[SOLVED] How Do I Find - Fix End Of Project Data?

[JnTuneTech]

I have a few older projects that stopped ending at the last observable event, at some point in working on them over the years. I have tried & tried to find any events timestamped at the point where the transport actually stops, but to no avail. Maybe I am using the wrong tools? Event Viewer is my main resort.

In one current instance, I found all events close to the end of the last musical data points shown by doing select all - in track view, then looking at Event Viewer. There were only a few tracks with envelopes, that had envelope data showing, -they looked like nodes that were not important, so I deleted them. -After that, the transport would "end" at about the farthest point of all those points I just deleted. -Project would stop there. -But, I saved, closed, re-opened said project, and as soon as I started the transport, the asterisk for project changes appeared. I repeated my earlier procedure, and the nodes I had deleted were back. Project "end" was not how I had saved it. -Any info on what does that, and how I might better avoid this?

Try

• Move Now to the expected end of the project 
• Select ALL
• Select From=Now
• Enable Ripple Edit All
• Press the DELETE key
• Turn Ripple Edid off

Thanks so much @scook - that did the trick! -Sorry it took a while to check, the project is fairly long, and I wanted to play it back to check all my existing material. -All good.

I still get an asterisk for project change at the end of playback, but that is not an issue for me. -Oh, and I did add the step - Turn OFF Ripple Edit - at the end of your instructions  - for future readers.  -I know there were other posts about this out there, but I couldn't easily reference them and find this, in case you've already posted it.  -Do you know, is there some hidden data that determines "end of project"?  -I guess for now, I will just use this method for setting that when I have a problem, -thanks again.

Good news

I'll add the ripple off

 

The DAW plays through the last bit of data in the project.

There is nothing else to indicate end of project.

The most often culprits are MIDI and automation data but it could be a very short audio clip or something else not easily seen.
