[6.14] Playback time offset accumulates when freezing

[Mordi]

Reaper 6.14 x64
Windows 10 x64

Video showing how to reproduce

Say you have +50 ms playback time offset on a track to sync it with the other instruments in the project. Then you want to freeze the track. The playback offset will be baked into the frozen audio, but the playback offset in the track itself is preserved.

This means that your audio now has +100 ms playback offset in total. You have to go into the track IO settings and uncheck playback offset to have the correct amount.

I think Reaper should either uncheck the box after freezing, or it should disregard playback offset when rendering the frozen audio.

Yes, then it's a bad behavior, for sure

I have noticed this issue over here as well and I totally agree - something should be done about this.
I vote for disregarding the offset when freezing.

Strictly speaking, this is an error. The tracks with offset will move unnecessarily after freezing.

@dangguidan let's hope it gets fixed then.

For the time being, scripts are used to solve this problem

idx,i=0,1
track_tb={}
seltrack=reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0, idx)
if seltrack~=nil then
repeat
offset=reaper.GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(seltrack, 'I_PLAY_OFFSET_FLAG')
if offset==0 then 
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(seltrack, 'I_PLAY_OFFSET_FLAG', 1)
track_tb[i]=seltrack i=i+1
end
idx=idx+1
seltrack=reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0, idx)
until seltrack==nil
reaper.Main_OnCommand(41223, 0)
end
i=1
while i <= #track_tb do
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(track_tb[i], 'I_PLAY_OFFSET_FLAG', 0)
i=i+1
end

Just stumbled on this.
Took me some time to figure out why my HiHat timing went all over the place.
Will this be fixed soon? Is there a feature request to vote on?
Cheers

Hello,
This has already been fixed as of Reaper version 6.20.
From the 6.20 changelog:

• Freeze: disable track playback offset when freezing, re-enable when unfreezing

Last time I used this feature it worked just fine.
Hope that helped.
