Have you ever ahd an Aux track go silent?

I have not use aux tracks much.  I have a habit of not using new features till they have been out for a good while.  I started using aux track a little lately.  I have a project that the aux tracks keeps going dead. No sound at all.  All the ins and outs are set up correctly.   The aux tracks were just fine until I saved and reopened the file.  When it was reopened is when I noticed that the tracks sounds were missing. Not just 1 aux but several aux tracks not working.

Any Ideas about what could have caused this?? Has anyone else ever had this happen to you?

Thanks

I have! A couple of times now, I'd send three Tom tracks to an Aux, which worked great for a session or two. Then I'd open it up later and no toms. No matter what I tried, of course with all the settings and ins/outs correct they just would not sound. Sends toms directly to mains: sound, make a NEW Aux track and send the toms there: sound.

It works like any audio track and has always been this way.

Typically tracks using a patch point as their input, such as an aux track, never record; they simply stream the data they receive.

To hear this signal requires enabling input echo.

This is why an aux track has input echo enabled by default.

Yes, I've seen this before. Very rarely, random enough I don't bother and just create new aux, reassign, etc.

Seem to recall it happening on some occasional track templates  (multiple bax>aux track w/ misc processing). Aux track is dead for no reason.

( Yes I know about the echo being on for aux tracks to work)

Sorry to not get back with you any sooner.  My wife has been sick - dealing with that.  I can not find the track.  I think it has something to do with having one track soloed while freezing another track pointed to an aux. Or freezing at a time where cakewalk is in an unstable conditon (midi tools lose function)  I have been trying to duplicate - but unable to (Except the midi tools This song has to be  reopened every once in a while when editing midi.  After a period of time working on the song,  the midi editing tools are unable to select notes.   It s a large project - I think that is part of the problem too.  The track could have been frozen when cakewalk was in this unstable state - when the midi tools quit functioning.  I could send it to you to see if you can figure anything out with it.

 

(ADDED - This is the same project that the AUX was silent)
