Audio Anchor misalignment?

[globet]

Dragged the audio anchor to the very far end, but there's still a space on the audio file in the tracks area. Any idea why this happens?

Have you tried to resize that region?

Resized that region to the max already. Interesting if I bounce that audio region and reimport it, the anchor lines up again.

This is probably occurring because it's an apple loop? Try using it with a normal audio file.

Yeah, Apple Loops have this alignment issue, but if you position the Playhead to the right end of the audio file and move the anchor to it via KC the anchor should align. I'm still trying to figure out why bouncing and reimporting it fixed the issue. Might be bug. Will post it here if I find something.

Because a new (default) anchor would have been created at the start of the bounced file?

Yes, that's right. My interest is why or how the old anchor became misaligned.

You manually moved it, correct?
It's possible the "snap" value for the edit (movement of the anchor) was set to a non-sample level...i.e. to a beat, division, tick, etc.
As a random thought, another potential gotcha could be to do with pre-defined crossfades.

So this is a bug related to anchor position and apple loops. 

Normally, you shouldn't have an anchor when an audio file follows tempo. However with Apple Loops, you still see an anchor even though the loops follows tempo. 

That anchor positioned is however calculated with the audio file not following tempo, which results in a misalignment when the audio file is stretched or compressed. 

• Follow Tempo & Pitch = ON
  
• Follow Tempo & Pitch = OFF

Because the new file is not an Apple Loop but a regular audio file.

Nice sleuthing Dave.

Nice catch

This is fixed. Thanks guys. When you turn off the "Follow Tempo..." check box for Apple Loops, the anchor is correctly aligned.

Thanks guys.

You're welcome. 🙂
