I've encountered a strange problem with a looping record and playback patch where the buffer seems to erase itself when you stop and then re-start the DAC. The simple patch below demonstrates my problem.

Is there a way to avoid this? I'd like to be able to record into a buffer like this, turn off the DAC, and then turn it back on and continue to hear my loop.

Yeah, something strange is happening... For me, it was looping as normal the first few times i turned on and off, but then the looping section within buffer kept shrinking. It was looping smaller sections each time i turn dac off and on. Don't know...

OK... so it's happening for at least one other person then. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

It seems to me like the recording is re-started everytime you turn on the DAC, overriding whatever is currently in the buffer. Is this a bug or a "feature"? Is there a workaround?

look at append mode and loop mode, both explained in the help...

Switching audio on/off is like sending a new 1...

This should help - just adding a bit more control of the 1(record on) ie turn that setting off (0) once recorded and whilst toggling audio

Another note to your problem: Never use the audio on/off toggle as 

performance control. There are always other ways to achieve what you

want to do...
Better do it clean from ground up...

Thanks for the help, Stefan and avantronica.... i've got it working now.
