SF9d - I highlight a small section (0.3s) of a 44k1/24/s file that is peaking at -0.2dBFS. If I apply even -50dB attenuation with the volume tool, the peak only goes down to -6dBFS ! Repeat and it stays the same.

Any ideas ?

Do you get the same symptoms without and fades / with fades?

Just tried same process on a different file on different computer + all oK. Will try to pin down whether it's the file itself confusing SF, or something unique to that install..

Well, went back to original computer and setr up same scenario - wav opened in SF from CDA. Could not repeat the problem.

To recap now that I've thought it out more clearly - the first time the waveform dropped by 6dB (the set amount).

The second time it did not reduce, but something changed - I think the polarity reversed, which is what is subsequently did each time I hit Volume|OK , even when the attenuation was increased to -50dB for the selected glitch.

Maybe I was just drunk ?!!!
