i’ve been working on a mix and everything was fine. i saved and closed the session and then when i opened it again later i found that i wasn’t able to drag any of the regions! i can trim the regions and even nudge them from the edit menu, but i can no longer drag the regions with the select tool (hand). the tracks are behaving as if they were all locked, which they aren’t.
is there something i can look for in the xml file which might’ve gotten discombobulated somehow? or does anyone have another idea of what might be going on here?
@jaskah: you are probably in lock-edit mode. Change it via the edit mode selector over toward the upper left corner of the editor window. This is a mode designed for editing when you do not want any region motion at all. It can be “accidentally” entered by pressing “1”, probably a mistake to make it so accessible.
thanks very much for your reply. i will see if this was the problem (i hope so!). i’ve been using ardour around three years now, but this is the first time for something like this to happen…
