Little thing that I am sure is something I'm doing but I don't know what it is, exactly.

Hi! Good to see you all over here in these new fancy digs. Lemme know if any of the board operators need a donation and I'd be happy to pitch in to help keep this going. Hope your holiday season is going great.

Since version 2 or 3 I've had this happen, but it finally became obvious to me last night that it's not just my system. This doesn't preclude me from being the problem, but I thought I'd ask if it happens to others.

Does anyone else have a situation when using the Eraser Tool where the cursor automatically returns to zero? I figured it was something I was hitting while jumping between the Slice Tool (pressing 3) and the Eraser Tool (pressing 4) and clicking while trying to move fast, but I edited drums on a different system that has none of my custom keyboard shortcuts last night and it kept happening.

Essentially I am editing space between tom hits and I keep finding myself back at zero and having to navigate back to my editing position. It's frustrating and doesn't *always* happen every time I do it, but it does happen and it's annoying.

If nobody else has this issue, no problem. But if you do or have had it in the past, let me know? Thank you!

Never used the erase tool, I just hit the delete key to delete events.

When I work on vocals I lower the sound in the the space between words if there is noise, that's also how I deal with sibilants and plosives.

I just cut it up between words and grab the volume handle at the top and lower it. It can be used at the start and end of words to reduce hard T's and S's.

So you move the song position when you click the erase tool?

I think a lot of people value this forum, and want to see it continue. Fortunately, there is a way to donate.

Hi Tacman! Thanks for replying. I love the sound of my de-esser and appreciate the simplicity of the hardware so I'm not really fretting about cutting up words and changing volume handles but thank you for the advice.

For drums, I tab to transient and slice the event up using either the Split at Cursor command that I mapped to a command or the slice tool. Then I hit 4 and click. Often, the playhead (cursor) jumps back to the beginning of the song. This is what I would like to avoid; the playhead jumping back to the beginning of the song automatically.

Hitting the delete key would require a region to be selected and Studio One automatically selects the region which is located after the slice instead of before. As a result this would require a few more key strokes which, admittedly doesn't seem like a lot, but I'm attempting to track this issue and try to figure out what *I* am doing wrong. Also, I am also often playing the song listening to the drums while slicing, so this would be even less convenient with the oddity of the scroll feature. I don't like region hopping while editing, so I'd just prefer to use the tools provided.

However, this was more "has anyone else experienced this" query and less of a "I need help editing" post as I am trying to track down what exactly I am doing wrong. I don't think Studio One is in the wrong here.
