Track stops playing all audio tracks in the middle of a project

Cubase

I have a track that has a Groove agent track at 4 mono audio tracks. There are no plugins being used.

Midway through the song, all the audio tracks stop playing. Groove agent still plays.

If you open the audio tracks in an external editor, the files play completely to the end as normal.

I’ve opened using just the stock plugins, I’ve saved the file as a new file with a new name, checked the HD for file errors, reset the mixer, no change.

The file also hangs when trying to quit. No other files do this.

Is the file somehow corrupt or something? Anyone else have this issue?

I have not encountered this. What happens if you import one of the misbehaving audio tracks into a new, blank project? If that works, my guess is that the project file got corrupt.

CPR file is corrupted. Try to open a project from bak file. Had the same problem in mixed project.

I think it’s the hard drive. The files are on an external HD. When I moved the project to another HD it was fine.

It’s quite odd. I tested the HD with a number of tools and there were no errors. Everything seems to be ok for reads, all the new projects will be on the new hard drive.
