Recording Disappears

+1

Sorry scook, wasn't trying to disagree with your post so apologies if it came across that way. I was just clarifying that I only get the problem when using normal recording rather than punch recording.

Happens to me all the time. Never figured out why. Always on the best take of course. 
 

Almost as annoying as having almost every post disappear on this forum.
 

It's happened to me on various occasions, too. No Punch Recording on.

I have not seen this, but not tracked in CbB in a while. Did this start occuring in a specific version (or ballpark time frame)?

I don't recall ever having that problem, and I hope I never do because I'd go nuclear!!  My voice is such now that I literally have to punch in line by line and I use PIPO a lot.  And just my luck would be to finally get a good take after 50 lousy ones only to lose that to a damned anomaly in the DAW.  Bakers, please work on that bug ASAP.

I am using punch recording for its intended purpose i.e. recording specific parts within a track that need re-recording whilst leaving the rest untouched.
 

Unless you are also the OP, this is irrelevant.

The "recording disappearing" I am talking about is like dahjah details. Punch is not in use and it generally happens once at the start of a recording session. You see the waveform as it is recorded but when you hit stop there is nothing there. Record again and all is fine.

Punch recording can cause the same symptom the OP describes. Your issue may be different. There are other suggestions in this post and similar threads you may want to research. Just because you claim to be using punch recording as intended does not mean the OP is (unless you are posting using both IDs).
 
It would be helpful for the OP to revisit this thread.

No we are not the same ppl either way it is happening. I have not tried it with the punchin recording, but it happened to me enough times while a vocalist is in here and i have to ask them to do it again, meanwhile that take was excellent.

a few things to mention for clarity -
Your .sig is correct
Do not start using Punch Recording if you do not already. It is just something to check because it often causes the problem. If you use loop recording and not punch recording it might be a good idea to hide the Punch Recording Module or at least move it away from the Loop Module. With unlimited tracks, I do not see a reason for punch recording. Recording on tape was different and punch was necessary.
 
Another thing to try is make sure "Allow During Playback/Record" is NOT checked in Preferences > Project > Record. This suggestion is from http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/2764221. Found the thread using a Google to search for
site:forum.cakewalk.com missing recording
There may be other possible solutions. I can't recommend search enough.

Possible reason:

If you are recording to a track and this happens, check to see if that track has multiple take lanes. It’s quite possible that one of those has the recorded take and that take lane may be muted.

I had exactly the issue described a few times and each time determined the above to be the pattern. It started when I manually edited some take lanes and combined various clips by moving them across take lanes (not a standard user approach perhaps).

Later when I wanted a duplicate of that track I unchecked the clips copy and was surprised to watch my new recordings “disappear”. Upon inspecting the take lanes I saw my recordings there.

A fix for cakewalk could be to avoid copying empty take lanes when you duplicate the track. I’m not saying this is definitely the cause, but it only started happening when I followed the steps above, and stopped happening when I removed empty take lanes before doing a duplicate of the track.
