Entire sections automatically mute themselves after I start bouncing the track.

Question

Entire sections automatically mute themselves after I start bouncing the track.

Recording spoken audio for a podcast, and I muted the track so that I wouldn’t hear my own voice monitored in my headphones. We recorded three segments, but when I go to bounce them, the second and third segments mute the entire track. Doesn’t matter if I try bouncing the whole track or each part individually, part one comes out fine, and parts two and three mutes themselves. Not sure what I did, but please any help would be appreciated

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.6

In my quest to find wherever the automation parameter menu might be located, I noticed the "delete all region automation" in the automation dropdown and crossed my fingers. It worked and the regions bounced correctly. Thanks a bunch for your help.

Hi,

Can you try these settings? I believe your regions (as opposed to the track are muted).

P.S also you do not have to mute the track...you can also turn off input monitoring (orange "i" icon on the track)

It still mutes the whole track when I try to bounce the region. The region itself isn't muted. I tried messing with that before ending up here. What's weird is I can hear region #02 and #03, but I have to unmute the track after pressing play. If I have the track unmuted and press play, it will mute the track. If I move the playhead while the region is audible, it will mute the track again. None of these things happens with region #01. I can move the playhead around all I want.Also thanks for the heads up on the input monitoring.

I could be mistaken but I believe you have some active automation on the track (perhaps without knowing it?). Would you mind checking the automation parameter menu and seeing if you have the "Mute" function automated here and there?

Also, the new project that was created from bouncing the region has the same issue.

Awesome...so it was active automation on the track that you were not aware of.

Glad that Helped,
