Add time to label tracks (Win 10)

After finishing my project, i decided i wanted to add 12 seconds to the beginning of all my tracks. I selected all, transport to project start, generate silence and only the audio tracks moved the 12 sec. I realize there is no sound on the label tracks, but how do i get those tracks to move also?
Something with sync?
Thanks for the help.

Ugh… so. Sync lock ON and viola! Sorry… don’t know all the ins and outs of the program.
thanks anyway!

I ran into this issue just now. I will try to remember for next time that label tracks are not automatically synchronized until I adjust a setting. For now, perhaps this hacker trick will help people in a similar situation (who just want to add a fixed amount of time to all labels after inserting time into the beginning of all tracks.)

  1. used (edit) label editor
  2. exported Label 1.txt
  3. used awk … to add a fixed amount to all labels (see below)
  4. imported adjusted label file (which created a new label track)
  5. manually deleted the old label track, renamed the adjusted one

cat Labels\ 1.txt | tr ‘\r’ ‘\n’ | awk -v addSeconds=2.3313241 ‘{printf(“%f9\t%f9\t%s\n”, $1+addSeconds,$2+addSeconds,$3)}’ > Labels\ 2.txt

cheers,
