track selection not working...

Post by DJeff »

HI guys,

I'm having this weird problem, I don't know how it happened or what I did, but the track selection is not working anymore. When I try to select a track, all the tracks get selected...
I have that issue in all the windows. For example, if I want to change the color of a particular track, all the tracks get changed... It does that when I try to select using the "track selector" window or within any other window.
I thought it had to do with the "track folders", because it's as if all the tracks we're part of the same "track folder". So I removed all the "track folders", but still the same problem...
Strangely enough when I open another project everything works fine. So I know it's not the preferences... Although I trashed them earlier just in case.
Is there any project specific's preferences that I might have turned on by accident?
I'm on 10.4.11 using 7.2

Thanx

ps.:I'm at the mixing stage of a project that needs to be done by Friday... I'll hit the panic button soon...

You probably have Temporary Grouping on. Control Option Command G will turn it off. Otherwise go to Track Groups or Modify Track Groups from the Project menu to straighten things out. You may have created a group by accident.

Yeah, that did it... Thanx a million, but how did the tracks got grouped in the first place?... I don't remember doing anything with the Group function...
Unless it has something to do with somebody using that funny tobacco in the studio last night...
It's the first time that I run into that issue. I feel a little stupid for missing something that obvious.

Thanx again MidiLifeCrisis

Double-tapping "w" will group all that's visible. Single tapping will revert. Holding it will temporarily group.
