What you are trying to achieve:
You are trying to pass the previously recorded track of MIDI
controllers into FaderMaster Pro.

Then, use the faders to edit (modify) the previously recorded
track of controllers, usually by punching into and correcting
the fader moves.

You will then end up with two tracks (at least) of controllers.
The original track and the new track which is a modified
version of the original track.

You then have the freedom to keep the original track, or
discard it and keep the modified track.

What you want to avoid:
You want to avoid creating a MIDI loop.

If you do not take extreme care with which sequencer tracks
are play enabled, and if you have no MIDI input filter, and if
your sequencer’s THRU function is turned on, really bad
(time-eating) things will start to happen.

You may (at least) end up passing the entire sequence (notes,
after touch, etc.) through the FaderMaster Pro and re-recording
it all on one uneditable track, wasting huge amounts of your
sequencer’s memory.

Or you may (at worst) create an infinite MIDI loop, forcing you
to pull MIDI cables and re-boot your sequencer to get
everything calm again.

Refer to the suggestions at the beginning of this chapter to help
clean up a situation like this.
