Why oh why do I come up with unfixable scenarios. First the "bad midi chunk" scenario (that degidesign never got back to me about) and now the dread 9060. Internal SATA no journaling importing all tracks to another session doesn't work defragged the drive Only happens in one spot. Got rid of all fades at that spot. Muted all audio in the entire song and it still stops at that one spot. Could it be a bad fade on another playlist? Obviously muting tracks and regions does not stop the problem. Why does this happen to tracks that I'm just about to deliver to the record company. Murphy's law. Murphy is a jerk.
