Eddie, I'm really torn here. We've corresponded in the past and I like you yet you can be such a pia sometimes it drives me crazy. Oth, you're not the only friend I've got who's like that either and this is just a forum. Soooo much easer if we were all sitting around having a beer and figuring this out.

I'll say this. I've reported for years now that when I'm heavy into working RB, laying down tracks, doing a lot of midi edits in the piano roll window, moving track, cutting/pasting, doing some audio edits that I have to save/close/reopen every hour to hour and a half because I'll get absorbed in something and then suddenly notice one of many small anomaly's I won't describe here. They're weird, they change but I know when it happens sort of like the dog telling you she has to go out. I know it's time to shut it down and reopen and it's all good for another 90 minutes or so. If, after doing a lot of work, I left RB running for 14 hours I would be totally shocked and amazed if it even did anything. I think I would get a big yellow box saying **** you, leave me alone you inconsiderate ********* I've been sitting here bored out of my gourd all night!! Sorry ladies, somehow I think of RB as female.<Grin> She requires some care and attention. As do they all btw.

Do exactly what Rharv described, and I mean literally. Call him if you have to, he knows what he's doing, reset everything as he said and you should be good to go but also do what I said and don't work it for too long a period of time without closing/reoopening. It just needs to reset itself on a regular basis. Give it some fiber.

Well I find RB buggy too, but its no real problem to me (after all its to put it crudely biab built on top of powertracks) For those of us who consider it a bit buggy and its not everyone just learn to live with the problem, it may never be sorted out!

It will do a lot of things that other DAWS can't do generate realtracks etc, and as I save often its no big deal to open it up again.

I think its a bit crazy not to reboot the computer every day or so and can only lead to problems, if I remember correctly Eddie the last major problem was because you failed to reboot your computer (sorry If I am wrong in that)

You do seem to have a very complicated setup so maybe more things to go wrong.
