SOLVED Reverb silences the audio

Post by Jebbers » Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:18 pm

Hey! I've never had a problem with reverb before. I'm using a standard preset. no matter how I set the effect, the preview sound fine, but when I add the effect the result is a flat line, as if I had used ctrl+L.

SOLVED: Turns out I had two tracks selected at once. So that effect does not work except on one single track. Just thought I'd post this, in case anyone else should have a problem and go searching for "reverb silence."

Oh dear. That's a bug. It "should" work on multiple tracks, but that appears to have broken at some point.
I'll log it on the bug tracker.

The surprising thing is that the bug appears to have been present for over a year, and you're the first to mention it! :shock:

I think we usually apply effects to one track at a time.
