    The DAW stops recording when the input stops in a MIDI track or when the transport stops for an audio track but you can drag the end of the clip as long as you want.

    thats not what i mean, i mean i was singing and i was cut off, i did a few tests to make sure that it was happening again
     
    the audio file literally does this
     
    "so say this is me singing and ill be in mid sent..." dragging it out doesnt fix this, the program seems to discard the rest of the audio that it trims off immediately, and this is annoying me, is there a way to make it not trim ANYTHING and just end the recording where i press stop, not at where it thinks the sound should stop?

    Probably a setup problem. Want to provide details about your hardware/software?

    when i do this in other programs it doesnt do it, i dont know what you mean, im using a Zoom Q2HD as a usb mic and an idk what brand CTK200 electric keyboard using MME 32 bit audio, i dont know much about details, i just know when i record the audio quality is beautiful, but its like the program is trying to clean up my audio by trimming and permanently deleting any excess when i dont want it to do any of that, i just want it to leave all of it, and let me do the trimming

    The software records whatever is input, it does not do anything to the data while it is recording. I am confused about your input devices. You are using a camcorder's microphone connected via USB and the audio output from a Casio CTK-200 connected to the computers built-in audio input? Are you trying to use them at the same time?

    casio by usb output to senheiser headphones zoom is not a camcorder its a mic with a camera in it basically, you can switch the cam off however it doesnt do anything to it while its recording when i press stop it cuts off the end of my audio, it just cuts off the end of the track, while im recording i can totally see it, and it just cuts it off and throws it away, its not the hardware its the software, its just cutting off the end of my track AFTER i press stop

    I am guessing the casio is sending audio and not MIDI? Is that correct?
    Are you trying to record both at the same time?

    Are you trying to monitor while that audio is being recorded? If so, how? USB microphones have a very bad history when it comes to DAW use.  The best solution is to avoid them and use the time tested solution of a microphone connected via a dedicated audio interface.

    Also, MME32 is the weakest possible driver. Could it be it's just handling the signal so slowly, that when you press "stop" the end of signal is still in process (I don't actually know, if it's possible)?
    Are you using the USB mic as your only soundcard or what is acting as your audio interface? Is there one in CTK200 (couldn't find CTK200 description in Casios site nor with Google)?
    If you are trying to use both the USB mic (which your computer sees as a soundcard) and, say, your  integrated soundchip, you're very likely to experience problems.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    THis could be caused by several things.
     
    What sound card and what driver mode are you using?
     
    Next, do you have AUTOPUNCH turned on? 
     
    I don't think I've heard of this happening with soundcards and drivers at the root of it but a factory (built in) soundcard is the worst possible sound device to use. Knowing what you use would be very helpful.
     
    Autopunch is designed to let you punch in and out at specific points to fix things in a track. Is it possible that somehow this is turned on by accident?  If it is, the thing you are describing would be the exact symptom of the punch out point being reached in the track.
     
    So... does it cut out at the SAME EXACT place every time?   TRY THIS...... insert a new AUDIO track and set it up to record vocals. Now.... set the time line to where you normally start. Record a vocal take. Does it also stop at the same exact place? If so, check for the auto punch and turn it off then try the recording again.
