Since I'm now recording all the parts of my songs on the Kronos I've run into something that bugs me. Say for example I record a guitar track. At the end of my session I save everything to disc before I shut down my studio.The next time I want to record on the track a dialog box comes up and says this file exists and won't let me record on it. Even if I erase it if I've decided that I want to change something

Here's the poop!
On audio track 3 I recorded guitar for the secound verse of my new song. The next day after I've loaded up the song and want to re-record over that track because I don't think it's good enough, the Kronos won't let me. So I have to mute that track and record on a new one. So now I have effectively lost a track. That's fine if it's only one, but the way I generally write I waste a few tracks and since I tend to use different guitars with different sounds for each part I'm running out of audio tracks quickly. HELP!!

Hi, Jeremy.

I've been mediating on this question because I seem to remember
having this issue before as well.

So, guess what -
Today I discovered something that might help us both...
I hope because I'm having an issue reduplicating it now

From the manual:

How audio data is stored on the disk:

When you save Songs to disk, they’re stored in an
.SNG file. This .SNG file contains all of the data from
Sequencer mode, including all of the Songs in memory,
except for the related audio files.
When you save an .SNG file, its related audio files are
stored in a separate directory. This directory is created
automatically, within the same directory as the .SNG
file. (It’s also created if you load a pre‐existing .SNG file
which doesn’t have a matching audio directory.) The
directory’s name consists of the .SNG file name
followed by “_A” (for “Audio”).
For instance, if the .SNG file is named
WAMOZART.SNG, its audio directory will be named
WAMOZART_A.

This main directory contains sub‐directories for each
song, named SONG000, SONG001, etc. These in turn
contain sub‐directories for each audio track, named
ATRACK01, ATRACK02, and so on. Within each of the
track sub‐directories, each individual audio take is
stored as a WAVE file.

If you intend to record several takes on the same
track, check the Take option box.

Note: If Take is unchecked, you will be able to enter
up to 24 characters as the file name. If it is checked,
you will be able to input up to 22 characters.

The number at the right of
Take No. will be input as the last two characters of
the filename.
This number will increment each time you sample,
ensuring that the filename will not be the same even
if you sample repeatedly.

What if you try and change the " Take No. " for the track you are trying to record over before hitting the record button and see if the Kronos will allow it now

That's a brilliant idea. I'll definitely give it a go. Thanks!
