Just wondering how I might stop the effects tails from playing on after the end of the clip in X3 (i.e. stopping when the clip ends). I recall that there was a checkbox in preferences in previous versions, but this seems to have disappeared in X3. I never used it in previous versions. I just wanted to try it out in one of my songs, but can't figure out how to do so, and the online help doesn't seem to hold the answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

see Section Always Stream Audio Through FX option

Thanks for your help, scook. I guess that's what I was looking for. However, it does not give the desired result. I'm using Rapture for a delayed midi clip, and I would like the delays to stop with the clip, but that doesn't happen, even when I have the Always Stream Audio Through FX option enabled. Any other ideas?

You could automate the delay wet/dry control in Rapture.

Good idea. Thanks again for all your help, scook.

Rapture is a synth and as such SONAR will always stream to it irrespective of the configuration setting, since its expecting MIDI input. That behavior has not changed from prior versions.
