razor7music Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Hey Group-- I'm trying to remix an old project of mine, and now that I have the mix set where I want it, I keep getting dropouts during the mixdown. I've frozen tracks with FX on them, removed duplicate FX instances and sent them to a bus instead. I removed 64-bit processing too. I can play the track though with no issues, but when I try to bounce to tracks, a few seconds after it starts, it keeps dropping out. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks Edited November 14, 2019 by razor7music

The one thing that occurred to me is that maybe the last time I saved this project it was to my external SAS drive, and maybe it is mixing down to that drive now. Other than that, I'm at a loss. :-(
chuckebaby Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Are you getting a drop out code ? This should be pretty easy to figure out now with the new Improved audio dropout diagnosis. Here a list of the codes... http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.10.html 1

I don't get the pop-up window when I get the drop-out, like in the post you linked to. Just the tiny white drop-out indicator. Where do I get my drop-out logs to check the reason? Big thanks!
scook Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Dropout notification enhancements were added in 2019.09 Make sure notifications are enabled in preferences 1
razor7music Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 Well, it's not on my external SAS drive, and now it's dropping out when I play it instead of just when I mixdown. I had Notifications turned on already, but only lasting 2 seconds. I changed it to 10, but nothing is popping up. Is there anywhere else I can retrieve my drop-out reason code?
chuckebaby Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Hmm, im very surprised that you are not seeing drop out codes if you are running the latest Cakewalk by Bandlab. Though I hate recommending this, when exhausting all avenues, you could always contact support. Im just not sure we have exhausted all avenues yet. There is some more info here as well on drop outs http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=AudioPerformance.24.html Whats it like on new projects, or projects created a few weeks ago (rather than this remix from a while ago) We need to pinpoint weather it be, project specific or finding some similarity's across multiple projects. This would help with the problem solving.

I hate to sound like I'm throwing in the towel, but the "improvements" I've made in the remix aren't compelling enough to justify resolving the dropout issue. From a financial standpoint, you might say I'm at the point of diminishing return. So, I'm going to just let this one go. It's a 7 year old project and after remastering the original mix, I've actually improved the final outcome, so I'm OK with punting on this one. Thanks for your time. I'll mark the OP subject as "skipped" ?
HIBI Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) You might want to open the project after doing save as, to other drive with "Copy all audio with project" option. There might be difference... Edited November 15, 2019 by HIBI 1
RBH Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Have you had any other noticeable performance issues with the Layla 3G card since the update ?

Noel Borthwick Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 Are you using fast bounce? That mode never drops out. If the bounce fails you should get an error message.

Noel Borthwick Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 99% of plugins handle it with no problems. I never use anything other than fast bounce.
