Please Help!
I was jus mixing, and then all of a sudden the right side waveform went from the regular one, to 3 smaller waves on the right side.
I am using tech 1200 with a stanton 500 cartridge, but the sound, sounds the same, its perfect, But the waveforms are messed up

Please help

thanks

Try unloading the track, shutting down SSL, restarting SSL, and reloading that track.
Not sure what is going on?

Hey Zach,

I restarted my comp, restarted the SSL and put back on the same track, as well as others, and the same thing happens, the waveforms on the right deck, is divided into 3, not jus one as how it usually is, plus the left side waveform is how it should be. Also i switched to my Cd players, and the same thing happens. the sound sounds great, but just the waveforms on the right deck are divived into 3 waves intstead of one

You're fine, just hold the CTRL key and click on the waveform and it will go back to normal. What you're seeing is a "feature" (3-band spectrum waveform), not a problem. :)

Although, it's shouldn't just change automatically. You must have accidentally clicked the waveform while holding the control key or something.
