The above examples don't look particularly complex to me... Yet, we see those timing errorsMIDI Life Crisis wrote: Well, again, my experiences with BTD and freeze issues is on complex VIs.

We need to define "complex".
In my case, I can always recreate some kind of timing or "laziness bug" (forgets automation) with BTD or Freeze when at least the following is true:
- Sequence has a moderately busy Conductor Track
- Anything with more than 20-30 audio tracks (each with EQ and Trim)
- At least 4-5 submix aux tracks with EQ or a little compression
That's it!
In my book, that is standard easy breezee stuff, but apparently DP thinks it's already too complex.

That's why I don't even bother anymore when I use my big templates. Any of those would GUARANTEE all kinds of weirdness and unreliability.
