I can't speak for all of them, but in Ableton it's entirely possible to create a feedback loop. Although you'd have to be pretty dumb to actually get it that far. You'd have to route track A to track B, then route track B to track A, AND make it so that one of them sends to the master out, AND turn on input monitoring for both tracks. In practice, this'll (virtually) never happen, and it's quite a useful function to have.

That's kind of what I thought a possible scenario might be.


I agree, you have to be pretty obtuse to accidentally set up a loop like that... For most of us, we know better than to do that. Who knows, maybe CW will consider adding track-track routing in the future.

Why couldn't you just freeze and take the wave file you get, then unfreeze if necessary?

Though the OP from this old thread did not mention it, the goal of most users who want this feature is to be able to record synths in real time while tweaking parameters, some of which may be controllable only from the GUI as sharke pointed out.

Because they routh the output into a NEW audio track not onto itself. Jack audio can do this in sonar but setting it up is painful.

I understand it's a useful feature otherwise and I use it in Ableton. I was responding to this user specifically.

I'm just curios, which parameters do you need to tweak that are not recordable?
