Hey, got a slight problem...all of a sudden I'm getting no sound at all when in the multitrack view. The cursor moves along and the volume level thing at the bottom both work as normal but no sound.
However, if I click into the edit screen then it works fine! Its not muted or solo-ed on another channel, so any ideas? I'm using v2.1 by the way.
Also on an unrelated matter, the noise reduction on 2.1 seems to have gotten worse, in 2.0 you could select a small section of pure unwanted noise and then apply it over the whole file and it would work superbly. In 2.1 it doesn't seem to let you do the whole file, only small parts at once (anyone else experiance this?)
I would really appreciate the help with the multitrack problem because its preventing me working (I'm a sound engineer)
Many thanks
Matt H

Hmmmm. Have you checked the "Device Preference Order"?

Look in Options/Device Order and Options/Settings, to ensure that the soundcard (and order) you want to use is correct.

I've not seen mention elsewhere of your NR problem. In the absence of any suggestions on that aspect, try Prosupport by email.

Just to be clear, you create a noise profile, then select the entire wave, hit "Ok" to apply the NR, and then.......?
Which part exactly is the NR applied to ? The very beginning of the selection ? And what's the total time of the properly affected portion ?

ok, what I'd usually use it for is recording a voice. Some of the artists I record have quite noisy studios so I would select a portion of just background noise, get profile, click ok then hit f3 to apply it to the whole file. In 2.0 it worked really well, but in 2.1 the progress bar goes across but the background noise will still be there.
Seemed to only work effectively in 10 sec chunks or so
cheers

So, would the following scenario be accurate ?
- You select the first 10 seconds of a waveform.
- Apply NR to it.
- Note results.
- Hit "undo".
- Then select the first 60 seconds of the waveform.
- Apply NR to it.
- Note results. [/list:77f58087c2]
You're telling me the results over the first ten seconds aren't identical ?

yeah pretty much.
1 get profile from first 10secs
2 hit ok which leaves me with a silent first 10secs (because its removed the noise)
3 then hit f3 with the rest of the file selected
4 progress bar goes across slowly
5 no b/g noise has been removed
in 2.0 for me at stage 5 I'd be left with just a clean vocal
this happens on both of our computers here

As a matter of normal procedure (but habits differ!), after you obtain your profile you can press "close", highlight the whole file including the profile area, then press F2 and OK (so you don't have to ensure that you are not processing your profile area twice).
But that doesn't actually have anything to do with your problem! Do both the machines share the same program source, ie a possibly faulty download (though I'm not a believer in faulty downloads myself - I'd expect the program simply not to work if everything wasn't present and correct)? Support would need your full system spec to work on this one - you might care to post it here anyway.

Strange. The only thing I would suggest trying, is to get your noise profile, then hit the "Close" button (not "ok")in the NR dialog box, select the entire waveform, navigate back to the NR dialog box (through the menu, don't bother with shortcut keys), then hit "ok".
And if that doesn't work, I will be amazed.
I realize this seems to be what you're doing already, but, there's no reason to apply NR to the section you created your profile from before applying NR to the entire waveform, and to be sure you don't have any strange binding problems going on with the shortcut keys, try not using them this once.
Whoops. Hi Oz.

thanks for the help chaps, I don't have any dirty recordings to hand right now (just thought I'd mention it as I was posting anyway) but next time I do - I'll give that a go.
If it still doesn't work I'll be back!
thanks again
