Noel Borthwick Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thanks! Please also send the minidump for the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.S.T. Music Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Having same exact issue. Never had this problem before. I used to side chain whenever if the task called for it. Sent minidump. Hopefully we can figure it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Who did you send it to? Can you forward the project file and minidump to me? PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.S.T. Music Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I submitted via instructions from your post: I received an immediate automated response via email. Was this not my best option? I will PM you the minidump with details. Thank you kindly for the quick response Noel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Haha no that's fine I just don't receive those directly so asked you to PM me to expedite it. Thanks to the help of @spiffo and @M.O.S.T. Music I got dump files and finally now have a project file that can reproduce a crash with sidechaining. We should be able to address this once I figure out whats going on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I've fixed the crash that @spiffo reported to me. Thanks for your assistance and diligence in getting me a project. There was a potential race condition that could cause a crash when a sidechain was created under certain routing conditions. This is why it was so intermittent and only affected some people. In his project he had a synth track sidechaining to a compressor in another track. It also seemed more likely to happen if there were multiple synth tracks sourced by the same synth output. The take away from this is for problems like this its very important to try and get a repro and send us a dump/project. Its only because of spiffo's project that I was able to fix this issue. There are so many environmental permutations that it can be very hard for us to replicate or notice some of these problems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be said enough! Glad you were able to hunt down the bug and squash it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo SZN Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Holy crap, this is it. I've been having this weird audio dropout issue for over a year now where sidechaining (usually kick to bass, as is the most common use lol) has been causing the audio to crack fizzle and then dropout while the transport continues (thus not triggering a dropout error message) and I've had no idea what causes it until today finally realizing that it's happening when doing a sidechain send. For the longest time I was thinking it was just Addictive Drums 2 doing it, but as it turns out, it's just when I sidechain, for instance my kick bus to my bass bus. I usually use Sonitus Compressor since that's kind of The Certified Cakewalk Sidechain Comp™ but I just replicated it again with Kilohearts and Fabfilter's compressors as well. Glad I finally found the culprit, absolutely devastated to find out this has been an unresolved issue for years though. I'll keep it real Bandlab, we ain't paying for **** until you fix this lmao 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should start your own thread to investigate this. If you read the whole thing, you should know this was for a specific case that has been resolved. Do you get corresponding spikes in the Performance Meter with the crackles? What ASIO buffer size? If 128 samples or more, try enabling/disabling Plugin Load Balancing in Preferences > Audio > Playback and Recording - sometimes having it enabled costs more than it benefits. In general, I can't replicate your issue; sidechaining an instance of Sonitus compressor costs almost nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they mean "we who are experiencing issues with sidechaining in Cakewalk." Which doesn't include me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can actually contribute to getting the problem fixed once and for all. To quote Noel (from two posts above yours): "The take away from this is for problems like this its very important to try and get a repro and send us a dump/project." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo SZN Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 It's actually insane that this is still an issue 5 years later and now they want to charge people for Cakewalk again without fixing such a major glitch that consistently happens on a super fundamental essential feature.

You are posting in a thread for an issue that was resolved ages ago. If you have a new issue you need to provide a way for others to reproduce it as provide a simple project file. Most such problems can be very project specific so we typically need a project file to reproduce it. Also if this issue is important to you I suggest you download Sonar and try it since there have been many improvements to sidechaining. Even running it as a demo you should be able to test it. CbB is only receiving maintenance updates since a year and a half now. All active work is on Sonar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
