I'm just getting my 2 x EDS/ 2 x C16 system back up and running after several years in storage - and I'm on XP, thanks to Mike Audet!

Everything has gone relatively smoothly, but now I have one small, strange problem - my Control 16's won't or can't record-enable tracks. I can enable them from the PC, and the right lights light up or blink on the C16, but it doesn't work the other way.

Feel free to tell me the answer's incredibly obvious, I'll gladly accept humiliation to cross this off my "Huh?" list... Very Happy

I found the record-enable on the C16 a bit tricky at first until I re-learned its "grammar". I was doing what seemed intuitive to me - holding the record enable button and then hitting the track select button - but it wasn't working consistently, if at all.

I thought it should be "I want to record enable (hold down rec button) these tracks" (hit appropriate "track select" buttons) - but it doesn't want you to think that, it wants you to think "I want these tracks (hold the track select buttons) to go into record enable" (hit rec button). As soon as I got that order right I never had another problem.

Thanks for getting back so quickly, Kerry. I think I was misunderstanding which button should be pushed. The "Track Record Enable" button doesn't do anything - it's the actual red record button - at least on my machine. Select the tracks, hit the red button, presto, all selected tracks are in input, and record-enabled. I can hit the little button marked "Track Record Enable" all night - nothing.

Was the red "record" button the one you were talking about?

Interesting!

Thanks again...

Yep, you got it - I can't remember offhand what the button marked "track record enable" actually does, but the one you really want to hit after holding down the appropriate track select button(s) is definitely the red "REC" button on your C16's transport.

Also might help checking in your config settings if you are using the standard C16 or C16PRO. The black C16's can still be set up as a blue(PRO) C16 and the track enable button is one that is different on that setting if I recall. There is a page somewhere in the newer manuals that tells the differences I think....some others are the view...data...etc.

Sandbox is right. When I have mouse and keyboard working yet the C16 doesn't respond to track enable it has always been fixed by C16 vs C16pro in the Paris config menu. I've got two black C16's. New v.30 software installs default to C16pro. Turn it off and you should be good to go.
