@Noisy Neighbor. Thanks for posting. I am indeed working with lanes. Okay... maybe I'm not going crazy. Oof. I was hoping to have all my slip edits and fades done by now. If this a bug it's a pretty annoying one. If it's some weird default setting it's very strange and confusing. Cheers.

Sorry for late reply, I needed some sleep....

...some additional info: I recognized this issue in a largely project, originally created in X1. I'm currently working on a new project created in X2 which has only a few tracks yet. Here it works as expected. (so far) 
 
have a creative Sunday!
    

regards,
Daniel

Thanks, Carl. Gonna have to learn the virtues of the Mute tool I guess. Not used to doing things that way. Not sure how I'd do fades and stuff but I'll check out the vid and keep reading.

For now though I think I've figured out how to avoid this. I'm gonna start locking my tracks when I'm not working with them. Hopefully that will keep the wackiness from occurring. Again X1 Power to the rescue on this one. If anyone wants to know how to do this:

Select clips to be locked > Open the Inspector (I) > Click "Clip" button to open Clip Properties > then select Pos/Data and it will lock the position and settings of the clip. 

I haven't tried it yet but I think this might work. Cheers!

@Noisy... This project was started in X2 so unfortunately I can't blame it on that. Cheers.

...it was just a thought, Beebster. 

Anyway there are more and more little inconveniences coming to the surface in X2, that make me 
wonder if it's me or are they bugs. I think I just wait for the next update/fix/build and see what gets solved and/or what I've learned in the meantime.
Other than that X2 runs nice and solid here and I love most of the new features, but I have to say 
my workflow got a bit slowed down at the moment, mostly because of the take lanes (..using Sonar since ver.7).

... and b.t.w. Sott, (got X1 Power,...really helpful!)

are we all using the beta version and the final shipping version of X2 is still to come??? ;)

("...the book will be based on the final shipping version of X2 and not the beta version. I want it to be as accurate as possible...")

Sorry, the suggestion was appreciated. Didn't mean to sound dismissive. Just letting the thread know it was a an X2 adventure from start to... well it's current state. 

Anyway, I just locked all the other tracks and I really think this is going to work. Wasn't too much hassle. I just clicked the folder group select, opened the inspector, pressed Clip then hit the "Lock" menu and selected Pos/Data. Even if I didn't have this problem it seems like a good habit to get into anyway to avoid screwing things up (especially when I've had a few barley pops). We'll see how it goes. Cheers, all.

Hey Daniel,


Thanks very much! I appreciate it and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the book.


Ha! Yes, I have the super secret final SONAR version that has absolutely no bugs at all. It's really amazing!

Locking the tracks/clips is working very well so far. Cool feature.

Yeah, that carbonation can really mess with you...
