Chunk Mixing Issue

Post by crankygnomes »

I created two chunks, no problem; with those chunks I created a song, no problem. When I play a chunk, the mixing board works as it should, as does my MCU. But when I play back the song, the mixing board doesn't work, and in fact only displays levels in AUX tracks and the Master Volume; neither does my MCU work -- track names don't appear, though the vertical seperators do. I've tried both inking chunks and loading chunks. I use a Mac 10.4.11 Dual 1.8 with 4 GB RAM. A post elsewhere on this forum intimated that that might not be enough RAM, though I have no idea at this point. What am I missing?

Thanks.

The Song Window, while functional, is not a stopping place. Now, select the chunks in your Song Window, (you may want to choose a Conductor track first) then convert the Song back into a Chunk. Then you can edit it and access the mixing board, etc. In my perspective, the Song Window is a tool, not an end-of-the-line.

Perfect. Thanks, Sooshie. As you said, best think of the Song Window as a tool, not a stopping place.
