Default What now? "must be the same length for the Clip Slide command to complete during reco

I'm recording a podcast and while I record 4 channels, I like to move clips around on the timeline for the presenters to be able to comment on it.
Was no problem before, but with 1218.10 I get this:
Quote:
Could not complete your request because the clips on Track "AUDIO" do not appear to match in file size, duration, or position for multichannel processing. These clips and their corresponding audio files must be the same length for the Clip Slide command to complete during record.
What on earth does this mean?
Even copied it to a fresh track (nope) and consolidated a clip) nope...
Reconfigured I/O setup to stereo instead of multichannel: no sir.


What to do?

EDIT: tried this in a fresh session: all fine. imported the problematic track: same problem. Very weird.

Sorry to answer so late: no, not from an older session.
Today it happened again: I Googled the error-message
Quote:
Could not complete your request because the clips on Track "Audio 1" do not appear to match in file size, duration, or position for multichannel processing. These clips and their corresponding audio files must be the same length for the Trim Clip Gain command to complete during record.
and ended up at my own post


Repaired disk permissions and set drive to ignore ownership, but the error stays: during recording I cannot do anything to clips: fade, move, splice...
Saved a copy of the session, still the same problem.


Any ideas?

Found my answer in an older post:
Quote:
You've got mono tracks that have been recorded at separate times then moved to a stereo track.
Split stereo whichever tracks you're having trouble with to mono and you should be good :)

That indeed fixed it for me. Now the only thing is to make sure it never happens again. I use a simple dirty trick to prepare a session for a podcast; I import a bunch of items and drag them onto the playback track. Than I switch that track to Tick base and lower the session tempo, making all clips spaced (to be able to record commentary in between) and than switch back to Time-based. Somehow that messes things up, apparently.
Just posting this in case someone else is looking for the same error-message.
