Mark Morgon-Shaw Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I thought it might be a one off issue with a Project or Plugin but it's also happening on stuff that was fine pre-update to 2020.11 Basically File-Export-Audio will generate a " catastrophic failure " error. I read a couple of other posts where they had the same issue and switched off " Fast Bounce " as suggest there and bingo...it exports just fine I also found I could the handy little Export Module in the Control Bar..and I was able to bounce out the mix as long as I left it on " Project " and not " Selection " So I am working around it for now but it's a bit annoying !

marcL Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Fortunately I cannot reproduce this! Because exporting either a mix or single tracks is crucial for me I did some short tests. All is okay! It seems it has something to do with your export or project settings or with a plugin. Maybe if others have a similar problem it can be found out what is the cause 😉. But it seems that it is no general failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will. Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 What @marled said. I've created about 4 folder stems so far with the new 2020.11 update - with ease. Only thing I wish was available with Exports in CbB, is " Album Cover TAGS" on export and a "Shortcut Keyboard" for Exporting. (Wait - let me do a quick run through the keyboard shortcut TAB in preferences. A shortcut might be possible already.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 @Mark Morgon-Shaw are you sure that its new to this update - did you try a rollback? If its a new issue can you share the project file that has the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a new issue can you share the project file that has the issue? Hi Noel I've tried a few things this afternoon just by process of elimination .. Bypass All FX - same result Switch Off All VSTI's in synth rack - same result Delete Arranger track - Success !...Project will now export normally Add New Arranger track ( plus selection..just one arranger region for whole track ) - Problem re-appears. I went back and tried it on a few older projects from Feb/March time ( before the arranger was added to CBB ) and those projects seem to behave normally either way. So I am not sure - Maybe it's something in my own template that's misbehaving when the Arranger track is present. I will see if I can narrow it down.

Noel Borthwick Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 @Mark Morgon-Shawcan you try rolling back to the last release just to verify for sure whether this is really a new symptom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi, I seem to be having similar difficulties. The recorded tracks are fine but as soon as I export them to, for example, a mastering project, I start to get random audio dropouts. I have tried a variety of ways to do this but get the same result. Can you help with this frustrating problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I dont think you are describing the same issue in this thread. Please post in the main 2020.11 feedback thread with a description of the problem and if you are getting dropouts list the dropout code. Exporting cannot create dropouts.

I can , if you can point me to the best method I've just had another epiphany though..... I have been using the Arranger to make it easier to select the region for the Export , so I just drag it out from just before the start of the music and long enough past the end point for everything to fade out. This makes it very easy for repeatable exporting of stems and alt mixes. as they all need to be exact and it's faster than using markers for example. Therefore when I've made my Export selection I've just clicked on the Arranger region which has selected all tracks in one click and whilst it's all highlighted gone to the File-Export-Audio screen. It would seem that it's the Arranger region being selected / highlighted / in focus or however you want to describe it at the time of the File-Export-Audio menu being chosen that is causing the issue. If I un-select the arranger region all exports work as expected. Attached pic of selection that causes issue.

msmcleod Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 @Mark Morgon-Shaw - can you PM @Jonathan Sasor with the cwp file? I've tried exporting some of my projects using an arranger section to select the region, and it's all working fine for me. There must be something else causing this.

Noel Borthwick Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 We'll investigate and fix it. Don't worry about the message there is nothing catastrophic. Its just an overly paranoid translation of a standard Microsoft error code that just means an operation failed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanAsher Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I seem to be having the same issue in the last few weeks. I thought I had tracked down the cause to be plugin alliance vertigo vsm- 2 as I did trial and error with all plugins on a project and that seemed to be the culprit. I reinstalled cake and the plugin then everything worked fine for a few days. Now it’s rearing it’s ugly head again. Get the catastrophic error on export. Whether or not vertigo is on the project now. If I don’t select fast bounce it goes through the process and seems fine but then you open up the bounced audio and it’s usually cut off part way through. Is there something I can do to provide what’s going on in my situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanAsher Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Not the newest machine Windows 10 pro build 18363.1256 intel i5 cpu 4gb ram (more on the way) yes I need upgrade. seems to be just this particular project. I just successfully bounced another (a more plugin heavy project with the Vertigo plug in on it btw) l will try to rebuild this problem one but keeps happening seemingly randomly to me to various projects when exporting lately.

David Thiel Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I am getting trash on exporting projects to a .wav file. I can assure you that this was not my intent. I use Cakewalk daily for my work. This started happening with the most recent build. If I freeze tracks they are fine in the project but the exported mix sounds like this. I've turned off the limiter and the reverb. I've tried three different export formats. I've exited and entered the cakewalk. same result I've changed the audio buffer (though that should not have anything to do with it, I'm grasping at straws). It does not crash so while related to this thread it is not the same bug. I'm not sure where the previous version of Cakewalk is as I would try rolling back to that.
