1.07 Update Stereo recording problem

[Morgan]

Hi RIM, I have just downloaded the new version of Auria but for some reason the right track is now not recording. I can see both tracks modulating in the meter but when I go to play back the recorded track via the edit window there is no waveform on the right track other than a straight line. All previous recordings are ok but now can't record any stereo tracks. I am using exactly the same set up as I always have which is Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 with multiple stereo inputs. Is there something in the new version that I am missing. Thanks

Trevor,

You're right - this is a new bug. I've just fixed it, and the fix will appear in 1.08. But in the mean time, to get around this, tap and hold on the record enable button for that track, and when the menu comes up, check the Record Effects selection. This will properly record both channels. You'll need to bypass any effects you don't want recorded on that track, but it'll properly record your stereo track. Alternatively, you can record onto two separate mono tracks without needing to use this workaround.

Thanks Rim much appreciated.

Yes I can confirm this happens to me too on a stereo track recording audio from a stereo microphone. The workaround did work though. Quite a major bug here as auria is used for recording all the time, might put new people off to run into this.

worth pushing through a quick 1.08 update?

[Rim]

I agree. We're most likely out of expedited reviews, but we'll definitely be sending off a 1.08 update in the next couple of days.

I've found a way to reproduce the moving markers by accident btw.

-press play in the edit window
-touch in the timeline to jump the play head to a new location
-relatively quickly after, try tapping and dragging anywhere in the edit region below (as if to scroll through the arrangement)
-the blue markers will move to where you touched and dragged in the edit window.

if this fix could make it into 1.08 that would be sweet.



p.s. not sure if this is possible due to the new time stretch functions but the arrows on the corners of regions to move in-out / fade in-out only appear when the vertical height of the clip is pretty large. do they need to be quite so large before they arrows appear?

[Rim]

Ok, thanks. I'll check it out.

The handle functionality was improved to eliminate false selections. In previous versions, it was possible to move the handles when the regions were smaller, but often users would mistakenly select other regions. Having them larger is a big improvement in reliability.

Hi Rim
Hope you don't mind me saying this but the new handle way is awkward and time consuming
It's ok if you have 1-4 tracks but if you have say a 10 track project you have to enlarge & Stretch the edit window until it has around 4 tracks in the window before the handles show up to adjust
Much preferred the the previous way

Can't you revert this and the people that struggle and make mistakes with regions they should be the ones havIng to enlarge and stretch to make less mistakes

[Rim]

I can appreciate that, but it's better overall to have Auria's GUI become more accurate, even if it means it takes a little longer to accomplish something. The larger handle touchzones are something I should have done long ago, before Auria was released. With the smaller handles, I've just had too many people complain about the handle functionality, and the fact that every time they tried to hit those little arrows, it would select an adjacent region. At this point, I'm not inclined to go back to that. It's created a lot of frustration, and made Auria look bad. At some point, I may add an option in the settings for adjusting the handle size, but for now, it's just going to take a little getting used to. Believe me, accuracy is MUCH better than speed when it comes to manipulating audio.

regarding handles.

I get the need for accuracy and consistence. An interesting compromise could be that the in-out handles appear 1st and then the fade handles appear 2nd when further expanded. That way there is a half way stage for easy access to the most often used handles and so keeping screen clutter to a minium. Do you think that could work?

[Rim]

That's an interesting and clever solution. I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks,

I would also vote for something like this suggestion - I for one really liked the way it was from a track height/screen perspective although I understand your need to be more accurate.

Or how about double tapping the track name expands the track height to the size ready for editing. Double tap the track again to take it back to how it was.

This also could be useful for working on automation for a track quickly and easily.

Or a toggle button full page vs regular size.

One presse to resize the track to full size.
Second press to restore to previous size.

All the double / triple taps will later need a special manual to remember

[Rim]

I've just implemented this. Now, when you shrink the track sizes, the fade circles disappear, and you only see the trim circles.
