Recording on sigle track

[wavesound]

Hi All
When I record in MB6 I use Shift Spacebar and record that way, it starts and arms the track.
If I mess up or want to hear the track I hit spacebar but now MB starts overwriting the track I have.
I used to be able to preview the new track just using spacebar.
How do I stop MB overwriting the track ?
I normally use shift spacebar to overwrite not just spacebar.

Hope this makes sense I've used shift and space bar so long now I keep overwriting stuff.
To recap:
I hit shift spacebar to start recording ( the track is armed already, record the track
When I go to Play it back to listen (spacebar only) MB writes a new track over mine?
Can I go back to using shift spacebar if I want to record the same track.
Cheers All
Bob

You have to remember to un-arm the track before you hit spacebar to play back. I think that's the issue here.

Yes but I didn't have to do this before. I'm sure.
global record is armed ( flashing) and if I wanted to record I would hit shift spacebar.
If I didn't I could play the track I recorded and not overwrite it.
Is this an Ardour thing? Thanks for the replies .

Yes but when the track is recorded and I want to preview it Space bar should just play the track and not overwrite unless I select shift spacebar.
Is this something changed in MB6?

Hi Yes I will have to do this, shift R is now my friend I must have been on auto pilot in the past.
