Track duplication

[BudmanRocks]

I have 1 problem with sonar. When ever I do track editing it duplicates the wave file up to 2 times within the same track. Is there a fix for this ???

What do you mean by "track editing?"

What are you doing?

I mean i'm splitting tracks and redoing or deleteing parts.

Doesn't mater if their stereo or mono tracks. It makes copies of the track and they are behind the one i'm editing. I have to keep deleteing them when doing any editing.

Maybe you have to modify the default edit configuration settings. Should be a way to have it not create a backup copy each time.

I'm not a Sonar user, so I'm just guessing here.

I'm a long-time Sonar user and I've never had that happen. jagcmos may be right.

You're not re-recording are you?

I can think of only a couple scenarios that would result in multiple (and potentially unwanted) clips: a muted original underneath a V-Vocal clip, and track layers. Both are normal and desirable.

Any time you re-record a part on the same track, you're going to get a new clip on top of the original. It's not like tape, where each re-take overwrites the previous one. (If you've ever comped a vocal you're glad that's how it works!)

I knew bitflipper would chime in and help!

That's what I was thinking (is the track armed and are you recording on top of what you have?).

It's hard to tell without being there and looking at it.

Desirable is right. Sometimes I like to record with a loop on (maybe 12 bars) and recording layers of guitars over top each other just to see what happens (most of the time not good, but fun).

No the track is not armed. All the waves in the same track are the same. 3 of the same in each track, it will happen over and over.

So you record a clip once and three clips show up in the track? When you look at each one's track properties, do they point to 3 separate files? If so, check the files' properties: do they all have the same timestamp?
