So to confirm the setup and symptoms:
- Reverb is part of an FX Chain and has a long/loud enough decay to be heard after approx. 1-second clip fades...?
- Is the FX Chain in Prochannel or track FX bin?
- What reverb plugin?
- What else is in the chain in what order, and what else is before or after the chain?
- Reverb is heard past all clip boundaries on live playback and on freezing the track, but not in export of unfrozen track with Entire Mix...?
- In the export, the reverb is cut off at every clip boundary, not just the last...?
If it's just at the end, you might just need to extend your selection in the timline before exporting, or add some automation that runs past the the end of the last clip (volume automation on the Master bus is good for this).
I have two MIDI tracks feeding two channels of a single TTS-1 instance (piano and brass section, just to give it different sounds). I have no track or effect clips. I put Breverb Hall - Ballroom on the master bus. That has a tail of about 5 seconds. I have a 5-second tail set in Preferences - File - Audio data and also in Freeze options.
1) If I freeze the synth track, the frozen WAV extends 5 seconds beyond the end of the rightmost clip. But there is no audible tail other than what is inherent in TTS, because Breverb is on the mast bus, not the synth track. This is as expected.
With the TTS unfrozen, If I select the 2 MIDI clips, then the ruler start time is the beginning of the leftmost clip and the end time is the end of the rightmost clip. I ctrl-click the TTS track to include it in the export audio.
2) When I export audio, selecting "clips" as the source, I get two separate WAV files, one for each clip. Each one is the duration of that particular clip plus 5 seconds and includes the Breverb tail. In other words, the times selected on the ruler seem to have no bearing in this case. This is as expected.
3) When I export audio, selecting "entire mix" as the source, I get one WAV file that is exactly as long as the ruler time, with
NO 5-second tail added. Breverb effect is throughout the file, but chops abruptly after the last note of the rightmost clip. This is what I am 99% certain has changed for the worse.
4) Just for completeness, if I repeat step 3) but select source = "buses" and select the master bus, the file is identical to 3), i.e. no tail added.
I realize I could manually stretch the end point on the ruler to achieve the effect of the extra tail length. I don't believe I have had to do this recently (not since Ipswitch, I guess). And in the course of editing live concerts, this is not such a simple thing because there is usually applause soon after the last note that I normally want to exclude. I guess I could but automation on the master fader, but this really should not be necessary. I think this was working correctly until ???
As it is relatively easy to revert releases, I think I will try this next to see if I can find a release where it did work the way I am describing it.
