Audio clips dissappearing immediately after recording stops?!

I should point out that when the audio clips vanish like that, there are no audio files in the folder or picture cache; it's just like I never hit record even though I saw the clip getting drawn.

I have that often on the first time I record. I just remind myself to play badly. Oh, my bad, I play poorly anyway.

Once cause is attempting to record outside of an active region.

That's definitely not the case here.

It means do it again. You're playing below a performance quality threshold setting in preferences.

 
That's what I was trying to say ...

Where are you seeing this performance quality threshold setting in preferences? I'm looking at my daw now and can't find it for my life. Thing is I strictly remember now using that feature in X1 and when I had it set to "Michael Angelo Batio" none of my recordings "stuck."

Came across this old thread: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Solved-Recorded-clips-randomly-disappear-when-recording-stops-m2764221.aspx
 
It suggests deselecting "Allow Arm Changes During Playback/Record" under preferences.
 
Looks like having this option checked creates other issues... the same "fix" is suggested for the thread next to this one!

Hundreds of gigs free on drive so definitely not a write error. I had an audio clip vanish yesterday too and I immediately went and looked in the history and there was no undue and nothing in the audio folder, like it never happened. And recently I was recording two tracks simultaneously and one vanished and one remained.

For a while the clips were vanishing *every single time* the very first time I'd record, but then the recordings would stick thereafter. But now, after doing various stuff like unchecking that "allow arm during record" box and increasing i/o buffer currently @ 1024, the clips don't vanish the first time usually anymore at the moment anyway and now it's a more random but frequent thing.
I've been doing exactly what a guy in another thread who was having this problem was doing. He said he was using BIAS FX/AMP and saving instances of it as track templates and he was able to recreate this problem by not saving BIAS FX in the template; when BIAS FX was not saved as part of the track template, but added after the fact, his recordings stuck, but when BIAS was saved as part of the template they vanished - and this was all when recording onto the very track that was initiated from the template. For me these clips are vanishing randomly now, but not usually at the beginning anymore like they were doing, so it's hard to test if BIAS is the culprit in my case.

Next time this happens 😭 I will check the audio folder and history and cache again, but really this is pretty awful.

Well I have the latest rme drivers (still rocking the old 9632 for the moment) and where the clips where vanishing every time when trying to record the time, now that I've been messing w/ the i/o buffer it's no longer happening the first time, but just randomly now - so that seems to suggest that the i/o buffer has a hand in this somehow but idk. I'll run latencymon and see what that says. Currently my i/o buffer is @ 2048 for recoding and playback... should record/playback buffers be the same setting like that?
