Why cant I move my audio to the left?

[Ian Paul Hickox]

I can use nudge to make the audio file move left.

I can switch it up or down tracks. I can move it to the right as much as I want. But I cant make it move to the left via drag and drop and ive been stuck on the same part of thise song for over 48 hours because of it.

Update. It'll move left via drag and drop if I convert it to stereo and then back to mono. Don't have a clue why its working out that way but id love it to just go back to normal

That's bizarre. Have you tried closing Cakewalk down and then reopening your project?

[Ian Paul Hickox]

Yes. Second thing I've tried. Also it's super weird now. Because it turns out the issue is that I can move any audio clip where ever else I want to but that ONE spot. Wtf is going on?

Not sure if it’s related but just last night I was creating a tempo map and after I had this created I dragged the whole project to the right so the drum transient lined up with the grid lines. I then used drum replacer on the kick, dragged that to Midi and saw I had dragged to far to the right. I could not drag the project back to the left? I had to disable the regional effect and then it was fine. So just thinking you might have a regional effect active. Also if there’s automation this happens

So let's pretend for the sake of conversation that I picked up cakewalk like 2 weeks ago and have had no prior experience with DAWs. Like, purely for the sake of conversation that is.

How would I check to see if that one spot has a regional effect on it. Or check if I turned on automation. Also I appreciate how quickly the community started getting back to me. Thats really cool

Region effects are per-clip. If a clip has a region FX enabled there would be an RFX graphic in the top right corner of the clip.

By default, ghost data is enabled. If there is track or clip automation, the envelopes are slightly visible and in the case of track automation the track automation lanes button is illuminated.

Hell yeah. Problems fixed. I think I fat fingered something and didnt realize it until it was a problem. Idda started over if y'all hadnt come in clutch.
