AVID AUDIO BUG



I found my first annoying bug in Avid 3.0, and it pertains to audio. I drop a clip into the timeline, then adjust the audio with Audio Mixer tool...and nothing happens. I can drop it to NIL and nothing changes...still loud as ever. Now, talking to another editor here he figured out how to smack it on the side to get it to work (I love collaboration between editors). You need to adjust the audio on the SOURCE side...just jiggle it a little. Then the audio in the timeline goes to where it should go.

Just annoying.

Is this in 3.05 or 3.0? I do this about 900 times a day in 3.0 and haven't seen this problem.
