There is no way to slip edit either end of clip that has fade in or fade out.
The NotSoSmartTool wants to adjust the fades, and will not allow me to slip edit the clip.
 
I have to remove the fades before I can slip edit a clip.
Anyone else notice this?
 
I should be able to place the cursor at the bottom of a clip and slip edit.
right?
or am I off my nut?
 
To test, split a clip and be sure there are fades where you split the clip.
Now try to slip edit and you cannot slip edit the clips once there is a fade there. The Smart Tool wants to edit the fade. 
Sonar X2.

Works for me. I see the slip edit behavior changes depending on where the mouse is along the edge of the clip. There is a slight change to the mouse icon and a small tick mark showing where the slip edit behavior changes.

What I have noticed is that if there is no space between the clips I cannot slip edit. The cursor remains the fade adjust no matter where it is located at the edge of the clip.
However, if there is a little space between the clips, it works correctly with or without fades are on the clips.
If the clips touch or overlap, then they cannot be slip edited unless the fade is first removed.
 
Hope the above made sense...
Currently trying to finish an album and keep checking the forum every few...
 

Yeah... it all depends on where your cursor is. I found that a little weird to work with in X1. One section will slip edit while moving the whole fade. Another will leave the top of the fade curve in place (making the fade shorter or longer). I think they changed some of that in X2 though so check the manual (I think some of that stuff has to be done with the header bar and smart tool but I haven't tried yet... I'm about to though).

Best suggestion I've got is zoom the track vertically so you have more area to activate the different functions. If the clip is too small it can be tricky to get the right function (which is why I hated layers). Cheers.

Oh... in that case try zooming out horizontally. Might help.

kevo, I followed your test plan before posting. It might be as Beepster said. Try to zoom out a litte. I did the test on a track. Should I have done it in a take lane?

I have noticed it if it is a tight fade I can't slip edit & yes it does get aggravating as hell. I have to either removed the fade or make it much longer to be able to get the mouse/smart tool to go to the slip editor.

Thanks guys!

It appears to be project specific.
It was really frustrating because it added a ton more work.
Anyway, I fiddled thru the project and got it done.

Tested another project and everything is working as expected.

Thanks again!

Hey Scoot!
I wasn't using Take Lanes.
 

Started work on a new album and have discovered that the problem is *not* project specific.

I've bumped the thread, and edited the title to "Not Solved" because this is an apparent bug.

Even simple audio track that has a fade in, or fade out cannot be slip edited unless the fade is first removed.

Is there a Key Combo that will allow me to force the cursor to change to the slip edit function?  At least this would be a better workaround.
