I'm on Windows 10.
It's not user error.
It's as if the program hangs up during certain functions.
Hey, sorry to hear of the issue. Only in trying to understand your claims, it's really not possible. Consider, from a troubleshooting side. What functions?
I have the same problem in the browser with it freezing up while I'm auditioning sounds. The program will work fine for a while, then all the sudden start lagging on certain functions.
Which functions? I get it's locking up, but your issue seems to be stability, and the time-stretch issue (which is what this post is about) is likely adding to your crashes.
I can do the exact same work in v6 with zero issues, so it's definitely related to v7.
I'm not alone. Others were complaining about it when v7 first came out. The (.) updates seemed to fix the problem, and it returned with 7.1.
In keeping with attempting to fix the issue you and the OP have with time stretch, it would be best as Lukas already mentioned to provide a screenshot, or video clip of the issue. The OP never mentioned lock-ups or crashes, only that the clip shrinks with time stretch but doesn't expand.
With your points about crashes and lockups, and browser behavior, It sounds as though you could have created a new post, or simply hold to the subject of time stretch. It's easier to cover that way.
For now, please provide actual functions and if helpful, a screenshot.
Thx.
To the OP, with certain audio events bounced to a set length, timestretch will shrink but not expand. Check Lukas' auto parts video which really covers those differences very well.
