Snip and Conductor Track Problem

Post by JLEpperson »

I took an audio file and found the beat, then did a seq to audio tempo. That worked ok, but now I need to edit/cut out some measures. When I do this it throws the tempos off and it's no longer with the click. I tried cutting and pasting conductor/audio file with the same issue. Any suggestions?

So I take it you made a time-range selection with every single track, including the conductor track i.e., by making the selection by dragging at the top of the TO window, made a snip, and that made things lose sync?

If so, and providing you did it correctly, that's bad news and could be a symptom of the problems I've been whining about for years about timeline edits VS automation and Conductor Track behaviour that many people around here seem to think it's not important or not important enough.

Now that you're doing edits and timeline manipulation, I REALLY HOPE you don't have lots of automation and tempo changes in your project.... Believe me: You will NOT like the results or have any fun editing cuts... :mrgreen:
