This is a very minor problem but it’s kinda frustrating especially when dealing with audio loops, the selection tool doesn’t automatically snap to the end of an audio piece when i select it
I’ve tried reinstalling and redefining preferences but it doesn’t seem to work, and this problem only occurs with one project, which has 7 tracks and is about 7 minutes long
Are you referring to the vertical yellow snap line that appears when you drag a selection to the time position of a clip boundary or label?
What exactly are you doing when the problem occurs?
Thank you for answering, yes i am referring to that, now that the yellow snap line doesn’t show up i have to manually zoom a lot to select the exact end of a clip
I can’t tell you exactly what triggered it, i’m not sure but i think i saw the problem after i added the 5th track and was editing it (cutting and moving), but that was when i realized it
Also today i recorded another track for the project and when i drag it across the screen It only snaps where it’s highlighted
If “Snap To” in Selection Toolbar is enabled, mouse-dragged selections and mouse clicks will only snap to the chosen unit of time and not to physical boundaries (unless a boundary is already aligned with the chosen unit of time).
You probably have an old version of Audacity. See the pink panel at the top of the page. Try the current Audacity 2.1.3 Audacity ® | Download for Windows.
If you are dragging labels, they don’t snap to other labels, clips, editing cursor or selection boundary. Those are feature requests.
Using a similar layout to that you show, I could not reproduce the problem in 2.1.3 or 2.2.0-alpha.
Please save it as a project and attach the AUP file so we can see exact timings of the labels and audio tracks. Please see how to attach files to forum posts.
