very helpful - thanks everyone!

I use a laptop as my main computer, including CBB recording and editing. I've only ever used Dell and have started looking at new ones before Microsoft stops supporting windows 10. I see some better prices with other brands like hp. Does the brand really matter? I always thought it was mostly the specs like storage, ram, and speed. Thanks.

Thanks - everything was already enabled. I tested it on another track & it's normal. I didn't mention this is on a Melodyne-rendered track. Does that matter?

My cursor looks like 2 arrows pointing left & right, with a box underneath. Then it changed to 3 short horizontal lines with a vertical line above. What is this & how do I get back to the all-purpose smart tool? Thanks.

great - thanks!

at the start of 2 tracks

I went back to an old project & there are lock icons at the start of 2 tracks. They're not archived but no sound. What is that? Thanks.

Sorry for a basic question but I've forgotten how to mute takes so I don't hear the first as I play the 2nd. I'm recording SOS, store in separate trax, reuse existing lane, Thanks.

Great thank you!

This is unusual for me, it does have regional effects but that shouldn't make any difference. What am I missing? Thanks.

thanks will do.

I just joined distro kid, a distributor. Anyone have any experience with them? So far they seem good and have sent my music around to a number of streaming sites but of course promotion is always the missing piece. Thanks.

Thank you!

What is the easiest way to do this so there's no delay before the music starts? Thanks

Thanks everyone for your input!!

Thanks, I only use one instance of ozone 10 but that may be a workaround to just load a few individual modules instead of the entire plug-in. I only need a few.

It doesn't happen on every project but on many of them. I raised the buffer somewhat but still the same issue. Have other people found a way to deal with this? Thanks

I know this is a common issue and it's often automation Lanes but sometimes it's hard to find the cause. Mike from creative sauce had a work around to fix it but I can't find it again does anyone know what that was or have a simple way to work around this? Thanks

I do back up once a month, I'll check that but it may have just backed up the corrupted files. I'll try to restore and see what happens

Thanks - do you mean Cake Audio Finder or Privazer? If it's Cake AF, how else do you delete clips that are no longer needed? This is good, I'm getting an education here.

I have an SSD although it's starting to slow down.

I just used the cakewalk audio finder which is supposed to be safe and then once a month I use privazer, however it's spelled. I researched it well before using it and it's been very good for several years causing no problems. That's all.

Wow thanks for all of the input! I need to sit with this and think about any third party utilities, nothing comes to mind at the moment

I did run it but only a few files found. I thought it was safe. I did get a message that some files were corrupted. What causes that?

Thanks for the responses. Yes audio files, no external drive, I haven't moved or removed any unless I did something by accident
