
 
Thanks

What happens if you change the input to the Aux track to 'None', then playback and compare with echo/no echo?
 
 

Good catch Dave
