Odd Audio Export Issue - Exported Track Modified

[KBONEATL]

I was exporting tracks to send off to mix/master and found that there are some areas that the actual audio has been clipped or reduced when I re-imported the track to verify its integrity... 

I have tried every plausible option when exporting but I'm still getting the same result.  I have removed all automation lanes, effects, buses, etc.. so that these are clean and "Pure" for mix and master.  I tested with automation, without, 64bit vs not, 44.1 , 48.1, etc.. and keep getting the same result.

This is the first track of 40+ so I'm slightly concerned I have to very every track as I export them.  You'll notice on the image where the small part is different, and it happens a few more times in the track.

Experiment with the bounce buffer size. Try same as playback.  And other numbers.

Does it sound audibly different or is it just a drawing anomaly?

If it sounds different, I would guess you have some compression/limiting operating out of sight in the Prochannel.

If it's just a drawing anomaly, my first guess would be something to do with tempo changes which affect waveform drawing.

Beyond that, it's hard to surmise without getting hands-on with a copy of the project or at least seeing some full-screen screenshots.

Maybe strip a project down to one track that demonstrates the issue and share it.

Looks like it was a buffer setting, when I changed it to 200, or anything other than playback value it works as needed!  I'll review my buffer sizes again but with this new computer 7800X and 32 GB's of 6000mz RAM buffer problems shouldn't be a problem. 

What are modern buffer sizes with high end DAW hardware?

It did sound like the audio portions that were modified had like a cut/drop sound so it was affecting it.  My channels were totally clear and it was the buffer setting that seemed to resolve it.
