i'm not sure...i remember someone posting with btd problems, and being told that his buffer settings were too high...something to try anyway.
i've pretty much avoided btd unless i've got everything committed to audio first...

I had an extra-strong intuition to not jump into DP5 til Unicorns sounded the all clear, now I'm very happy I haven't made the jump yet. I do lots of BTD with many aux tracks in some cases for my bread and butter weekly jobs. This bug would screw me completely.
I wish MOTU would cop to this stuff and deal with it openly. I might feel a little more warm and fuzzy toward them like I used to.
Best of luck to all you guys with this issue. I'll be lurking with interest

Phil, I can't remember offhand which bugs I have reported and which I have not. I can say that I get the feeling that nothing I've reported has been relayed to the programming department. These bugs are not reproducible 100% of the time. Unless they are, tech support treats it as an anomaly and kind of blows you off. "Restart your machine," they like to say. Some of those guys are kids who don't realize that many of us have been using DP (or Performer) since before they were born. I don't know how to respectfully tell them that we're talking about a bug that has to be chased down by their beta testers and programmers, regardless of whether I can delineate the steps to reproduce it 100% of the time.

IMO, posting here should be tantamount to writing MOTU Tech Support, Engineering and the guy who owns the joint.
If the people at MOTU aren't reading every single post on this board on a regular basis, they are seriously derelict in their responsibility to their customers.
If they take no interest in the problems we're having with their products, then why should we have one iota of allegience to them as a company?
Hey -- just found this thread after I posted a new one on this topic. I'm having this exact problem in DP 5 - working exclusively in DP 5 with my buffer at 1024. Bounces are coming out with gaping HOLES in them - horrible! Doesn't matter what format AIF, WAV, etc. or where I put them (folder or add to sequence). The only way I can fix this is to reboot my computer and then it often behaves itself. Until the next time I get to work. I've checked all of my routing/bussing -- everything is fine. Really, the bounced tracks LOOK bizarre -- giant random drop outs.
Has anyone found a fix for this or heard from MOTU? It's a huge problem. I never EVER had this problem in DP 3.1 and I never heard of anyone having it in 4.6.
