charles kasler Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 When I listen back to a project I'm finding some clips moved much further down the timeline than they should be. Ripple edit is always off, I make sure of that. Is there any other reason why this would be happening? It's probably user error but I don't know where to start looking for an answer.

Herky Acuff Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 You could check: Track View >> Options >> Drag and Drop Options >> is "Slide Over to Make Room" selected? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herky Acuff Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Darn - maybe someone else could chime in, or that you report it as a bug or something. Hoping for a solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Is it a case of jerky finger on the mouse slightly moving the clip when you tried to select it? Never happens to me. Nope. Edited July 20, 2023 by Terry Kelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles kasler Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Thanks that's something to be aware of but these clips are moving way down the timeline, several measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Have you got snap on and set to Snap By instead of Snap To? How are you selecting the clips when copying? If you're doing a time range, you might actually be selecting some blank space before the clip itself and it's inadvertently pasting that in and shifting the pasted clip down after that.

sjoens Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I thought I was just me. My current project seems to do the same thing but only by a few milisec. After hours of tightening up several audio clips, others would drift. Then I'd tighten them. The next day another track would go out of sync. Almost like playing the project repeatedly or splitting clips is causing it. Never had this happen before.... maybe on one other project recently, but that's it.

charles kasler Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Thanks for the responses. Snap is mostly off because this is dialogue with sound effects. When I opened the project I found some of the sound effects way further down the timeline and not with the words in the dialogue where they should be. It's still probably user error but I have no idea what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm wondering if this has something to do with Broadcast WAV files? What are you seeing in Preferences > File > Audio Data? Mine looks like this: If you have ticks in any of the Broadcast Wave options, take them out and see if that helps. I don't see how this could be affecting clips that have been copied and pasted in-project but it certainly would do for anything dragged in or imported.

rfssongs Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Are you moving items accidentally with the Arranger track ? Pretty sure this is user - and not a bug. Edited July 20, 2023 by rfssongs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Several measures isn't Snap. I don't think you can Snap that far. But Arranger moves is a good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles kasler Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 All good suggestions, nothing checks out. I'm not using arranger tracks on this type of project. My audio data looks about the same as Lord Tim except allow importing wave file cue markers, whatever that means. I had wondered if it's just not saving properly after moving clips around but at this point I think I need to wait and see if it replicates on another project. This type of project, dialogue with lots of intermittent sound effects is a very different workflow from music. I've been away from this for a while so it's very likely something I'm doing. All of your help is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginaldStjohn Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Make sure Ripple Edit All is not enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If you can get a screen recording of your workflow when copying and pasting a clip, I think that would help solve this pretty fast (or uncover a bug) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles kasler Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Okay thanks I will if it happens again. It hasn't happened when I'm copying a clip however, at least not that I'm aware of. It's when I reopen a project I find the clips have moved so I have no idea when it occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Ah, that's important information that discounts pretty much every suggestion in this thread so far! Are you doing any work on these clips (or any source files they're derived from) outside of CbB at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles kasler Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 No, everything's in Cakewalk. It's an old project that originally started in guitar tracks pro, wrk files I think they were, and then copied and a lot more editing in the current file format.

Never happens to me. Nope. I've had that, doing double click to open a midi clip, just moved it a bit, since snap was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
