@earhears Final thought, do you have CbB installed & have you tried Oz9 in CbB??

Took a look, that's quick... Is that a separate module, or whole mastering vst?

Well, if you get a chance, and only if you feel like it, try the standalone, create a project, import an audio file, close the project and don't save it, and see if deletes the imported audio. The support rep I reported this to, said she couldn't make that happen, but it does, so wondering if there's a remote chance it's just me 😮.

Don't have anything that needs iLok, so never have used it, nor inclined to at this point. I did actually send a link for a CbB dump of test project with nothing but 2 Oz9 VSTs that took 30 secs to load and that was the last I heard. Another weirdness was with the standalone app, by the way I've got the Standard not the Advanced. If I launch the app, create a new project and import an audio file, but close the project and don't save the changes it should delete the imported audio, but it doesn't. Oz7s VST loads quick, and the app deletes unsaved project imports. Have you found any other glitches?

Must be iLok...

Your OS is the same as mine, there are multiple "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64)" versions and each has a version number mine is 8.0.61000, you can find yours by looking in Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features under Name "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64)" the last column is the "Version". If yours differs from mine that may be significant, on the other hand authorization via iLok might improve load times... Who knows 😁?

Hmmm... I don't need a tool to uninstall my 2005 x64. Regardless there's no problem with multiple versions, but the question still remains... What's your version, as before you'll find it in "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features"?

Well it's a nice thought @earhears, but I'm not sure . I think if there's a significant difference for your 2005 x64 & my 2005 x64 then you might be onto something, otherwise... What is that screen print you show, coz it don't look quite like my Apps & Features in settings? Anyway my version is 8.0.61000 what's yours, you'll find it in "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features"?

Hmmm, probably a dropout, no explicit cancel was done, in fact no manual activity at all during the render, maybe Noel knows??

1. Prior to CbB 2019.11 on a bounce to tracks, Fast Bounce off, the Now Time line would move with render time, now it stays at the start of the selection time interval, is this a specific 2019.11 change? 2. Occasionally on a bounce as per 1. above, I'll get the "Render operation was cancelled" popup even though it wasn't cancelled, why and what causes this annoying unexpected cancellation? Any answers welcome...

Thanks @Noel Borthwick, I am and I have... The support rep wanted a dump. First is there any objection to sending a dump of CbB and second, this would be after the fact, the load would have occurred, would there be any significant value to the exercise in your opinion?

@noynekker Supported Hosts: Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9–10, Pro Tools 12.8-2019, FL Studio 20, Cubase 9–10, Nuendo 10, Wavelab 9, Sound Forge Pro 13, Sound Forge Mac 3, Studio One 4, REAPER 5, Reason 10, Audition CC 2019, Premiere Pro CC 2019, MASCHINE 2, Komplete Kontrol, Bitwig Studio 3, Final Cut Pro X. Guess we're not in there... But, Cubase from some forum I saw, had the same issue with v9_01, maybe Noel knows something??

In both the last Splat and current CbB, the latest Ozone 9 VSTs (2 & 3) have excessive load times, this is on W10 1903 latest update. For example a test project that had only 2 output buses each with an instance of Ozone 9 took 30 seconds plus to load. Is anyone else experiencing this with CbB??

Thanks Noel will see what is possible. FYI though 1. It is sporadic & not predictable, the error code is always 1. 2. It occurs most often when performing some activity in the tracks pane e.g. "opening or closing a folder" or "maximizing, minimizing or resizing a track". 3. It may not be specifically Aux track related, but the Aux tracks in this current project have a lot of FXs and it might be, I'm guessing, related to "Always Stream Audio Through FX" being checked which if I understand correctly continuously streams silence. And, as if on cue, just 5 minutes ago I launched CbB and opened the project and the dropout toast error code 1 immediately popped up just as the gui rendered... Further in this particular instance pressing play stalled, with another dropout error code 1, recurrently. Had to restart CbB & reopen the project 🙄... Just out of curiosity, no biggie, did you get a chance to glance at that crash dump? Many thanks...

Mr @Colin Nicholls, I just thought misery loves company... 😪 Meanwhile under Windows 1903 & CbB 2019.09 I'm getting the occasional dropout while doing some activity in the track pane, no audio (play stopped, no audio input), no midi input (keyboard off) and no midi editing and the reason code is so far (1) : "Audio processing took longer than the buffers allotted time slice", which is a puzzle, unless "Always Stream Audio Through FX" being checked has something to do with it and... Dum ta dum dum... Aux tracks, of which there are several, but only being fed by synth outputs that have no midi inputs assigned and echo off on those synth tracks. So my question to you is do you have Aux tracks in your projects that get or got the toast?? I'm sure you've been following forum "dropout saga" as I have 😴...
