troubles with song playback

Post by bt12 »

I can not figure this problem out. I can not get any chunks created by copying a selection in a sequence to play back in the song window. In fact the only chunks I can get to fully play back in the song window are the first two sequences I created in the project. Because I thought that the issue might be with the fact that the chunks were created from copying I created a new sequence and just threw random soundbites into it. This chunk did play back in the song window, but only those bites on the first four tracks, anybites below did not get played. I have tried creating mulitple new songs, thinking it might be a problem in the song, and I even created a new project and loaded in the sequences to see if it was a problem in the project, but encountered the same problems in the new project. I am using DP 4.1.2. Any advice or help, I am stumpted.

What's your setup under the setup menu? Look under Setup>Configure Audio System>Configure Studio setting.How many voices do you have allocated for this project?

Yeah, I eventually started messing with voice settings, but I had to have it all the way up to 60 stereo voices, all my tracks are stereo, and then it still maxed out. I basically just decided to bounce the sequence parts I wanted and then use a new sequence the same way I would the sound window, arranging and organizing all these bounced parts. It works a lot better and then I can automate and all kinds of stuff to. I find this method for myself to be a lot more advantageous than using the song window. PLus it doesn't eat up so many voices. Thanks for the help.
