icon in audio track

[dg27]

I'm cleaning up some guitar tracks and making some clip gain adjustments.

An icon I've only seen occasionally (maybe twice in the past year) is in the upper right-hand corner of one clip (attached). There is nothing special or unique about that clip.

I've tried various various to search for this in the manual but since I don't know what it is, I don't know how to search for it.

Can someone please tell me what this is? It's driving me a bit batty.

Thank you.

Thanks, Drew. Now I know what to read up on. I was moving a few clips to sync (align) with other tracks. Not sure why this would appear, but I'll look into it.

I think there's a pref to auto enable EA (can't remember, I don't use EA) and then if you grab something with the trim tool, it can expand/compress a clip and this icon will show up.

Thanks again. I've never used EA. I suspect I made an error when doing a tweak.

Preferences -> Processing -> "Enable Elastic Audio On New Tracks"
Preferences -> Editing -> "New Tracks Default To Ticks Timebase"

Most users should leave these off.

Agreed!! Rich, do you happen to know if they default to on?? Haven't trashed prefs or done a clean install in ages.

Thanks so much for this--I'll check my prefs. I don't think I would have ever enabled them.

Hi Drew - they should default to off, but I can't tell you how many times I've gotten audio tracks in ticks and elastic audio on and the sender says: "ticks timebase? Elastic Audio? what's that?"

Never hurts to double check.

I'm sure I never changed mine: "Enable Elastic Audio" was checked; "New Tracks Default..." was not.
