Track positioning gets messed up on every open...

[Steve Crook]

VS 15.0.1 on Windows 11.

I record stuff from the radio, been doing it for a while without problems, and I use VS and something called virtual audio cable to route into VS. Works really well. But I've been having some problems with one particular recording which spans 13 album 'sides' and 83 track breaks. I have no idea if this is breaking some internal limit or not. But...

I have created the tracks, positioned the breaks, saved my work, normalised, generated audio files, then exit VS. All seems fine. I go back into VS and I'm told that "VS has found and corrected inconsistencies in the track breaks for this album. As a result your track breaks may not be where you left them"

So I go in and find that some breaks have been moved, and, the last 10 or 15 tracks have been removed. The tracks are still defined, but just have no breaks.

So I reposition and fix it all and close VS, reopen VS and get told the same thing again, and it appears to be the same tracks being repositioned/corrected every time.

I can (of course) supply whatever files you need.

Decided to delete all the track breaks and start again. I've saved all the files for the recording prior to deletion. Placing track breaks in batches of 10-15, saving work exiting VS then opening it again. Probably won't be done today, but thought it worth trying...

OK, closer to the problem. I got as far as 71 track breaks, saved, exited VS, went back and got the track inconsistencies message, and I'm left with 68 breaks. So I'm thinking somewhere from 60 breaks onward.

I decided to split the album into two so that each has roughly 50% of the tracks. 

Copied the entire album to a different collection & renamed it. Deleted the 'sides' that will be in the other album along with their tracks and put in track breaks. Moved it back to the original collection.
For the original, I renamed that and deleted the 'sides' that're now in the other album and redid the track breaks.
 
Job done.

So as far as I'm concerned there's no rush on this, I have a perfectly good workaround.
