again: this is fucker at the mixing desk type behaviour. so, i should be as clear as i can.

i can't be in a situation where files save differently than they exist. i'm fairly open when it comes to perception issues and whatnot. but this is just broken. there's no other way to describe it. it's just busted.

imagine the following scenario: every time you take a picture of a golden retriever, it saves as a black lab - so that when you open it in photoshop (or whatever the kids use nowadays) it's a picture of a black lab instead of a golden retriever.

"but labs are similar to retrievers!"

perhaps. but they are not the same thing. and if you take a picture of a retriever, you want a fucking picture of a retriever, not a picture of a lab.

further, if you want to edit the picture you're going to have different results. they're different colours, with different inversions that fit against different backgrounds.

it's just something i can't ignore. it's absolute file corruption. unquestionably. with no ambiguity. no grey area. files always need to null the same way every single time.

and, as mentioned: the fact that the initial constructions always null with the tracks i have saved indicates the way it's saving is just flatly wrong.
