Description James Crook 2010-01-28 15:19:30 UTC

GA: Confusing if you have other tracks not renamed from default because you cannot tell which is which unless you know ordering is done by track position. Note: If you "Split Stereo Track" the fault is corrected (even if you "Make Stereo Track" again).

(In reply to James Crook from comment #0)
I don't even know what "Advanced mixing options" are.

More importantly is this not superseeded by recent work on the labelling of split stero tracks and the pan sliders.

Comment 2 James Crook 2017-08-07 09:10:17 UTC

*** STEPS UPDATED ***

The 'Advanced Mixing Options' Dialog adds - R and -L to channels of stereo tracks and hard-panned-left-or-right mono channels.  This is correct desired behaviour.

The 'underlying' issues is that there is no numbering of auto-named tracks, nor a check that the user has not named all their tracks 'foo'.  That is a design decision, and is OK.  Therefore CLOSED INVALID.
