Question

"Silence selected clips in time selection" behaviour

This menu option

Clip -> Silence selected clips in time selection

Behaves differently for two separate tracks in the multitrack editor, and I can't fathom why.

On one track (the desired functionality) it simply silences the selected audio, but on the other it sets two keyframes at -inf and hence affects the entire track.

Does anyone have any idea what has caused this? Is it something I can fix for the second track?

I can't think of any logical reason for that to happen. If you move the clip from the faulty track down to another one instead does the Silence Selected Clips in Time Selection work OK there?

After posting the above I think I started a whole new multitrack project and the problem didn't come back, so I couldn't test your suggestion. I don't do a lot of editing! But I've just come across it again on another new project.

I tried doing Clip -> Lock in Time, then dragged the track down to the one below. Unfortunately it hasn't changed the behaviour.

Any other suggestions? I've also tried splitting the tracks, and obviously the new keyframes do not affect the audio before the split, but the behaviour (on the new split track) is the same.

I hadn't been able to produce the problem in my normal test session for normal clips. However I can reproduce the effect after splitting clips and silencing a selection across the split. I think that you need to submit a Bug report about this behaviour for the developers to take a look at. Strangely Bug reporting comes under the Feature Request  heading on the right of the Audition Forum home page.


Okay thanks, I have submitted a bug report.
