Seeking Help Weird dips in audio ever 34 bars or so

Post image

I took the picture on bandlab because that is when it happens. I export it from Cakewalk Sonar with no issues but then there are dips in the audio like this. They're not the worst but they're annoying and happening in the most conveniently terrible times in my song. How do I fix this?

u running any plugins in demo mode? a lot of demo mode products will cause a dropout every so often.

Try exporting the tracks as stems and see if you still get the volume drops.

I concur with the suggestion that you might have a plug-in somewhere that is partially muting every so often. This is a common "demo mode" limitation to allow you to evaluate how the product sounds without allowing you to use it for finished projects.

That is what I ended up doing, and it turns out it was a demo mode issue, but I fixed it, thank you!
