Unable to silence volume on imported audio

Post by midwinter » Wed Jun 25, 2014 1:48 am

Hi all.

I mixed an Aura project and sent it to Logic, where I recorded a simple B3 pad. I exported that single track (in stereo) as a .wav and imported it into Auria.

But I am unable to completely silence it, even with the fader all the way down. It's really weird.

Any thoughts?

Weird! I can't even *mute* it. And if I solo it, nothing at all plays.

OK Nevermind.

What a pain.

So lessons learned: importing tracks is destructive.

Actually, importing audio into Auria is not destructive. If you accidentally imported into the wrong track, just tap and hold on the region and move it to another track. Let me know if I can help in any way.

This was, *somehow* destructive. Luckily, it just imported over a click/drum loop, so all I had to do was re-create the loop. But I was a little panicked there for a minute!

Don't forget about the 'Undo' button :wink: Similarly, taking periodic snapshots can provide a convenient "get out of jail card".

When you import audio, be careful to specify which track to import to (or '+' to create a new track during import and import to that track). As Rim said, importing audio is not destructive. However, you can accidentally import over existing audio regions, thereby silencing the overlaid audio. The original audio is still there; it's just not visible/audible.

EDIT: Of course, if you're convinced this is a bug and you can recreate the symptom at will, please give precise step-by-step instructions of how to make it happen :)
