Hi all,
It turns out I've forgotten one, so here's one Tracktion question:
I have a problem with a channel on which I'm using Tracktion's sampler - I cannot adjust the volume in the volume/pan filter. It seems to be stuck; if I move it, it wobbles around a bit but as soon as I release the mouse button it goes back to its original position.
Any thoughts? Obviously I can adjust the volume of each sample within the sampler but that's a fairly tedious workaround.....

Sounds like you've got automation enabled. To adjust the volume, you'll either have to remove the automation, or add a second vol/pan filter following the first and adjust the volume on that one.

Is it possible to have automation on a track and it not show up as a line? I don't remember automating this track (started it a long time ago....) and there is no automation line visible.
I will try putting a second vol/pan filter in series, good idea.

It is possible to hide automation curves. Click on the little "A", and mouse down to "active parameter curves". I'd be awfully surprised if the vol/pan filter isn't automated. You can also do the same thing by right-clicking on the filter, and going to "display an active automation curve".

It's a bug. It does it by itself, quite often in my case, though no one else seems to have the problem. Perhaps it's elves...

It also happens when you use the "delete region" function. Get rid of the elves, though, and we'll be rid of T's largest problem!

But what if they're replaced by dwarves, gnomes, leprechauns, or even mischievious midgets? What then?

It'll be time to call the Nazgul.

Thanks everyone.
It will be the "delete region" function what's done me up like a proverbial kipper.

Mischievous midgets......

[Edited. Added info for future problemsolving for newbies.]

Looks like it's solved, but anyway: when the tracks seem to have a will of their own when they really shouldn't it may be that you've accidentally had the "automation write" button pressed. Check for active automation lines in the automation drop-down meny to see if you've accidentally recorded automation. The "Automation write" button is off when it's white.

Widgets, not midgets. And the leprechauns are all over in cubase's camp. As for the gnomes... well, you don't really want to know...

dependent on color scheems

also if you dont use any vst automation (standerd midi cc automation is different!!) in your track then you can just turn off the automation play button

I found this to be a problem myself and after frying my cat, I checked on the setings of my ASIO. It appears that if your track (mine were all audio) was taken from a differnt device (I use a Zoom) the sample rate has to be set corectly, or your out of luck. I readjusted mine, and now it works. Hope this helps, I'm new at this BTY.
