Try turning on the option for clips following selection. I posted a screenshot here.

I use a synology NAS and it has already bailed me out twice. Since you set it up with redundancy if one drive dies you can simply replace that one drive and get back all your data. Of course the entire NAS can die in a disaster so you need to have cloud storage or redundant NAS backup as well. I use crashplan for cloud storage as well. However since my projects live both on the NAS and the HD there is a low chance of needing the cloud. A NAS is well worth the investment. You can get one with the hard drives for around $600 depending on how much storage you want of course.

@Daniil Potseluev I heard from Celemony that this bug is fixed for their upcoming release.

Both crashes are in the EchoDelay plugin while loading your project. These dump files have nothing to do with track freeze operations. Did you send the correct files? Unhandled exception at 0x00000001427E8941 (EchoDelay.dll) in _05202019_144105.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000000000D79FDB0. One thing to try if the above crashes continue is to turn off "Show project load notifications" in Options | Display and see if it improves.

Are you running CbB as an admin? There are cases when Windows blocks drag and drop of files (for some misinformed security reasons)

Yeah I see that however CbB has arbitrary clip automation envelopes, not a static gainstage like there. My point is its somewhat harder to apply to the waveform. If it was a simple gainstage we'd have done it a long time ago.

Its not the same thing. That's clip fades which already visually affect audio in CbB. Drag the fade handles on the left or right edge of the clip and it will affect the waveform. I think the request is for visual clip gain envelopes which is different from the picture.

Yes please send a dump.

I don't see any issue following your steps with Melodyne Studio. Which version are you running? In any case this would be a Melodyne report and not CbB related so you should contact Celemony directly. >>4. In melodyne window menu go to edit / cancel I assume that you meant edit Undo here since there is no cancel menu item.

Its already logged in our database so we'll look into it at some point.

@Moving Air Productions please repro the hang and send me the dump file. That should show what is preventing the app from closing. Also if possible send me just the project file (.cwp). There are instructions here on how to capture the dump file from the hung application.

Do you have a lot of tracks with automation write enable set in the project? Also if you go back to a prev version of the project does the issue come back?

The files were all zero length. Please upload them again

If Cakewalk closes (not in task manager) all file handles will be released. While the app is open its possible that a file could be still open if its still referenced in the clipboard. i.e. if a clip was copied you can close the project and still paste it into a newly opened project.

Why not just select the track by clicking on the number - that should select all the clips on that track. Then choose bounce to clips to combine them all.

To export a MIDI clip through a synth the output needs to go to an audio track so bounce to clip isn't the appropriate command. That will bounce the MIDI as MIDI.Well you don't even need to export audio. Assuming its an instrument track just select the MIDI clip you want and choose bounce to track, pick source category as Tracks and bounce to a new track. This will give you the MIDI rendered through that instrument track. If its a split instrument with MIDI and synth tracks then select the clip you want followed by selecting both the synth track and the MIDI track. Then bounce to track as above. Both will give you what you want. We could add a render command to a MIDI clip but it would require specifying where you want the rendered audio to go.

Do you have a dump file for this?

@ØSkald Your dump is referencing the 25.03.0.20 which is the March release. Can you please retest this with the latest May release? If it still crashes/hangs then send a new dump

Thanks @Daniil PotseluevPotseluev I will pass on your feedback to Celemony about Melodyne essential. If it's not possible then we can consider making the new behavior optional. You have Melodyne version 4 correct?

This is expected behavior. Please see the release notes: All ARA 2 clips now share a common view. So navigating across multiple clips is as simple as clicking on a clip. The view data in Melodyne will automatically change to track the selected clip. Is is a lot faster than double clicking clips to close and reopen a new view. In ARA 2 plugins there is no need to open a specific instance of the editor for each clip since Melodyne knows how to display the current clip data via ARA 2. Make sure that "Follow Clip Selection" is enabled in Melodyne and as you click the viewed data will automatically change. See screenshot. Also make sure you are running the latest version of Melodyne 4.

Its not a known issue. Please follow these instructions to capture a dump file for the hang and send me the link so we can know what is hanging.

Glad you find it useful @RBH. We spent a lot of time finding and tracking each case where slip editing was inaccurate. There are a ton of permutations we had to consider when you throw combinations of editing edges, stretching, tempo maps and also throw ARA into the mix. We want editing to be as solid as possible since it's a primary function. Let us know if you find any problem cases we may have missed.

Melodyne is a clip effect of you are using it via region effects so there is nothing to delete if you bounce to clip. Freezing the entire track will also disable the plugin but it is a non destructive option unlike bounce to clip. With the latest update and I'd you are running the latest version of Melodyne your should see greater stability do it may not be necessary to freeze. I doubt your issue is related to Melodyne fwiw. Are you seeing this issue even after restarting and is it only on one of your projects? If so can you send us a link to download it?

If you ever run into a crash please refer to this FAQ on problem reporting for a step by step for minidumps.

@Volker Schmid I tried to repro this and cannot see any timing drift using elastique or reproduce your crash. I made a manual click from a loop and set the tempo to match that. Then I stretched it using elastique to 100% of its original tempo. It plays back perfectly in sync with the audio metronome. Can you upload your test project and share it with me so we can look into it? There is something else going on.
