Hi, as you can see & hear there are pops at the start of end of loop
(in case you do not notice - at 0:50 you can see and hear pops in the master fader)
my goal is to create midi track > bounce to audio (stem export) and to be able to perfectly cancel with original track. (i’m not thinking about plugins which have variations in reproduction) This refers only to plugins which are consistent in midi playback - no audio changes between each loop iteration…
So the audio cancels perfectly with the synthesized MIDI, except at region boundaries where the audio-track fades (as per your preference), but the MIDI does not.
I expect it will cancel perfectly when you disable Loop Fades. Those only apply to Audio. MIDI data never has any discontinues at loops that would require fades).
Hi, Robin
i’ve tried with all options, no luck, as shown in this video:
my personal thought is that audio fades cause this… not sure if they are truly deactivated
sidenote: if you deactivate fade out in active looping - it will nudge region playback - as you can hear at 0:20
i can confirm - i duplicated 2 midi tracks - inverted polarity on one - they null out completely, no pops
i duplicated both renders of one midi track - they null out without pops, but when nulling audio with midi - it has pops
as you can hear and see - declick only when transport stars and stops - removes initial pop
the pop in the beginning is not audible when loop is disengaged - but click at the end is audible no matter what… also - stopping playback in middle of auditioning can ‘appear’ not ideal, as on stop - it causes one track to stop playing abruptly whereas other is still playing - and at the very stop - you can hear only one track playback - instead of completely nulling - even when stopping…
take a look:
this is my goal (i can provide example in other DAW if unclear)
increasing loop range - creates even more inconsistency by phasing out audio… (messing with region or engine timing, you are part of dev team - you have better knowledge, i’m just guessing)
if this is not a bug, (that on every next iteration audio is randomly phased) then be it. Analog mojo
I had a hunch that the slight click you hear in pt5 might be caused by something other than region or loop fades. Your pt6 video confirms that.
Current hunch is that this may be due to the loop range markers being in music-time (rather than sample-time for audio) – right-click on the loop marker, uncheck “Glue to Bars and Beats”.
The bug may rather be related to looping.
Does it cancel when you play normally (no loop)?
Does it cancel when you load the bounce audio into a Clip Slot?
Your testing is very appreciated, we will have to get this right eventually. I am still busy with v7 release fallout, and cannot dive into this specific issue myself at this point in time.
