Overlapping sounds

Hello all!

I keep having a stupid problem with Mixcraft and I know it's my own fault but maybe someone has some ideas for dealing with it?

When I'm editing sounds in tracks (in this case by "sounds" I usually mean MIDI but I think the same could happen with audio), sometimes I'll be making edits and I start hearing multiple notes or sounds at the same time, where some reflect my edits and others do not. When I remember, I'll check and find that the track contains two or more copies of the sound... sitting right on top of each other so it's not apparent from looking.

I'm sure it's something I'm fat-fingering or "fat mousing" but is there any way to prevent this or make it more visible? Like a setting that would prevent overlapping sounds in the same track, or something that would offset multiple sounds within a track vertically so one can't "hide" under another?

Hi,

Not sure why that's happening. Are you using alt-drag to duplicate clips? Are you copying and pasting them a lot? Try to figure out what's causing it.

I do use alt-drag quite a bit, but in the particular project I'm working on, it started happening before I did that. However I'm a lousy typist so can't rule out that I did exactly that by accident.

Is alt-drag the only keyboard/mouse combination that will do that?
