New Saved Time

Post by blueslash »

Everytime I setup a "New Saved Time" it's not getting stored properly. The Start and Stop points get randomly shifted earlier.

Ex. If I want to store a loop from bar 2|1|000 to 16|1|000 as soon as I hit Ok to confirm the Name, it randomly shifts Left, in this case it stores it as 1|4|464 to 15|4|464.

Am I missing something here? or am I in glich territory.

Anyone else have this problem?

It's not a glich, turns out I needed to change the Time Format to Measures, it was set to TC. I wouldn't think this wouldn't matter because it should still save the selection, but as TC instead of measures.

Just leaving this here in case any other newbees come across this problem.

Glad you found a solution

I believe what's happening here is that, when in TC mode, the saved time is going to save to the nearest frame boundary, which is often not on a measure boundary.

Agree, though, that it can be a bit confusing!

Sounds like you're right. Strange way of setting it up, it should save whatever is selected. Played properly when selected but changed when saved as a "saved time".

Live and learn. Some strange concepts, but I'm gettin' used to it.
