Freezing a Track saves silence, when its ouput is a solo'ed bus

[Sunshine Dreaming]

When you create a track 1 (e.g. using TTS-1), put some MIDI notes in there and then add a Bus "D" (which outputs then to Master).  

Then set the outout of that track 1 to  Bus "D".  

Then SOLO the Bus "D"

Play back; You hear the output of TTS-1

Then freeze track 1.

=> the created waveform is pure silence, although its routed to Bus "D" which is SOLO and although playback works for it...

See in this example project:

Hmmm... indeed, I can confirm this issue. Did a quick test in ye olde SONAR Platinum 17.10, and it worked as expected there. Not sure  how long ago this got broken in CbB, but probably not just the most recent release.

Next I followed what I thought would be intuitive based on my inexperience with freezing:

• soloed the instrument track (which automatically soloed the midi track).
• froze the instrument track.
• saw the waveform and listened to the rendered audio now on the instrument track.

 

Yes, I also noted the soloing the instrument allowed it to freeze properly, but it shouldn't be necessary. As noted, freezing with the instrument outputting to a a soloed bus worked in the last release of Platinum.

Are you on the latest update?  It's broken in 2022.11 as well.

yes I'm on 2023.09 (075) and have not knowingly encountered this situation before 2023.09;

I can repro this issue, but unfortunately the ship has sailed for CbB, so it'll have to be fixed in Sonar.

In the meantime, make sure both the track and bus are solo'd.
