Re-opening a mx9 file sometimes causes all my clipped audio to shift to 0:00

Post by Tamaneko »

This occurs very inconsistently -

Sometimes when I re-open a file that i've previously cut audio files with (in the same track) the separated clips get all bunched together at 0:00, or appearing way before did previously on the timeline.

I've tried re-installation, but it still happens :/

Hi,

What build do you have? Mixcraft 9.0 build 460? If not, try updating.

Hi,

I'm not sure how that would happen. I've never had it happen here. Your screenshots make it look like the clips have been time-stretched or something. Are you time-stretching clips?

Are you sure you're opening the correct project file?

I haven't time-stretched the files - only cut and shifted clips horizontally (apologies, my re-created original state is a different zoom level than the second screenshot). No fx have been added to the tracks either.

I open the files via the panel dropdown that appears at program startup. I don't keep multiple copies (or use version control) of the same file.

This isn't the first time that's happened, I've had it happen to 2-3 other files in the past, I'll keep an eye on future files to see if there's any similarities to re-produce this scenario
