The tempo of the file is different to the current DP tempo.

Re: Red Lines on Audio File
But not always! There is a bug in DP 6 that I've seen where these lines can appear at random for no reason. Hopefully it will be fixed next update.dazzjazz wrote:What do these vertical lines mean/indicate?

Re: Red Lines on Audio File
Oh... didn't realize that. Well if you're on 5.13 what it means is that somehow the tempo has changed since the soundbite was recorded. For example if your sequence is playing at 120 bpm and you record some audio, you can select the soundbite and then choose "Copy Sequence Tempo to Soundbite" and the tempo information will be "imprinted" on that soundbite. This may happen automatically, I'm not sure. Then, just to try it, change the tempo of your sequence by moving the tempo slider. Red lines should appear to alert you to the fact that your tempo no longer matches the tempo of the soundbite. You can override that, by selecting the soundbite again and choosing "Copy sequence tempo to soundbite" and it will reset it with the new sequence tempo.grouse wrote:Oh, I see. still on 5.13 here.
That's probably not a very good explanation, but I'm not in front of DP right now and I'm wingin' it.

Re: Red Lines on Audio File
James is right, as well as that version 6 seems to introduce the red lines in situations where it shouldn't.
I may be wrong on this, due to DP 6 issues, but I think the red lines also appear when you drag an audio file or use the shift command to maybe move it ahead or behind from where it was recorded. I sometimes have to do this if a plug-in didn't handle latency properly, or if the chosen instrument source has a natural tendency to delay it's attack (at least as psychologically perceived -- especially pads and certain strings).

Re: Red Lines on Audio File
Mmm, unless I'm missing something really obvious, it would seem that the annoying 'red line' soundbite tempo bug in DP6.... has not been resolved in DP7!
This has been driving me nuts.
Am I missing something? edge editing a soundbite, recorded in the session (at the session tempo) still produces this off-putting graphic.
Oh dear, oh dear....
