Any chance of someone from Steinberg looking at this?
We may not have nailed the exact causes, but the linked session definitely repro’s the issue.
Thank you very much for finding this isse and for providing a reproduction and example project.
I just investigated the issue and found that it had to do with a problem that occurs when using the elastique algorithm in combination with auto-crossfades. We will test a fix and can hopefully include it in the next maintenance update.
In the meantime, as a workaround, you could either deactivate auto-crossfades, or you could move the problematic audio events to separate tracks, such that no auto-crossfade is applied.
Best regards,
Christian
Wonderful, Christian! Thank you
