Hi guys, I’ve been running into this issue now for a while now in X2 Pro, but it’s now getting to the point of being extremely annoying. I’ll set my loop points up and move the bar to the beginning of the loop region; I’ll hit play, and it will play through and sometimes loop for a time or two, but then it stops at the end of the designated loop section, never to loop again. The loop points are right there, clearly defined in yellow, but it’s not really looping at all. Is there a buffer setting or something that I need to address?
 
As always, your suggestions and advice are greatly appreciated.

I used to see it when I was using a very early version of Sonar. It only occurred in heavy projects. I don't think I experienced it after upgrading to the X series. Buffer setting? Possible. Do you experience it even with the lowest setting?

is it a drop out ?

In my case, it was.

Sounds like a dropout to me. Try increasing your audio buffers a little Preferences---->Audio----->Driver settings

Thanks guys.....so, this is a drop out?....that's pretty much what I figured....some are saying increase and some are saying decrease the buffer settings......which should I do?

Anyway, I'll try troubleshooting some more tonight.

If it is a dropout it's highly unlikely a lower audio buffer will help. I/O buffers maybe, going either way with them can help but if it is your audio interface which is what I'd go for first - the only way is up.

BTW. A drop out is indicated in the transport module just to the left of where the nowtime is displayed

So, I should to try increasing the buffer size in the Roland Quad Capture.......I'll try that....thanks....

Ha ha, sorry. I said "the lowest setting" didn't I? Sorry for making it confusing. Since I also use the Quad Capture, you'll see lower numbers (on the 9-point scale) increases the buffer size. I usually use "5" (128 samples) when I record, but try "9" (largest buffer size) to see if the drop out is gone. 

Sorry, I probably described it the opposite way. I was talking as if the 9-point scale was a ranking, where 1 is "higher" than 2.
