Coming towards the end of a 30 day demo of Audition 1.5 and absolutely love it... will almost certainly buy!

But a strange thing has started happening...

When I left click the mouse on a track (in multitrack view) or on a mixer fader, the cursor jumps to the bottom of the screen. Often it either moves the clip to amother track entirely, or in the case of a fader, zeroes it.

I have no idea why this has started happening, but this weird mouse behaviour ONLY happens in Audition (i.e. mouse behaves itself in all other applications).

Have I inadvertently caused this and can anyone suggest a way of stopping this annoying mouse behaviour please

Is it anything to do with the new mouse control, see if altering the tools setting helps.

This box first shows (new feature in 1.5) untill you click the box – I left it on to remind me

Best regards,

:O)

Thant's not cured it, unfortunately.

Having said that, I'm not at all sure what toggling between the three new tools actually does do - it seems to do nothing that I can tell (but I will have to go deeper into the help manual when I buy a copy).

Perhaps that feature is working properly - or has somehow become corrupted - on the demo version.

Any more suggestions from anyuone?

(By the way, i'm running under Windows XP, but as I said I only get problems in Audition, and only started a few days ago.)

Thanks again!

Okay, so now I have worked out what the mouse tools you refered me to are all about...

...but unfortunately they don't hold the key to solving my jumping mouse problem.

Also I did a virus check, but it found nothing.

Any more advice anyone?

By the way, notwithstanding this problem, I think that Audition is absolutely brilliant. I've come from Cubase SX, Tracktion, Live 2 and Reason... but I've never managed to produce such transparent audio recordings in any other software. I assume it is the quality of the FX, but perhaps also the way the programme is optimised as a professional audio application. Just great!

I've just upgraded from cool edit pro and I love it . VST support yaaay ! at last !
The only thing is the colour scheme , ok I know you can change it but I still find them a bit weird .

sorry but no mouse jumping problems here , I 've haven't heard anything like this since there were weird viruses going around which caused this problem ,but I thought they were a thing of the past (WIN95/98 ) for sure
Is it definately only happening in A.A ?

Have you tried a different mouse ? maybe an old one you got lying around ?

Ive seen weird mouse problems on a system caused by the machine deciding the mouse was actually a pen device (!!!)

You could check the Device Manager and ensure there's only one mouse-type device installed. If there's more than one, disable the one that isnt your mouse...

Thanks guys...

Okay -

1. Yes it only happens in Audition (so far as I can tell - lots of software on my system, but I know for sure the mouse is fine in Reason, Tracktion, MS Office, Quark Xpress, Internet, etc)

2. I'm laptop based and have two "pointing" devices - the Touchpad and a USB mouse. The problem is common to both.

3. I will check out your advice in system properties and see if I can make any changes, e.g. disabling either touchpad or mouse and seeing if this solves it

Failing that, when I buy the full version(not if, because I don't blame Audition at all for this!)I imagine that a clean install will solve any system configuration problems that are specific to my Audition install.

Thanks again - and if anyone has any other ideas keep 'em coming.

Aha!

I've found that my jumping mouse cursor only happens when I have the track EQ window open. For a few days I had this docked - together with the mixer - in the lower half of the main multitrack window.

Well, now that I've undocked it, the problem has gone! So when I click on an audio or mixer track the mouse cursor stays just where I want it. (and I still have the mixer docked in the lower half of the window, just not the track EQ)

Reopen the track EQ and the problem returns!

I wonder whether this happens for those of you with the full programme up and running? If you have a moment and are interested, check it out - and let me know!

Thanks again for your earlier help!

I've tried to replicate your problem here with no luck (phew! for me)
P4
2.8
A gig of ram
Win xp sp2

What a weird problem you've got , really hope you can sort it out .
you must be quite frustrated to say the least
