Audio Fade Not Working

[Sebastien Gravel]

Can you solo the track (the ! icon), just to check that there is not a track playing alongside.

if I solo it, the same thing happens. The fade does not work and it keeps playing music as if the whole file was there.

but if I mute the other 2 audio tracks, then the third track works perfect. It fades out and no more music plays.

But once I un-mute the other 2 tracks, the fade and the slice cut stops working and music continues to play from that track.

I am so puzzled!

its as if the bottom track’s automation is completely ignored and superseded by what ever the top tracks are doing.

WOW!
I figured out what happened. I’m so embarrassed!

Last night when I was editing this at 3:15am, somehow, I don’t know when it happened, it must have been between one of my head-drops!
but that section of the ambient track (track 2) somehow got replaced with the information from track 3!

So track 2 and 3 were now the same, but of course track 2 without the fade information kept playing the music, as it should.

So now I have to find my original ambient sound and put it back in track 2. And take out the duplicate song which was causing this whole thing and everything will be fine.

I think I need a break now. I’m getting burnt out!

thanks for all your help!
