mcbramhill Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I'm currently baffled by a project with haywire automation. I have a few tracks with simple volume automation, but when I play the project the volume goes up and down where there is no automation information. For one of the tracks it either starts at -infinity or does the correct behavior. Not all of the tracks have issues, but I can't figure out what is happening, why it's happening, or how the heck to solve this. Tried searching for answers but couldn't find a solution.

David Nahmani Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Region automation? Track automation? MIDI volume events? If you cannot find any of it, try to attach the project here, or at least a copy of the project where you've deleted all the tracks but the culprit: How to attach files to your post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbramhill Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 All track based automation, checked and there isn't any region automation. They're WAVs I've imported so it shouldn't be MIDI stuff, though that side of Logic is a mystery to me (I edit radio and podcast features). Uploading two zipped project files with two problem tracks. (Had to split into two projects to be under the 40 MB limit). First one keeps wanting to go to -16.5 dB, second one wants to be at -infinity. Any insights are greatly appreciated!

David Nahmani Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 There is some kind of track automation corruption on that track. If you choose Mix > Delete Automation > Delete All Track Automation, the issue disappears. To work around this issue, create a new audio track, drag your region there, delete the corrupted track and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbramhill Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 That works! Glad to know I hadn't checked some cursed checkbox or whatever. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Open the environment, mixer layer (cmd+0), drag the highlighted channel strip away to reveal the one beneath it, delete the "hidden" one. Now it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it should work. Oh wow! I hadn't noticed that. Nice sleuthing. How did you think of checking that!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Only checked if everything looked "default" in there. Not sure though how the OP got this double... Tried this with a new empty project: 1 Create two audio tracks 2 Add some volume automation on track 2 3 In environment mixer layer, reassign track 2 to "Audio 1", close environment window 4 Delete track 2 Start playback, now there's "ghost" automation controlling track 1... Is this expected behavior ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Is this expected behavior ? Hard to tell what's expected from what's a bug sometimes. Reminds me of this: viewtopic.php?t=5297 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
