I raised my own ticket with Line 6 to confirm it affects Ableton, and their response confirms the workaround provided by Silverhead: This is a bug with the additional USB audio busses (all after 1/2) -The workaround is to have a track or tracks with the "previous" USB busses armed in addition to the other USB outputs. For example : -USB 3-4 and 5-6 will not record without USB 1-2 armed, USB 7-8 needs to have all previous USB tracks armed in order to record in the DAW -this will be fixed in a future update -but we cannot provide any timescale for firmware updates and which fixes will be included in the next update Best regards Line 6 /Ampeg Support Europe

OK, thanks very much for your help.

OK, thanks for getting back to me. I have a sort of workaround whereby I add an extra (empty) path to my Stadium Preset, with the Input Block set to Instrument 1 and the Output Block set to USB 1/2 (with Global Ins/Outs for USB 1/2 changed to Direct Out). This lets me record a DI track from the empty path, while monitoring with the effects on the other path (Output still set to Matrix). I then change the USB 1/2 settings back, and re-amp immediately to get an initial version of a 'wet' track. This does seem a bit of a 'miss' though. There is a whole section of the manual dedicated to using USB7 or 8 for direct out in parallel with a stereo effected output on 1/2. It surprises me that there isn't more reference to this issue when I search for it, which makes me wonder if it only happens with specific use cases. Do you have any feedback from Line 6 for your bug report on either the scope of the issue (does it really affect everyone, or just particular DAWs etc), or the timescales of a fix? Thanks again, H

I have the same issue but in Ableton Live, and the workaround doesn't work for me - I already had a track armed for 1/2, as I wanted to capture both the DI and the effects on separate tracks as described in the manual. The effected track from 1/2 records fine, but there is nothing on the DI track from 7. I have checked the Global Settings>Ins/Outs has 'Re-amp Src Out USB 7' set to Inst 1, and my guitar is plugged into Instrument 1. Ableton's Audio settings are using the ASIO config, and 7&8 are set up for Mono inputs. Input Channel is set to 7 for the DI track.
