Conductor track question

Post by dazzjazz »

Hi,

Often I will make a selection by clicking on a Marker in the sequence window - selects to the next marker which is very handy. Just no, all I had visible in the Sequence window was the Conductor track - in this situation, my selection method doesn't work.

Why is that? I was inserting some tempo changes and was trying to copy them.

Thanks

I can't say why it works that way, but can offer a workaround.

When you click the marker, DP will select the area from there to the next marker, as expected. You simply can't see it if there are no other tracks. Then, in the sequence editor window, click the track name (Conductor) in the left-hand panel of the track (the track itself, not the track selector panel). The desired area will become selected in the conductor track. This also works in the Tracks window.

It's one more click, but will get you what you want.
peace,
