Sometimes I record something, then go to place a red trig on beat 1 and that then starts to record over what I just recorded. I then hit the trig off and the audio is recorded in relationship to the length time. What is going on? How do I choose for this to happen or not to happen? If I record something I need to place a trig, right? Is there a source that explains this and if it is in the manual where is it?
Sorry to be newbie and I am honestly grateful for any help.
Hello, probably best to watch some tutorials on YouTube. Cuckoo is infamous for providing excellent hands-on tutorials with the Octatrack but there are several informative videos if you search. They’ll teach you the basics of sampling and how to use one-shot trigs (func + trig button) or pressing the record button and track number to immediately instigate recording.
Just practice several times with the different methods and you’ll get it in no time!
