Bug Report: Uncheck "Single bounce per track" freeze option is broken

[kc23]

Hi

On this option, documentation says:

"Single Bounce Per Track
Check this if you want to create a single clip for all the bounced audio. If you don’t check this, each separate clip on a track creates a separate clip when you freeze the track."

However, when unchecking "Single bounce per track" option in the Freeze Options dialog box, freeze function will only bounce first clip and make disappear remaining clips in the track. It has been like this for several past versions of CW, including present 2020.07 Early Access version. Already tried this in two different computers with same behavior on both.

To verify:

-Open a track with several audio clips in it.

-Right click on freeze button to open options dialog box. (Fig 1)

-Uncheck "Single bounce per track" option. Hit "Ok". (Fig 2)

-Click Freeze button. CW Freezes only the first clips, and remaining clips disappear. (fig 3)

-Dotted line indicating presence of clips remains, but they are not visualized and can´t be played. (fig 4)

-Press Control-Z to undo, CW unfreezes only first clip, remaining clips still can´t be visualized, even though dotted lines indicate their presence. (Fig 5)

-Upon opening take lanes, disappeared clips can be visualized only in main track lane but not on take lane (Fig 6), but still can not be played. (Fig 7)

As stated, have tried this in two different computers with exactly the same behavior, even after complete system reformatting/restart. and clean install. It doesn´t matter what audio clips are present. It happens with and without plugins instantiated in the fx box.

This has been happening since at least the last three CW updates, including present 2020.07 EA version.

Please fix this evident bug, as it has been always working and has ceased to function, and is clearly not intended behavior.

Thanks.

 

P.S.: Also, please fix the External Insert plugin, for it to have true mono routing, as requested in this thread:

 

Thanks.
