Unable to mute clip audio

[the_dovid]

Hi.  I'm using Ru on Windows 10 (surface book 1)

I muted a clip, and have a voiceover (recorded in the app) on another track.  It seems as though, when the voiceover track is enabled, the individual clip audio on other clips follow the voiceover audio settings.

In other words: If i disable or remove the voiceover clip, i can change audio parameters on other clips.  But if the voiceover clip is enabled, changes i make to other clips' audio have no effect.

Am i missing something obvious?

Hi the_dovid!

This seems very strange.

Are you on desktop or iOS? I'd love as many details about your device as possible. Have you already done some troubleshooting? I'd hate to suggest something you've already tried.

Oh my.  I feel extremely silly.  I figured out the issue:

The existing audio played during VO recording and was therefore "baked into" the VO track.  I totally didn't realize, and thought that the clip audio refused to respond to setting changes unless the VO was delteted or disabled.

So, user error.

The one suggestion I might make is to somehow remind users that the existing audio is enabled when recording, or perhaps even give an option to toggle all audio tracks off before recording begins.

And for the sake of thoroughness- I was using the desktop version on Windows 10

Ah, I see what happened! That's a great critique, thank you! Would you mind making a request here and explain the confusion you experienced due to not getting an alert saying that enabled audio would be picked up by your recording?

Thank you for joining me on this little journey of cluelessness.
