Lost my sound...and found it again.

In a track.

Working in MC, on a "final mix". I did something..... don't recall what happened, but I was in playback and suddenly the lead vocal track went silent.

I traced the outputs and everything appears to be OK. The track meters are not indicating anything but I can see the wave forms.

I click on the track properties and the name is blank...also in the track view... I only see (Busy) in the clip view. in the other tracks that do play, I see >>  drums (21)(Busy) and so on....

I assume I did something (totally by accident BTW) to disconnect the audio clips from the project.... all on that one track and in about half a second with a bobbled mouse click.

In clip properties, I can click on Audio files tab and see a number of files, but clicking them does nothing.



I do have the original 4 tracks which all do play fine..... but I did quite a bit of editing and working in melodyne, so I would hate to have to redo this track from scratch. That is the final solution..... but I'm looking for the one that gets the track to play again first.

Anybody know what's going on here? Thoughts?

    never mind.... it was an envelope that was hidden.... BUT..I thought of that and did an unhide all envelopes, and nothing was displayed..... so....


    Anyway, I clicked on automation and inserted a new envelope..... waaaaa laaaa...sound again..... close call there... a bit scary.... OK... back to work ...break time is over.

    Glad you worked it out there Herb, just be careful that you don't mail them envelopes anywhere!

    the puzzling thing was they didn't "unhide" on me.

    problem solved.... tune is now posted in songs.

    Herb, as an alternate (for future reference), the envelope should show up in the event list for the track if unhide doesn't workd. Envelopes appear as audio shapes.

    MC4 - M-Audio FW410 / Behringer UCA202 - Fender Strat / Jazzmaster / DuoSonic / Washburn / Peavy Foundation M-Audio Radium 49 Roland Juno 106 / JazzChorus / Seymore Duncan Convertible - HP A1230N ( AMD Athalon 3800+ 2G Ram + 200G HD )
