Have you disabled all fx to make sure it is bone dry? I'm curious where it stops then.

A virtual instrument alone can have an effect tail, and some instrument presets also include additional effects.

Ah, gotcha. Good point. Sometimes you just want the song to stop at a certain point midway. Not just at the end. I'll use the loop region to achieve that desired result. Thanks!

Hi,

So, that would be the feature request: a stop marker.

That would be cool. I know Superman's arch nemesis would like it. 👍 Well, maybe not arch, but formidable.

What would "fixed" mean? Do you want an option to stop playback in the middle of an effect tail? That would be a feature suggestion.

Greg
I'm just saying it would be great if playback just stopped and reset at the marker in the image below. If there is a toggle option, then great! But sometimes it will just run on for 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds even if there is no track data? I'm sure that if there was an effect that needed to run, I could just extend the corresponding clip as necessary?
