  • No mute on audio mixer track when audio effect is added

    Posted by Steve Gaines on February 9, 2009 at 12:22 am

    I’m mixing a few tracks with the audio mixer and decided to add some EQ to one of them .
    When I did , that particular track has no mute or volume function. It just plays no matter what I do
    within the audio mixer . When I delete the effect, the track returns to normal function.
    Any one out there know what”s going on and how to remedy it ?

    Which EQ filter are you using? Does it help if you change the Real-Time Audio Mixing to a greater number of tracks? It’s located in the User Preferences under the Final Cut Pro menu.

    I did a simple test on my system and could reproduce what you’re experiencing. Any more details you can share?

    Oh, and you wouldn’t happen to be the same Steve Gaines that I knew when I worked in Costa Mesa?

    Good luck!

    Or you could export the audio with the filter as a single track, then bring it back in so it will act right. It’s not a perfect fix, but it should work.

    Thanks Russell. Today I increased the number of real time tracks from 8 to 12 and it seemed to have remedied
    the problem , but then , because I shut everything down last night and have started today anew ,
    out of curiosity , I went back into preferences and switched the tracks back to 8 and it still seems to work
    OK , so maybe it was a refresher issue ?? The filter I was using is the 3 band EQ .
    Have not been down to Costa Mesa
