Question: Red Button in Track Activate Button

Post by John Do » Tue Dec 14, 2004 10:59 pm

This isn't so much a problem, not yet at least, but I have a question about this red light that appears in the upper left corner of the Track Activate button. I get this when I move a clip from it's original position in the arrangement view. I'm editing a bunch of clips and kept them at the start of the arrangement (position 1) while I warped them. After I finished warping all of my clips, I began to arrange them and noticed that when I moved a clip to say the end of another clip, the red button appeared in the Track Activate Button. Can anyone tell me what this means?

Thanks!

Not sure about this, but...
The red mark indicates that the track has some on/off curve for mixer.
Dont know how moving clips in arrangement may influence this. But in session, with a track where ther is som mixer on/off's, moving a clip in the track takes the setting with it, removing a clip that occupies a position where an on/off i settled, removes the setting as well, whick may remove the red mark also.
The behaviour looks clever but when moving things around there is surprises, but I cant repeat them just now... strange.
