Thanks Matt.

In that case, the Instrument, Pattern, and Volume settings for the count-in won't be relevant, they only apply to MIDI drums.

Which audio driver type are you using? I've tried with tracks frozen and unfrozen, with MME, ASIO, and WAS, and still get a full count-in, but if everyone with this problem is using the same type, that might be a clue.

I'd also be interested in knowing whether changing audio driver types makes a difference when this problem occurs.

The next time this happens to anyone, if they could make a note of whether the VU meter on the mixer for the Drums track shows a signal for the missing count-in beats, that'll tell us if they're generating but can't be heard, or if they're not generating at all.

Thanks
