I've been doing this for years, but never saw this anomaly. Thoughts? Jan - 12 Core AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 32GB DDR4 Win 10 64-bit Samsung m.2 SSD Boot drive,other SSD internal and USB drives.

Even if you had a midi on the melody track. We chatted here in the forum about this but I don't recall what the conclusion was or if there even was a conclusion. Will have to keep a better eye on this.

But they can be frozen from the Tracks > Freeze item. This has been reported.
