Tell me what happened

[Fastermouse]

So I can keep it from happening again.

I recorded a stereo acoustic guitar take. I realized that the right channel mic was lower than the left. Did some edits and then shifted the regions to two mono tracks. Audio suite gain +3db processed the right region and shifted back to the stereo track. But WTF, some of the sections were 1 beat late. But not all sections. 1/2 a verse would be syncopated, and the next 1/2 would sync. Huh?

I tried 3 times, and finally also gain boosted the left region by .6 db and viola!, back in sync.
What happened?

maybe u need a Fastermouse

hey FM

are u on .3 or .1? Some others have talked about files being out of sync on the .3 build...

Don't know what happened, but next time, either split the 2 and leave them split, or select a dual-mono EQ plugin so you can balance the 2 sides with that plugin and keep the original stereo track intact. There's lots of ways to accidentally shift things. I did it today with 4 BGV tracks. I grouped them and tried to copy/paste a chorus to another part of the song. They pasted fine but when I went to nudge them into alignment, only 2 of the 4 regions would move, no matter what I did(all 4 were still highlighted, but they would only move in pairs, upper 2 or lower 2). Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm"

The 8.x version to use is 8.0.1cs1 if you care to venture into the 8 era.

Yea Faster, this has been a pretty solid release, so... come on over to the dark side with PT8.
(8.0.1cs1 that is)

That's the version I am running and its solid

Strange, out of all versions of 8, 8.0.1cs1 and 8.0.3cs 1 were the worst for me. Luck of the draw for me I guess. 8.0cs3 and 8.0.3 have been the best (not excluding issues on all) but minor.

I am going to dual boot with another drive, but honestly don't know how and haven't bothered to find out.


What was really weird was that only some of the regions were shifted, and they were shifted exactly a one beat. As I said, I fixed it, but since I have made some mistakes before that were just ignorant, such as editing on EA tracks, I wanted to make sure that I hadn't gone down Stupid Avenue.
