ok Noel point taken. however I'm still wondering if there is a way to avoid the audio drop out?

the 'bounce to clips' option in cakewalk has always been a little iffy and if over loaded can crash the system. I've recently obtaine bandlab and it is running alongside my original Sonar Platinum. Whereas the bounce to clips would baulk at a long multi clip track and crash in the bandlab system it crashes merely tasked to unite 2 short clips? why would this be. It actually completes the bounce to clips function followed immediately by an "audio drop out". I know there is a work around by saving before bouncing to clips but it still means closing cakewalk and opening it up again in order to continue with audio. I have a fairly well msi specced laptop which copes well in all other functions. I would very much welcome some advice as to how I might overcome this issue.

Sonar Platinum originally had a "clone track " option which was incredibly helpful creating a completely duplicated track adjacent to the original track content, fx etc. Bandlab does not seem to have this option only a "duplictate" which creates just a blank track. Sonar option was so useful to immediately creating an identical clone when say wanting to double up a vocal or instrument track saving the need to copy and paste with all the possibilities of subsequent tiny misalignments. Has Bandlab a clone function which I have not as yet found as I'v e only just morphed from my original Platinum to Bandlab? any advice would be very welcome.
