Are duplicate tracks default locked

[robirdman1]

I am making duplicate audio tracks, so that when I warp one, I retain the original. But I see that as I warp the one, the original above is warping simultaneously. The tracks were formerly layers from a split drum track. Is that why, or should it be so? Even if I lock the original, it also warps when the dupe does.

In Cubase you warp Audio Files and not Tracks. So if you duplicate a Track with Audio, that is the same Audio on both Tracks. However when there are multiple clips from the same Audio Files used multiple times and then you try to warp one instance. When you do that you should get a warning message that the Audio is being used multiple times and offer to make a copy to warp instead of the original. The message does have a ‘don’t show me this again’ checkbox. I don’t know how to clear the check once it is set, but someone here will. Or poke around & see if you find it.

So I looked in the manual for ‘make a copy’. Only one instance.

“To make a copy of an event, press Alt/Opt , and drag it to a new position.”

So I thought that was it and deleted what was on the duplicate track and dragged thus. And warping one still affected the other. ……………………………….

But I made a new track and similarly dragged the copy to it and now it doesn’t affect.

I thought it didn’t affect, now after a lot of warps, I see that it did do the original also. So stuck, unable to edit without affecting the other. I can see that somehow I did this in the past, as the bass track has a modified dupe version. Maybe bounce one track, 1st removing all the warps, if I don’t want to change the original?

@Martin.Jirsak I bet you know how to clear this so the warning shows up again.

My guess when you did this you got the warning message and answered that you did want to make your warps on a new copy. And sometime after that the warning popped up and you checked the box to not show that message again. The message offers to work on a copy, if you don’t see the message you won’t get the offer & you’ll get what you are getting now.

It’s in the Preferences > Editing > Audio > On Import Audio Files… The default option is: Open Options Dialog.
