When in doubt....

Shut off the computer and everything connected to it including the external interface if any.

Reboot and try it again.

Load a different song. If the different song works.... try the other one that didn't.

Does it work now? If yes, you're good to go.

If not... Double check to be sure you're not soloing the drums. Or that you have everything else muted.

It's totally possible the song file was corrupted. I've had this happen once or twice. Don't know why it happens. But it does.

Simple fix.... recreate the song as a new song and give it a slightly different name. You can actually copy any audio from one project to the next.

Delete the first one.


Edit: WINDOWS VISTA? Wow that's really old.... but I shouldn't be saying much because I have a laptop that I use in my studio that actually still runs Vista too. But... here's some advice.... Any time you notice your computer is getting flakey..... such as the cursor starts jumping and sound is glitchy, or scrolling is jerky..... IMMEDIATELY.... LIKE NOW>>>>. Click on SAVE and shut down in a controlled manner if that is possible. If you don't, and continue to barge ahead on the project, you will have a glitch and likely a crash that's going to take all your work from the last time you saved with it. If you haven;t saved the project in that session, you just lost everything. Don't bother asking me how I know this. I run an older XP Pro 32 OS and as soon as it does that,,,,,, shutdown. ASAP.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
