mp3DirectCut processing not selection, but whole file

[coyote]

mp3DirectCut worked great for me yesterday.

Today, even though like yesterday I'm making my selection according to directions in manuals*, my processing (Gain = "silence") is being applied not just to the selection, but to the whole file. This happened to me once yesterday by mistake somehow; but today I can't figure out how NOT to do it, and it's driving me crazy.

Can anyone please tell me what I might be doing wrong?

(I read---somewhere--how to avoid whatever it is I'm doing wrong, but now I can"t find it.)

I finally stumbled upon an answer. It seems that the issue occurs only when I select a region less than 5 or 6 frames wide.

Which is fine, I can expand my selection to 6 frames in this case.

Yes, may be Gain fails then. This method ist obsolete by the way. It's recommended to set the volume by adding cues and adjusting the level with the grey handles.
