Am I missing something or is this not possible (yet)?
This auto-assigning is a really neat feature but if you can’t record directly
without manually assigning (and afterwards unassigning) inputs, that leaves something to be desired.
Ooh, what a silly bug 😳 . I assume you are talking about auto-assigned audio inputs. Apparently I have only ever tested recording with auto-assigned MIDI inputs. Auto-assigned audio inputs do not record. Fixed for the next 2.07 release.
