If the problem is "the bed-track is not recorded with the voicetrack" ?

Meisterpropper has made a video of this. (Missing link at the moment)

He has a few mixerchannels for this: 1 for the mic 1 for the CW and 1 for VT.

The MIC and CW are both routed to VT. VT is set as input in Voicetracking. (Then you can also open CW in voicetrack-module)

In that way, any cart played during voicetracking is also recorded.

By default (except you set the option to place the carts as track insert events) only the tracks are PFLed during the voice tracking, but not the cartwall!
The reason is, that normally you record what you hear in that case. Ie. the playing cart needs to be recorded as well (and not just PFLed like regular tracks).

But if you need to also listen the carts in your PFL channel while they are in parallel recorded, you could do so using the SND2 function of the related output mixer channel. See the SND button at the bottom of the mixer output channel where the cart is played.
All this heavily depends on the environment and setup and where and how you like to PFL. Eg. customers using an external mixer often PFL directly at the mixer.

Seems to be working but somehow the vt and cartwall jingle is playing in slow motion. How do I fix this ?

Bernd,
Working now but volume from cart wall jingle is not loud enough.

ProppFrexx plays the tracks as you defined them (except you explicitly lowered its volume, either of that output mixer or the cartwall itself or you are using a general replay gain)?

Ok I put the gain up to 15 seems to help. Thanks.

What gain? In the VT dialog? That would also gain any voice recording? As said, I don’t know your setup, but it sounds, like you are recording from an external mic or mixer?
So from where do you record the cart signal?

The gain in the mixer display. Yes exernal mic which I think now its picking up the cartwall tracks in the background.
