ckacres Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I was working on a song and moving clips around. Everything was great until one point in the evening after about 8 hours work when I copied and tried to move clips I found other clips slipping around with another tracks edit. It became impossible to work because I tried to edit one track and others were being affected. It was a lot of work and Cakewalk has become so problematic for me that it could never be used in a commercial realm. Imagine working on a customer's hard work only to have one of many Cakewalks fails popping up and costing both time and money. The songs tracks have become so out of sort I don't know where to begin to put it back together. very frustrating and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like a classic case of... "Ripple editing" may have been left ON by accident. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I appreciate your help. Im going to be totally honest with you @ckacres ......I've done it before too . I forgot to turn it off and within a few minutes my project was deep sixed (Thank god for Undo). Cakewalk added a Ripple edit indicator light as part of an update/new feature several months ago. Because users were forgetting to turn it off. So you and I are not alone . A lot of us have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Maybe we should allow ripple edit to be a one shot action 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
