Subject:Help - Unable to Drag a Groove to a Track

So I sliced up the drum track for one of my songs into about 20 loops (sliced mode), which I have laid out on a track. The results are good, but I want to experiment with different grooves on the loops.

Now, when I try to drag a groove from the groove pool onto the track it displays the "not allowed" symbol. What is preventing the groove from being applied to the track?

If I copy one of the loops to a new track I am able to apply the groove there.

What attributes of my track could be disallowing the groove? Too many loops?

Thanks,

Randy

Grooves cannot be applied to Beatmapped tracks (but just about everything else). I'm guessing your drum track is a Beatmapped track?

I thought with Acid Pro 6 audio tracks were basically free-form now and could contain any sequence of one-shots, beatmapped, and loop clips in a single track.

I'll have to check when I get home, but I suppose it is possible that I have an unused beatmapped clip lurking somewhere in the track.

I will look in the clip pool for the track and see if this is the case. Perhaps the existence of a beatmapped clip in the pool, even if not used, causes this problem.

Thanks for the guidance!

Cheers,

Randy

mD,

Thanks for the hint! I had a beatmapped clip (unused) sitting in the clip pool, once I removed it I was able to apply grooves to the track.

Cheers,

Randy
