Under A Mile

JFYI 2025.06 update1 (build48) still shows this issue

nope, not to do with metronome.

Yes, I have spent some time anonymising the track here , but this project still shows the problem. I removed the audio tracks that were originally there but not removed any fx FWIW. I wanted to include a version where the midi has been frozen to audio but it's too large to attach - you can try freezing else let me know how to send that on. I think you will find, that if you start removing take lanes, the playback will begin after shorter time the more that you remove. I think also flattening the midi comp will help too. I hope this helps find a solution. regards, Paul sonarPBdelay-anon.cwz

Debugging this : In the project where I first saw the problem, I had a MIDI track with >100 unflattened take lanes - set this to Archive and playback started instantly. Then I began culling the take lanes: I am pretty sure the delay in starting playback is proportional to the number of MIDI take lanes, as the delay got shorter as I removed more. The instrument happened to be Cakewalk SI Electric Piano. But I think it will occur with other instruments. On another project, the delay was maybe only 1sec, and the same thing happened. I also think flattening the comp helped. But, what I think could be an actual bug, is that when freezing a midi instrument, the number of takes lanes is still affecting the p/b start time. I would have thought that while frozen, the midi events on that track are irrelevant as we are just playing back a bounced audio track? And I am fairly sure this got worse with 2025.06

hi, since 2025.06 when I press play, it takes many seconds before it starts, but when I press stop it happens immediately. This is on existing projects. I tried a new Basic project and this did not occur and recording was ok there too. I disabled all FX and it still occurred. ESI U168T soundcard, Win11. regards, Paul

sorry I meant to post in 2025.06 feedback
