OK, solved the drop-out problem, it was the file bit depth as expected, but now I'm having a problem where the peak meter levels aren't showing on the tracks. I have enabled them with control-double F2, but I'm still getting no level registered either in the track/bus column where they should be, or by pressing F2. As far as I can tell from reading the CakeTalking manual, I have everything configured correctly. These tracks are imported .wav files that I've brought into a project. -- Christopher Bartlett PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
