tried that ! the 1 1 0 setting didn't help and the offset was the same in both files

tried it once again with just one track and same result - played fine with the two bar drum lead in but the bar lines are off. paste correctly whole track, offset the seme etc

does the same in PowerTracks so i'm not sure what's going on

must be something to do with the new file as exporting one track as a wav then reimporting it, it lines up perfectly
