Anybody know why adding a wav file to a new track affects another track that already has a sound file in it? [Solved]

[kday]

When I add a wav file to a new track it affects the other tracks and may cut or chop it in half. Adding a new file affects all the tracks and moving the file moves the other files in other tracks and also cuts them up.

Is there a setting or something causing it to do this and drag and affecting other files in other tracks? 

An example of what happens when I add a wav file to an empty track and how it affects the other track that has a wav file already in it below.  Could it be a setting or something else?

Thanks

It's because you've got Ripple Edit All active

Switch it off (blue rectangular box above the timeline)

Thanks brother, you're the greatest!  It was messing me all up. 

 

I have one other question, I'm trying to create a Mix template within the same program so i won't have to create two different templates with all different settings. Is there any way I can do that using may screenset, or a scene setting or something?  I want a Template with EQ, and another template without EQ and be able to switch between them, is that possible? 

I'm trying not to have to create two different Templates, any way i can create two different Templates without have to load a totally separate one? 

If you don't know, that's fine and thanks for the help and answering my question.

See the Mix Recall module. It can't change the content of a project, but it can the state and settings of EQs.

Thanks appreciate your help. Is there anything that can save the content configuration of a mix, and recall that configuration from the saved point?

Actually I undersold Mix Recall a bit; it can recall different bus and plugin configurations as well as their settings in addition to automation and more:

Hey Thanks for that!  Yeah I read it and it offers a lot of info that i didn't know. It's a very useful mix recall operation, but it doesn't save the actual buss configuration setup. But that's fine I'll just save the mix template and reload it when I need it from the desktop.

Thanks for all your help though!
