That's the thing: by toggling Quantize-locked in the Group settings, this seems to align the two channels, and it 'fixes' the problem, then I move to the next waveform, try it again, and same issue. Here are the steps that I am able to reproduce (leading me to think this is a bug): 1.) Record 2 tracks from the same source. (e.g. 2+ mics, a Left and Right channel from a modeler, etc.) 2.) Record multiple takes of these two sources. Let's say take 3 passes at an entire song. 3.) Happy with the 3 passes, it's time to create a Comp. Select the 2+ multi-tracked Comp tracks and assign them to the same Group with Editing and Quanitize-locked audio settings enabled. 4.) Swipe the best Comps 5.) Now, let's say you rushed the chorus in all 3 of the Takes. Since Flex Time can be used in Takes, why not do that? That allows for the fastest auditioning of different Comps and Flex Time edits, instead of creating a Track alternative or Exporting the Comp to a new track, then flattening and merging, right? (right) 6.) Enable Flex globally and on the tracks in Slicing mode. 7.) Move a waveform and listen - for me, ONLY the editing Take is affected... the other track(s) in the Group are NOT affected, until I toggle Quanitize-locked in the Group. I will attempt to make as small a project/sample as possible that exemplifies this workflow. Stay tuned! Thanks

Hey folks, I need a sanity check on the Group Quantize-locked audio option, and my general workflow. I recorded a bunch of guitar parts on two different tracks - track one is the Left out and track two is the Right out of my Helix into my interface. The tracks are in the same Group, and have Editing (Selection) and Quantize-Locked (Audio) enabled. I'm creating the Comps and have swiped all the takes that I like. Now - here's my optimal desired workflow: I want to perfect the Comps by applying Flex Time to make small adjustments to timing. I want to do this within the Takes of a Comp, so that I can maintain maximum flexibility of auditioning the Take swiping and Flex time adjustments, so that I avoid any potential re-work of Flattening & Merging, only to find that I want to make a change in the underlying Comp. In my mind this makes a lot of sense. It makes the Comp the one-stop shop for the entire performance, and limits the additional step of editing separate tracks that have been Flattened and Merged. The problem is, when I make a Flex time change to Track 1, it is visually but not audibly reflected in Track 2. Worse yet, as I toggle the 'Quantize-locked' audio setting on/off of the Group, this seems to change the behavior and makes it hard to replicate the issue! 1.) Here's Track 1 - I want to move the note at the playhead a scootch to the left. 2.) Here it is after moving - I moved it a LOT more for illustrative effect. 3.) Here is second track in the group. The waveform from the Track 1 edit is reflected here too! UPON PLAYBACK, if Quantize-locked audio is enabled, the audio does not align to the visuals within the Daw - Track 1 is affected by the Flex time change, and Track 2 plays as normal. When Quantize-locked audio is enabled, the audio reflects the visuals (which is what I want) This can change from Flex to flex.... sometimes it works, sometimes not. Across many forums and instructional videos, I've understood 'Phase locked' / 'Quantize-locked' audio to be the standard use of Grouped multi-tracks for editing. Am I understanding this feature correctly? Is this advisible/inadvisible?

All is well until I get to step 4 - when I Shift+Command+click on the lower track, it simply re-adjusts the marquee selection instead of creating automation points across both tracks. If I simply click one the upper track after step 3, I get the automation points drawn on the top track only. As an alternative, is it possible to copy the automation points created by a regular marquee-select+click from 1 track to another? I think this would be a suitable workaround. So in that second screenshot, I'd just be looking to copy down those -1.3 db start and end points to the bottom track.

I think you are clicking and dragging - that works for me as well. I'm wondering more about the select-and-scroll method that allows me to use pinpoint accuracy at the start and end points by zooming in, selecting, flying to the end, zooming in, and selecting: 1. Command-click the starting point. 2. Scroll to the end point. 3. Shift-Command-click the end point.

I have 2 guitar mic tracks that are Grouped (for editing, phase locked audio, and automation mode). At the end of each track's plugins, I added a Gain plugin, which I used to automate the levels of the performance. My process in Automation mode is to marquee-select the desired region, click to create the end points, and adjust the level. That works pretty well, except now I want to select a handful of the automation points at one time, and adjust them across both tracks. Is that possible? When I click+drag to select the desired points, the movements are for only the selected track, not for both. I'm also unable to select the farthest left automation point without getting the next left automation point selected along with it. Would love feedback, thanks!

Hi David, let's say I wanted to use this method for all tracks in a Group, so that I can automate Gain for the exact same point across multiple tracks. Is that possible? I'm finding that it's not - I have tried starting the Cmd+click on track 1 and ending with the Shift+Cmd+Click on track 2, and only track 1 has the automation points created. What does work is regular marquee selection across both tracks, but ultimately the select-and-scroll method you suggested is what I'm looking for

With Cycle engaged and the play button's 'Play from cycle' engaged by default, hitting Space stops playback, and hitting Space again jumps back to the start of the cycle. I'm wondering if there is a hotkey that mimics the behavior of disengaging 'Play from cycle', so that I can choose on the fly how I want the playhead to behave as I'm auditioning a loop. This will prevent me from having to constantly re-drag Cycle locators to hear the parts I want. Example: - I have Cycle on a 16 bar phrase. - 8 bars in, I hear a flub and want to re-listen without changing cycle locators. - I'd like to be able to use the ',' and '.' hotkeys to fly the playhead back 1 bar, and then play back from the playhead, NOT the start of the Cycle. I found this old thread, but the hotkeys suggested didn't work: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17931&start=20 Thanks!

It worked! Thanks so much! This forum is such a great resource. Question: I generally like to self-service questions like these as much as possible. Of course, in this instance, I couldn't figure it out What would you recommend for a knowledge base for this type of use-case?

I find that marquee selection using Cmd+Click+drag is helpful for most situations, but when I do this for a large chunk of a song, I'd like to be able to achieve the same result, except with two clicks: 1.) click the exact start point 2.) scroll to the exact end point 3.) click the exact end point Is this possible through an existing workflow, or by creating new custom commands? Here's a video demonstrating the Cmd+Click+drag technique: Thanks in advance.
