This is really strange but now it's happened enough times for me to know I'm not crazy.
Randomly my autofades will stop working and I notice immediately
Then, I go to settings and see that the following tick boxes in project -> media item defaults are unticked that should be ticked and that I last left ticked
They are:
1.Create automatic fade-in/fade-out for new items and when splitting
AND
2. Overlap and crossfade items when splitting
So why won't these 2 settings stay ticked? Super bizarre and every so often causes me to make some edits I have to go back on.
What's weird also is that when this last happened I tried running the action SWS/AW: Fade in/out/crossfade selected area of selected items which did nothing either!
After re-ticking the boxes and closing and open Reaper everything's back to normal but it's only a matter of time I suppose! Any ideas on what's going on here?
Edit:
Working on a project right now and even though they are checked again autofades on splits won't work with the take system! Autofades on the beginning and end of new recordings aren't working either.
So they are both ticked now but are failing to work.
The SWS crossfade action started working again though.
