When I use the compression effect on an MP3 input it trims out either some of the beginning or the end so I have to undo the compression copy the part it randomly removes, redo compression and then past in the random part. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, updated to a new version but nothing works. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I am running on Windows 10.
I have had the problem before with one mono track and one stereo track. This one I sent the screen shot from had two mono tracks and one stereo track. It lasted overall around 46 mins.
The mono tracks around 45mins, the stereo (which it never effects) are less than a minute. I edit a podcast and the stereo is just short intro and outro music.
Your .aup3 file contains audio before time zero. You can tell this by the left-ward pointing arrows in the second track. When I apply the compressor to this track I can see that the compressor shifts the audio out of the negative area.
The developers have looked into the problem and on Jun 9, unfortunately, have closed this issue as not planned, saying “this is unlikely to get fixed any time soon, if at all - negative time is such a niche concept in an audio editor”
==> So, remove any audio before time zero and try running the compressor again. You can do this by Ctrl+A (select all), then grabbing the top of your track and sliding it until the yellow alignment bar appears.
So let’s cut to the chase. Zip up your .aup3 project file and upload it. Then post or PM me a link, along with instructions on how to replicate the problem.
