user6839710230915499 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 My playback suddenly became silent. I see all the meters jumping, but no audio. I found that I get the audio back when I mute a certain track. And when I unmute it, meter shows constant max level, clipping indicators are red, and no audio whatsoever. Automation, gain, volume all the settings I see on the track and in the console seem to be ok. What's going on, can somebody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I have seen this before. I'm not sure what causes it. I got a pop when I started the playback. I think it has to do with plugins. One of the times this happened it was caused by an older version off waves TG Mastering Chain VST3. 1)Is it an audio or midi project. 2) Does the track have plugins on it 3) Does the bus have plugins on it? 4) Do your cpu meters read really high? What do they read. (Track enabled and disabled?) 5) Do you hear a pop when you start "silent version" playback? 6) Did you already try rebooting your computer and restarting BLCakewalk?

user6839710230915499 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 1. Midi with some audio effects 2. Track is a Synth with no FX plugins 3. I'm noob, but as far as I can tell - no 4. CPU meter doesn't change either track muted or not 5. Nope, just silcence 6. Yes I did, it got worse, initially when I was rendering into MP3, this track would havce messed synth automation in one place, playback would play normal. I restarted and got into this problem. Overall I'm starting to thing it's synth problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user6839710230915499 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 It seems that turning ProChannel OFF and ON on that channel fixed things. Let me see if I can render MP3 the same way it sounds now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Generally when a VST plug acts this way I just delete it and move on to something that doesn’t screw up. There are lots of free or near to free VST’s that work just fine. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user6839710230915499 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 I went back to initial problem where the automation sounds very different in MP# from what I hear during playback... Turns out, it doesn't like jumps in automation, changing everything to linear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james rector Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Make sure the audio engine did not stop, and if it did restart it. Consider any recent VST plugins added and toggle those (or all) vst plug ins on an off and see if that changes the situation. Close / reopen the program, go to drivers in the preferences and make sure everything is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I was wondering if automation was the problem. Envelopes can get out of sorts from time to time. If you have a ton of data in the env, you could copy it to another envelope name then copy it back. The best solution might be to delete the env and just redo it. Hope you are getting it to work now. Look at envelopes pointed to prochannel - volume and gain. Edited August 22, 2021 by Max Arwood added info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
