I’m trying to move the beginning of a particular song back to the beginning of the timeline (by moving all the events simultaneously), but when I do, the tracks go out of sync. Been using Cubase for 25 years and have never seen this problem.
A little difficult to tell from those shots… is it the mandolin (audio) tracks that are out of sync after the move?
I ask because there seems to be a longer stretch between the start of the events and the start of the actual audio in the second shot vs the first. Almost as if the events had been extended forward. This would result in the mandolins coming in late.
If appears the mandolin is later than the guitar after the move, and yes, this is the problem. There is no change in tempo, no events or automation points prior to where I am attempting to move the tracks. Simply grabbing all the tracks and moving them, but when they get there the mandolin is late.
From here it looks like all the events other than mandolin were dragged to the new origin, but the mandolin events were stretched rather than dragged, i.e. you clicked on the lower left corner of the events and pulled the front of the events forward. So your events are aligned but the mandolin audio stays where it was (and is now late for that reason).
They were all highlighted and dragged simultaneously
Out of curiosity, how far was the drag from the original location?
A couple of bars, not far. Just needed to eliminate a count in at the beginning.
Was it about the distance between the start of the guitar audio and the mandolin audio (after the drag)?
No, the drag was at least a second if not more, the discrepancy is only about 30 milliseconds
OK, understood.
Have you tried re-doing it? Do you always get the same result?
Yes tried it repeatedly. I might add I have a motherboard that apparently has a ram issue, and windows will only see one slot. So everything is a little starved of RAM, which as I understand it can lead to files being corrupted. I get all kinds of weird symptoms that normally require me to just reboot and reinstall the Lynx driver, and I tried that as well btw. It looks like I’m just going to have to leave the events where they sit for this particular project. Not a huge hardship, just weird.
Well, that’s a strange one. While you no doubt need to get your RAM problem sorted, I can’t imagine memory errors producing something so repeatable.
In the short term you can trim a bit off the four event headers and drag the mandolin forward into position. A bit of a pain but at least they’ll be in sync.
