Rogue Envelope extends past end of song

I have a rogue envelope that extends past the end of the song. It will not split or stop at the end of the song either. So after the song is done, it goes on playing until I press stop. It has valid node points and works as desired. It just goes beyond the end of the song. There are no other events in the event view, nor were there ever any events past measure 60.

Anyone run into this? If so, how do you remedy the situation?

You could select a region that is the same sixe as all the other tracks and copy that portion of the track and automation. Clone the track without the events but with track properties and effects. Paste the copied data and then delete the oddball track.

I have found that sometimes tracks become corrupted within a project. I have seen a rogue envelope as well as track properties that wont change despite the indication that they have changed. For example I have on old project right now that will not pan some of the tracks unless I clone the track. The cloned track works just fine and the problem never happens again. Go figure.

I believe SONAR will continue to play projects beyond the end of the data if it includes any data-generating plugin, such as Session Drummer. Could your project be using a plugin that generates data?

EDIT: BTW, all envelopes extend to infinty initially. In fact, they still extend to infinity after the last node. But as long as it's a dotted line, SONAR takes that to mean you did not put any explicit automation there, and should stop as soon as the last node is rendered.

Hey Conley,

It doesn't seem like this is the cause of your problem, but it's happened to me so I'll mention it just in case.

I think the dotted line going on for ever is normal ... I get that all the time, after the last node.

But when the song goes on beyond its intended end and carries on playiing thru the dotted line area, I've found two possible causes:

1. Another envelope somewhere (on this or some other track) with a node further along (remember envelopes can be hidden - I'd check I hadn't donew this)
2. Some audio or midi clip perhaps on another track somewhere in thed istant future.

But if you have hit ona genuine bug, why not try biouncing to track and seeing if that fixes it?

Cheers

I have a midi drum track that is causing playback even though there are no events past the last measure..

Clip mutes on midi clips will cause infinite playback. Probably a problem with the virtual envelope.

I only have 4 audio tracks. Song ends in 3.00 minutes. No more data that I can see, but it plays forever.......

I will trry that right now

Are you using any MIDI plugins in your project? Some of them can generate data, and because SONAR has no way of knowing if they are still generating notes or not, it just keeps playing past the end of your data. Session Drummer, Virtual Guitarist, RnC (I think) and many others are like this.

If you post your project somewhere, I'd be happy to have a look at it. You have my curiousity up.
