Effects Artifacts Question

If you extend the end of the song until all of the effects have played out should solve the problem.  Also adding a volume envelope on the master bus and fading the volume down to 0 where you want to end the effects trail would prevent anything that may be at a very low level from showing up at the start. 

If you stop in the middle of the project you will still likely get some effects tails. on rewind.

I tried...
 

when the transport is stopped in SONAR. The default behavior is to keep VST’s always in a

resumed state. Enabling this option will prevent effects tails from being heard when the

transport is stopped.
 

Always suspend on play. When Always suspend on Play is selected, the plug-in will reset

when playback starts. Select this option for any VST instruments that have problems with stuck

notes when stopping the transport. The Always suspend on Play property is also useful for

effects that generate a tail, such as delays and reverbs. The effect is that you will hear the tails

when the transport stops, but not when the transport rolls again. Always Suspend on Play is

disabled by default.
 
 
but neither took care of the problem....great suggestion though
thanks  mike

Hi there,
 
sorry, not at my DAW right now but there is an option in the preferences somewhere.
 
Check through the preferences, and make sure you have have 'Advanced' selected so you see all the options.
 
Somewhere in there is an option, something like 'Play effect tails on stop'.
 
You want that to happen, so when you hit stop, the effect tails are played out. Otherwise, the tails will play
next time you start the transport.
 
I'm not sure what the default setting is, but I see people come across this issue on the here from time to time.
 
Let us know if you find it, otherwise I'll hunt it out next time I'm at my DAW and post it here.
It should only take a couple of minutes for you to find it.
 
Cheers - Cliff

Yes.

If you don't have this option checked, Sonar will store the Fx tails in  a buffer which will then empty the next time you hit play - that's why you hear them the next time you play your project.

Having this enabled has one other benefit - you can judge exactly when your project ends and you can drag out any Midi or audio clip to this point and establish a true end point for use when Exporting or Bouncing

This option will also stop the audio engine from turning off which is the cause of other issues such as not hearing SD3 drums and other synths prior to playback.
