CD Architect question: locking tracks to prevent accidentally moving them

I only know of locking links & events. What are you trying keep locked- cross-faded or no gap tracks?

Do you mean you split the cross faded track into 2 tracks & need them w/o gaps?

If so you can set the project to no gaps (0:00) & in the timeline title area where you have a space rt+click then select 'set to default pause time'.
Just make sure the track/ region are both selected.

I think this might be close to what you're looking for.

Yes, that's actually what I did. Here's the whole process:

1. Performance recorded all on one set of files (separate tracks for each instrument plus an audience track)
2. Separated individual songs from the raw files into separate projects
3. Mixed each song individually, adding ambience because everything was recorded dry and direct
4. Exported each finished mix into its own 32-bit wave
5. Imported finished mixes into a new project for the CD compilation
6. Slip-edited and slip-faded each clip so that there were no gaps between them
7. Exported the whole thing to one big 16-bit file
8. Opened the big wave in CDA, put in markers for each song and split them into individual tracks

It all worked out pretty well. When you listen to the CD it sounds like a continuous performance, when in reality the 60 minutes of music was actually recorded over a 3-hour period. False starts, chat between songs, tuning up, drummer fiddling - all removed in the editing so it appears as if we were well-rehearsed (which we were not!). Some songs required 2 takes.

My discomfort with CDA is there appears to be no way to lock tracks to the timeline so they can't be accidentally nudged out of place. Hence my question.
