Audio track trimming not allowed

Post by sajjadalam6 »

Hello All -

Need some help. Still learning on how to edit audio tracks and as I am working on one, noticed that I cannot resize audio tracks horizontally (left or right) or extend a particular audio take timewise...the cursor options indicate that the function is not allowed (a stop sign type). But I know I was able to do all that on a different audio track in the past by default.

Any help on this would let me get back to work.

Thanks guys.

Sajjad

Could be a sample rate issue. Be sure the sample rate of your audio matches the sample rate of your session. RC

The project was recorded at 48K and I used the soundbites sample coversion to bring it down to 44.1. Now the sample rate value on DPs control panel is constantly flipping between 44.1 and 48 kHz.

I checked the soundbites window and it shows that all tracks were successfully converted to 44.1.

Not sure why DP is still confused.

Any thoughts?

Thanks -

I think it's confused because you've converted all the audio to 44.1k and left the session set to 48k. Just change it to 48k in the session sample rate box and all will be good.

Have you selected anything other than soundbites in the track dropdown menu? If it is selected to display volume or anything else it will not allow edge editing

kind regards
