I used to get this symptom occasionally when I was still using 1.2.x - I don't ever recall seeing it in any of the 1.3.x versions I have used for the past year or so. You might want to try upgrading to 1.3 - 1.3.7 is pretty stable now, but you may wish to wait a couple of weeks as I undestand 1.3.8 ...

Is there a feature that allows you to move the cursor back and forth over a section while you can HEAR the sound (rather than just look at the signal) to make sure your edit points are in exactly the right spot? No, what you are asking for is known as "scrubbing" and this is not an availa...

Split the Stereo track - click on the little downward pointing black triangle in the Track Control Panel to the left of the track (easy when you know where it is - but not intuitive at all!) and select Split Stereo Track .

AAC, for example is well supported by Apple Corp. (it is their propr...

This is me writing that down, as yes it does indeed work like that in 1.3, just tested it.

Amazing the tips and tricks you can learn here, thanks for that Koz.

It's still there in my installation of 1.3.7 (sixth menu item down) - but I am running PC/Windows XP not MAC, so can't vouch for a MAC installation.
