Thanks for the input. Only one of these files did I use Melodyne, and I don't believe that's the issue, as I don't use it very often.
I am using 'comping' as my record method. And set to 'store takes in a single track'.
Check this one out, if you would.
https://youtu.be/dTz7XoC8TQ4 Audio dropout while recording?? I'm not recording. Error message says 'degragment' my drive. I've tried 2 drives. An SSD and a 7200rpm drive. Both less than a year old. I have no recording issues with any other programs except sonar platinum.
This is a default Sonar template. Only added Addictive Drums and Trilian Bass virtual instruments.
This may be a different problem, but somehow I believe it's related, somehow.
And thanks Millzy for the link. I did come across this in my endless hours of frustrated troubleshooting. I unchecked 'allow arm changes during recording/playback. No luck.
