Hello,
since some years i have problems with audio dropouts on rendering, even though i have a very powerful system. when using realtime-export, i have at least an indicator something went wrong, and the rendering aborts. i can than try again, change something in my project, until i can export without this (hard-disc or cpu) problem.
i am using audio-parts very much, to keep all takes from recording vocals or guitars, etc. - so i can - whenever i want - use partially another take if needed. but this leads very very often to the described problems on rendering. also when i use vari audio and have lots of cuts on some audio-tracks it will probably cause dropouts if i have to many plugins used on this track. the solution is to use “render in place”, but there are two problems:
first: i am loosing access to my other takes, which can be very problematical.
second: much worse: if i use render in place, it also happens, that audio-dropouts occur sometimes, but without any warning (same as project-export without realtime checked!)! the result is an broken audio-file with one or multiple drop-outs.
at the moment, i have no other solution as using render in place, and after each time scroll the track zoomed in from the beginning to the end, and comparing visually the original part and the new generated render, to see if there is any drop-out. if i miss someting, and i save the project, after i removed the original part from the project, i am fucked and need to sing again, or play again or copy&paste from somewhere if possible. its really pain in the ass!
Steinberg, i am using Cubase since 25 years, and this problem hit me first maybe with version 12, i am not sure, and i dont know what you changed (alot obviously), but PLEASE! do something! this is a desaster! it cost me so many hours to fix broken projects now…. i cant deal with this anymore.
oh, and by the way, just a side-information - i am an it-professional, and also a programmer, and i did EVERYTHING to optimize my system, starting form update my bios, change the nvidia driver, customizing the nvidia driver, use latency mon, to track down the problem, change energy-saving settings, change display settings, removing software, etc. etc. - i had this problem with multiple different audio interfaces, with different computer hardware, with windows 10, with windows 11, so its not related to my system.
generating a broken audio-file without any warning is nothing an expensive professional audio-recording-software should EVER do!
i hope this bits of a message finds someone from the steinberg support/development-team well!
by the way - i always thought you guys are from US,
