Default Exporting Midi - "Location Reference" Option Greyed Out...sometimes...

Hey there.

I've noticed lately that some of my midi PT sessions differ when I go to export the midi files.

Sometimes the "Location Reference" option is greyed out - and sometimes it lets me select "Session Start, Song Start etc...."

On PT 12.4.0

Any ideas why this occurs?

Thanks,

Sparky

After a bit more investigating - I think I figured it out...

If the midi session starts at the exact beginning of the session - then the options will appear in the "Location Reference" section.

If the midi files start elsewhere - then no options appear...

Moving the midi files to the beginning of the session reactivates the "Location Reference" options...

Hi, just liked to share the solution I found. If you don't Move Song Start location preference always will be greyed out. Changing the session's start will let you do that.
Bye
