Mute button automatically turning on through-out track

Report · Mar 24, 2017

Hi.

I am currently working on a multitrack project and recently while playing through the timeline a couple tracks automatically turn on the mute button at different times in the timeline. When I turn off the mute button, to start playing audio again, it turns itself back on later down the track. However it seems to remember where I have unmuted the track, so now when I play it through the mute button keeps flicking between on and off.

I'm assuming there is some kind of track option that let's you remember where you muted the track?

How do I turn this off?

Cheers.

Okay, a couple of screen-grabs:

On the upper track, you can see that I've 'twirled down' the little white arrow next to the 'read' button, and now it says 'show envelopes', with the mute automation selected - this is typically what it looks like when you display the envelope. The actual selection options look like this:

... and you can control pretty much anything here.

If you really don't want any automation, you can set the box that says 'read' to 'off', and none should be applied. If it still occurs, then almost certainly you've got some sort of gremlin in your session file, and I'm beginning to suspect that this might be the case if you haven't actually set this up to happen. If this is so, then you are going to need a bit of help from our resident session file expert - Suite Spot...
