This seems a likely candidate. I've just discovered that it's not happening on *all* projects. Will do some investigations.

Neither of those things. Export starts a few mins into the timeline in this case. And exporting as wav.

Using last version of CbB. Am just doing some experiments with masters for an album where one track flows seamlessly into the next. I have a solution for the time being, and will assemble it in HOFA instead of Cakewalk, but I have discovered something odd. Seemingly no matter what I do, I end up with 0.033 seconds of silence added to the start of the file. Am exporting by selecting only a clip in Cakewalk, and the audio data in that clip starts right away. Anyone ever come across this?

Yeah, pretty essential feature this for how I work.

It might be time to get over the discontinuation of Project five two decades ago.

I'd like to distance myself from any themes of "cakewalk are lying cowards" and "kids don't make real music any more" emerging in this thread. I don't believe either of those things.

The thing that puts me off the subscription is that I use a DAW to make a living, every day. And given how erratic what I make a living at is, cash flow problems do happen. So if my main work software is going to lock up and stop me working abruptly because of a missed payment, that's not good. May seem a fringe case, and it is, but these things do happen.

It's been in for years. My screen captures in this thread are from CbB.

I find save time is mostly dependent on the number of edits in audio tracks. Extremely dense MIDI data can also contribute. The actual length of the project time wise doesn't really matter. Say for example you had 8 tracks of unedited audio, of let's say a two hour concert. The project file for that is tiny, just eight track numbers / names and start times, more or less. And the save time will be really quick. Where on my audiobook work, I can often have a single track of audio with hundreds of tiny edits over a half hour chapter, and that will save significantly slower.

I agree with this. Also, one of my use cases is audiobook and podcast editing, and it's a tangible slow down having to check for phantom marks like this.

I'm not sure about that. There isn't a click there, so there shouldn't be a detail to highlight, really. Though next time it happens, I'll see what turning the outline on and off does.

Got a video clip here. Observe the spike appearing and disappearing as I zoom in and out. Though there's not much consistency as to what levels it appears and disappears at. 2024-09-01 21-01-48.mp4

I see this all the time, though I've not got any screen shots. I'll try to remember to come back to this thread next time it happens. I find that these glitches disappear and re-appear at different zoom levels, which might be a clue as to the cause.

Every day, I sit down to work in Sonar, and the secrecy gnaws at me, bedevils my every effort... What is Noel's shoe size? I HAVE TO KNOW. I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.
