Upgraded to BIAB 2022 and that has solved the problem of not being able to record audio because of an error regarding the wav file.

Now faced with adjusting to update changes. Delighted to discover that this time I didn't have to update all my settings eg fonts.
However I now have three issues:-

The first two appear to happen randomly:-
1.The melody line of the song is not visible when I open the file and click on the notation button to change the screen from chord sheet to song with melody and chords(or occasionally it is)

2.My voice doesn't record on to the audio file - ie sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't depending on which song I'm recording on to.
(I am changing nothing else in between)

3. The sound quality of the accompaniment is weird and tinny...

For most of you I guess these are beginner questions! I'm not a techie and for years have only asked of BIAB that it records my voice over the accompaniment - I never need to use any of the bells and whistles.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Mac OS Monterey 12.6.4 BIAB 2022 (611)

Apple Silicon? Intel? How are you trying to record your voice?

Belated reply.... Intel. I have not been needing to use BIAB recently - apologies, but somehow I seem to have missed your reply..
I am using an external mic via a Caldigit hub and Macbook Pro. I sing into the mic using the record button and most of the time my voice records without problem over the melody.
Then, I open a new file - making no other changes, and this time my voice does not record. There is no green light next to "Audio" channel in the mixer. The word Audio in the record dialogue box is also white rather than orange. This may sound crazy but these are the only differences in Settings that I can see.

I am sure this is something glaringly obvious, but I can't work it out!!

Questions 1 and 3 now sorted. They were very basic solutions...
