Probably a dumb ass question about sample trimming

Hi

When I record a sample then go to trim the little beggar, the 4000 seems to get a mind of its own and has already put the start and end markers somewhere that seems random to me, and worse than that, sometimes you can't move them because of the setting of the loop markers.

What is all this about? I've read both manuals and didn't see anything about engaging/disengaging ANNOYING MODE anywhere.

Perhaps I'm a dumb ass, and if so, tell me about it...

Paul,This one was a bad one for me too,the problem is that the TRIM screen start/end points are affected by the start/end points of the REGION screen.The trick,if you can't edit the start/end points of the sample is to go to the REGION screen,and in the middle of the screen between the two waveforms click on REGION and press OPEN WINDOW.In that screen make sure that you have the REGION AMOUNT selection set to one,and the source set to SAMPLE.This will free up the start/end points for you.I nearly shit my pants when i found out this fix,as that was very frustrating to me.

Good Luck,Shaun

Cheers for that you're a legend!
