in one section of the track
Volume is missing in a section of a track where the file and the volume envelop are both normal. A nice fat wav file with a section creating only faint volume, the volume draw is normal and unchanged, it does rise as if “fade in” is applied. It happened with out me doing anything to the track. What can cause this? The file is ok at about -8.db and played normally the last time I played the song. Any ideas?
Did you possibly alter another tracks volume envelope?
I have had a few instances where changing one tracks envelope changes another.
Usually I am zoomed in on the track I want to change and dont notice the other gets
changed until playback.
Could be both tracks are selected?
Yep usually an unnoticeable
hightlight covering multiple tracks.
BUT if that where the case the string would be down in the area in question.
But in my case the string wasn’t drawn down.
That was the weird part.
The wav was fine, and the draw string was at 0vu, it should have played.
I imported the file again and bypassed the prob.
In fact if your new to nTrack.
If you hightlight and copy from a troubled track you copy the trouble, and continue with the prob.
So I imported the file into a new track, copied the part I wanted and pasted good over bad.
Didn’t want to re’eq, all’s well that ends well!
The only thing I can think that possibly caused this would be an aux channel send that I didn’t notice.
I didn’t see that option on the drop down selector but the list looked different today, so maybe I removed that option without noticing.
I’m sure it’s nothing serious.
have you looker at the MASTER volume settings (blue line) i may be wrong but i think that N generated an XML file that containd all the song settings - if that is corrupted then you will get very strange things happening -

Corrupted is kind of a harsh word isn’t it Magic? How could one affect the master volume settings without ever calling on the blue lines? Is that possible?

Well now that you've mentioned it, it's all gone to the dogs.
N track seems to degenerate with time.
It's amazing how much time I spend trying to work out the problems ntrack throws at ya. And interestingly most of the problems crop up just as I'm finishing up on a mix.
It’s a love hate situation with N, sometimes it gets to be a bit of a drag. I removed duplicated tracks and nTrack started working ok again and I was able to finish my song. I used some of n’s effects. The multi tap delay is real interesting. A little free amp 2 gave my bass some punch. Done.
So, was the problem a master volume control setting? Was the sng file corrupt?
The song wasn’t corrupt and the master volume draws where in their original positions. I don’t have an explanation for what caused the volume drops, nTrack didn’t seem to like duplicated tracks playing.
I did find by accident: with no highlights and nothing on my computers clipboard; while the song is playing, if you click the paste icon the song will start over. I discovered this phenomenon after the song was repaired.
