Moving loop range while playing audio gives a disk error

[skylernbass]

Hi. I’m having an issue on latest Ardour 8.4 where when i try to move a loop range so it fills a larger space of the timeline. I get an error message saying that my disk is not able to keep up with ardour and the sounds of my timeline are desynced.

This happens when the section has played once and only when i move the range while i’m playing audio

I hope I was clear enough. English is not my native language so i’m attaching a short youtube video i just uploaded showing the issue

That should be impossible, so Ardour interpreted this as “Not enough data can be read from disk in time”, which makes this “disk too slow” message appear. The workaround was to trim the region end of affected regions in the session by a tiny bit. The underlying issue how this could happen is still being investi…
