Default can\'t zoom in

5.1.1/OS 9.0.4/Mix24Plus/G4/400

Out of the blue, one of my sessions won't let me zoom in all the way, all other sessions are fine.

I've trashed the "big 3" preferences... any ideas. Am I dealing with yet another corrupt session from the 5.1.1 update?

Stumped,
Howard Karp

-Try "Recalculating Waveform Overviews" from the Audio Regions list.

-If that doesn't work, then I would suggest entertaining your corrupt session theory. Use the File>Import Tracks function to move the tracks into a new session file.

I doubt it.

It's probably that you have the "default session length" time in prefs set too high. This is a VERY old bug. Set it to zero, and your zoom ins will return.

Try changing the default session length to a smaller value. I have found that when this gets too long it is not possible to zoom down to pencil tool level.

My 2 cents. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Try increasing the Preferred memory sizes of DAE and Pro Tools. Increase the DAE preferred size to 80000k (80MB) and Pro Tools to 70000k (70MB). Never change the minimum memory size. If you have, reset the DAE Minimum size to 30000k and Pro Tools Minimum to 35320k.

Howard,

I've seen this problem on a friends system. It only was like that with one of his sessions which lead us to believe that we were dealing with a corrupt session in some way. We did like you did, importing the tracks into a new session and that didn't help. The only way we came around it was to import the clean audio files, just import audio, into a new session and then it finally worked.

Good Luck!

-Robert

I have the same problem on one of my sessions as well. Changing the session length in the prefs did'nt work for me. I guess it's a corrupt session (I've trashed the prefs too). I'm not sure I follow what you mean by importing the "clean audio" files. Do you consolidate the tracks before you import audio instead of importing the tracks themselves?

Do you have a track showing something other than the waveform (eg. pan or volume automation)? That goofed me once...
