If I create an automation for the FX Track it sounds fine in preview, but when rendered to publish the file the automation simply fails to work correctly.
Watch and listen - much easier than explaining it!
@Extreme_One Open a ticket at technical support https://www.magix.info/us/support/article/how-do-i-contact-technical-support--1513/
As a workaround try to export each track individually as an WAV file, then put all tracks into a new project and export that. Maybe it will work.
Hi
I cannot replicate this issue in Music Maker v31.0.0.9 - which effect are you using in FX 2 channel and what is the version number of your program?

Hi John,
Thanks for checking
This is happening regardless of the effect, and regardless of version.
I had the same issue using Music Maker 2022
In the example video, the FX in FX channel 1 is cFX_Delay_x64 and the FX in channel 2 is eFX_Reverb.
FWIW my current version number is 31.0.0,9
But that seems a little irrelevant as it happened in whichever was the latest version of 2022 too.
Hi
I have tested the two effects and others in MMM 2022 v30.0.6.54 on my laptop, and MMM 2023 on my PC and cannot replicate the issue.
I also went back to your video and, as far as I can tell what is played on the timeline and the Flac export are the same.

You're not serious?
In the preview the delay and reverb fade out gradually.
In the published Flac the effects drop out as soon as the note on the other track plays.
The difference is obvious, surely?

Hi
This has been bugging me so I've tried to figure out what's going on.
I created a new project, but attempted to recreate the tracks and effects in the video.
And lo and behold everything works as it should. The rendered file behaves just like the preview.
So what's causing the issue? Why is that project bugged, and how do I fix it?
I guess I'll submit a bug report, hopefully I can attach the project for the Devs to study.

. . . . In the preview the delay and reverb fade out gradually. . . . In the published Flac the effects drop out as soon as the note on the other track plays. . . .
That is not what I hear, the delay and reverb continue to fade out however there is a tonal change, which I believe could a separate issue, which is distracting from the fade outs, I have heard this before though it is somewhat rare.
When raising a support ticket you do get the option to add files, if the file is not accepted, Zip it up and then attach.

@johnebaker I have remade the video showing the issue, I think, more clearly.
Please tell me you can hear the strong reverb on FX track 2 that gradually fades on the preview track but the reverb drops out suddenly and completely after around 4 seconds of playback on the published FLAC file - I'm not talking about a subtle difference between the preview and the published file, the difference is like night and day.
Anyway, I notice when I open the FX Rack for the Track effects channels, they are showing as Track 3 and Track 4.
That's weird!?!
Hi
Thanks for the better example and as you have commented -there is something definitely 'weird' going not only with the export.
The 'wrong track' indication on the effect control panel, I believe is MMM using those tracks as 'placeholders' for the two FX channels, as you have only 2 tracks in the project they are using tracks 3 and 4, on my PC and with 32 tracks they appear on track 33 for FX1 and 34 for FX2 and using the Dry/Wet controls mixes the original track and the 'placeholder'
There would appear to be another issue - track 1 automation curve is magenta indicating that this is FX1 level yet you have this muted in the mixer, similarly track 2 automation curve is orange which is FX2 level the efX_Reverb.
I would suggest you raise a Support ticket - see this Support article on how to navigate the Support system if you are not familiar with it.

Thanks John.
Yes I've done this now, I've attached the project too, hopefully they can get to the bottom of the issue.
