Thanks JMCecil. I appreciate your help. I tried that first (after looking through the manual) but I can assure you it didn’t work. Got no idea why my version is behaving abnormally but it is. I did exactly what you suggested here - so strange.
I find it amazing that Steinberg’s DAW coloration (or lack thereof) in Cubase, Wavelab, Halion 4, etc. can incorporate so many drab shades of gray on the screen!
Completely off topic, I know, but it seems only half the people here know how to spell “color”.
I kid, I kid.
