Overwrite Bullying

Post by louisdufort »

Hi Motunation,

I had 12 audio tracks already mixed and wanted to create 12 new ones. To save time, I recorded enable volume automation on those 12 new tracks in the mix window, put them in overwrite mode and then press play so that I can create quickly a volume automation point at 0 db at the beginning of each track.

But after that process the volume automation on my other mixed track disappeared ! Those tracks were not record enable.

Looks like a bug, somebody can confirm that ?

Thanks

Louis

Sounds like it was writing automation to the soundbite, and not the track..

What happens if you use the merge audio command to make copies of the soundbites, and put those in the new tracks?
