Lock the Conductor Track?

[frankf]

... The conductor track simply proves to be un-include-able: I'm unable to select it along with everything else, nor can I add it after the fact to the rest of what I've selected. I do believe I'm proceeding exactly has Frank has laid it out, but perhaps I'm missing something?

Command-Click the Name of the Conductor Track to add it to the selection made by clicking on the markers. Use Command-click in any edit window to add or remove tracks from a selection.

Aha! Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Time to revive this thread - I'm attempting to start a project from the beginning using the method outlined here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cbwmmTzGMk

Basically: create a new Song, create columns for your chunks, drag your chunks into the song, copy conductor tracks, merge markers, and merge chunks to sequence.

Go to new sequence, set chunk start time, and...nada. No waveforms are showing in the new sequence window, no sounds are playing back.

I actually got this to work, for a moment, but everything was out of sync - I suppose because I hadn't hard-wired my tempos into the conductor track but was using the tempo slider since each chunk was going to have its own tempo. When I took the stereo bus out of input, my rough stereo mixes would play back instead, in tempo. In order to rectify the tempo issue, I started over, but now I get the results - or lack thereof - as detailed above.

I know there are more recent threads recommending not to even pursue this approach because of the amount of work one could lose to a corrupted file. Point well taken, but I would like to at least like the satisfaction of getting this to work, even if it's not always the best idea.
