Question

Audio Track Playing in Waveform But Not Multitrack

Hello! I am editing a podcast with an audio file in the Host track and an audio file in the Interview track. When I started editing, everything was going fine, however, twenty minutes in, the Host track stopped playing audio, even though I can see the wave visuals -- the vertical bars do not move at all.

 

When I click into the Host file's Waveform, I can hear the audio fine. When I play the Interview track in Multitrack, that file plays properly. I can even scroll back and play earlier audio from the Host track in Multitrack earlier in the clip and it's audible, but Audition will not play any audio in the Host track beyond this twenty minute marker.

 

Thoughts? Ideas? I'm stumped.

Somehow you have managed to add a mute command to the multitrack timeline. One obvious thing to look at is the track volume control envelope - if this has accidentally been dragged down to the bottom of the track, then this is exactly what will happen. If you can't find what's actually causing this, then try moving the clips onto a different track, put the same effects onto it and use that instead.

Hi @SteveG: 

 

Thank you for your response! Yes, this is exactly what happened - must have been some accidental misuse of the "Silence Time Selection in Selected Clips" tool. That's what I get for editing while over-tired... 

 

Thank you again!
