Thanks for the tips, Jim. I do both of these things and I still get crashes.

Yesterday was another example things that shouldn't happen. I tried to use the Time Stretch feature. First it told me that I was going to run into existing data, so I shortened the percentage of stretch. Again, same message. So I shortened again and proceeded. It did the stretch but it left a gap, even though it had told me there wasn't room. The yellow box never went away. And the program locked up. And to top it off, crash. This feature has never worked for me without a problem.

I'm pretty sure I am moving to Reaper. I wanted to finish this project before making the change, but I don't think I can.

Thanks to all who have posted. I echo the comments about this group. You folks are great.
