Hi Fading Namites! If so, effect chains will need to accommodate fades. It would certainly be easier to do the opposite: to *disable* fades during caching, and re-enable them afterwards. It's not necessary to cache fades in terms of CPU, as envelopes aren't very expensive. One might conceivably want to cache fades for permanence. As things stand, if a fade is on a cached track, its effect will be duplicated, as the new WAV file will already contain the fade. I'm leaning towards *not* caching fades. Cheers, -- Joel Roth
