Today's Stupid Pilot Error: Input Echo Ooops
Every now and then I like to mention something really stupid I did so others don't have to make the same mistake.
After a hiatus from recording due to a vacation, I returned to recording in SONAR and set up a guitar track from my favorite guitar track template. It sounded exactly as expected. I wanted to practice along with the track, so I hit play and...no guitar. It was as if it had been muted.
Perplexed, I did the usual: close the project and re-open, close SONAR and re-open, re-boot computer. Long story short: Before leaving, I was doing a mix but had lots of input echo buttons on because I was still doing overdubs. The mics were picking up noise and the guitars were picking up hum, so I went to Preferences and under Audio, Playback and Recording, checked "Disable Input Monitoring During Playback" so I wouldn't hear the open input garbage while mixing.
But I forgot to uncheck it afterward, hence the problem when I came back to SONAR and couldn't hear the guitar...input echo was still being disabled. So, add this to your list of "stupid mistakes not to make."

Actually not enough. But seriously, you know how it is...you get away from software for a while, and you forget some of the tweaks you've done and not undone.

Whew. It's a huge relief to me that even guys like yourself do these kinds of things too.

I didn't even know that was a choice.

hah. I took a couple years off for a variety of reasons and forgot 80% of what I knew. And I haven't had a margarita in ages! Getting old is not for sissies.

I hope I never have to learn what 'input echo' is.

With respect to audio you won't have to, as long as you don't want to hear an instrument you're playing live into SONAR through plug-ins.

I had a good one. All set to record guitar with a midi drum track. Hit record start playing ... odd drum hits occurring throwing me off in a big way... Brain hurts, try again, same thing. Drums play fine alone?? Did just update Sonar??? Long story short, my audio interface also does audio-to-midi, the midi drum track was selected, and input set to omni! Dos cervesas por favor... Once I figured it out, I started jamming drums on my guitar. Who needs a drummer anyways. Oh ... I do!!!

HA! I just did the exact same thing on Protools the other day. And guess what?? You cant undo that...at least on the version of ptools I was working on.

Sweet. More than once I've done the opposite and deleted an entire project!
