If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting that the typical use experience should be: 1. Start new document with default factory autoload. All instruments default to auto. 2. Arm track 3 for recording. 3. Hit record. 4. Receive confusing error message. "I'm sorry, what you're trying to do used to be simple, but now it's complicated. Here are the hoops you must jump through in order to achieve something basic and fundamental." If my understanding is correct, then basically you're telling me all this fancy new channel-diddling gee-gah has broken Rosegarden in a spectacular and embarrassing way. There's no way that's going out the door as a release. Having an instrument switch to fixed before recording commences is also a bad solution. What's the point of auto at all if you have to switch to fixed to record? Most people will never switch it back to auto, so everything might as well just default to fixed in that scenario. The only solution I can see is to allocate a channel when a track is armed for recording. Have the act of toggling the LED trigger this, so it's in place and ready to go when the user hits record. Bear in mind I haven't actually tested any of this yet, and my understanding could be off base. I'm just trying to figure this out based on reading the comments in both directions. I'm really going to try to sit down with Rosegarden later tonight and see where I think things are. Really. No promises, but I'm trying to steal that much time. -- D.
