I have had several projects where something gets messed up on my audio tracks. When recording multiple take lanes, I end up with two lanes that are both called "T1". One will be empty and the other has the clip in it. If I try to delete the empty lane, it will delete the other one instead, leaving me with the "T1" that has no clip. If I click solo or mute on one of the "T1" lanes, it puts that same setting on its twin.
If I create a whole new project, it works correctly, but adding audio tracks in the same project seems to have the same problem.
And maybe coincidentally, if I try to write automation into that track, it won't take it. The faders will control the level, but the automation is not recorded, even though the automation write light is on. Again, all works fine if I create a whole new project.
So it seems somehow the project has become damaged. This has happened to me several times and I cannot really correlate it back to something I did differently. Has anybody else seen this problem?
Also, how hard do you think it would be to open a new project and move all my tracks to that? It is only about 8 tracks, but I do have a lot of effects and automation and don't want to lose that. Is there some strategy for making a move like that?
