Track split and crossfade default changes in 2023.09 (Solved)...

[dantarbill]

I'm not sure if some default settings got changed with the 2023.09 update, but I'm seeing new and unwanted behavior...

When I split a track (with "S"), typically the left side of the split is selected.  So, if I subsequently hit "K" to mute the selected track portion, it mutes to the left.  Now, it seems that neither is selected, so you have to explicitly select one side or the other.

Also, the default crossfade (Options/Crossfade Type>Default Fade-In/Out Curve settings seem to now be completely ignored.

What happened and how do I fix it?

(I just checked Preferencess/Customization/Editing/Clips Selection after single split:.  It's set to "Left Portion (default)".  This strongly suggests that something in 2023.09 got broke or regressed.)

I just checked and this behavior existed as far back as 26.05.0.039 {2020/11} on my systems, so not new in this version. [anyone else confirm?]

On my system, this is saved in the project template, [not globally]  and recovers correctly, depending on the template loaded and the preset fade type.

Here it works as ever in version 2022.11 (build 21), i.e. if I select a clip and split it, then the left portion is being selected!

My settings: Auto Crossfade = off and Crossfade Types = Linear

It's a config setting:

Ctrl + S for Split?

That's always been used for File Save on every single piece of software I own

Split, for me, has always just been S

Or right click your clip and select Split for more options

or ALT+Left Click

What I'm saying is that the config setting is getting ignored by 2023.09.  On my system, there's currently no way to change the default behavior of Split or the Crossfade behavior.

Sorry...you're right.  It's just S for Split and K for clip mute.

I'm on 2023.09 since the Release Candidate came out, and the config setting <Editing><Clips> operates perfectly on my machines.

I've checked and rechecked...

Any settings I make in "Selection after single split:" do NOT change the default behavior.  It always acts as if I have "None" selected as the default behavior.

Same is (was) true for the "Default Fade-In Curve>" and "Default Fade-Out Curve>".

Ah HA!!

I found it!

The problem was that I had "Auto Crossfade" selected.  That caused what I'll consider unintuitive behavior where it applied the Crossfade defaults when I split.

I'm not sure if I had changed the "Auto Crossfade" selection or that behavior had changed with the new update...but I'm back in business.
