Was tracking some drums last night & the drummer didn't like
the way he played a certain break, so we tried punching it...
still didn't like it, so we tried a few more punches & got one
he liked, so as I was checking to see if it would blend well
(applying crossfades, nudging them into different spots to see
if we could get a seamless edit), the app (CubaseSX v3) locked
up... had to save the project under a different name & reboot.
This happened to me once before, under the same circumstances...
bunch of punches on a drum track, then grabbing the crossfades
& moving them. What causes this? Is it a problem with the app
itself in the way it handles that info, or is it a RAM or CPU
issue? I doubt it's a disk streaming thing, because it's not
like we were trying to do these edits on the fly - the machine
was stopped at the time, in both cases.
Just curious - anyone know?
Neil

computer magic gots my vote. can't tell you how many time shit like
that happens no matter what app...it just does...personally, i'm going

and are no longer familiar to the current you are taped into.

<bump>
Anyone (like Chris or Chuck, perhaps?) have an idea on this?
(see below).
