No, Tommy, I am singing the harmony lines into a RB track like any other overdub. In 2 previous songs the BGV was sent to me as WAV files and on those 2 songs I had no issue, nor have I had this happen before. Every troubleshooter's nightmare - inconsistent problems.

Harv, no, the MOTU stuff went away when I bought the control surface. Once the software issue was patched and I was able to do what I wanted, it quickly became cumbersome to be running cables for every session that called for an equipment change. Now everything runs through a 24 point patch panel, stays in software, and I just need to plug in jumpers.

And where would audio output hardware enter this equation when I am exporting data? I mean once the tracks are there, in theory I could totally detach the M-Audio. It's work is done. The step where the issue pops up is software dump/merge to a file.

Puzzling indeed.

I think RB is saying "Send it to The Bluebelles!"

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.
