Oh yeah - no, no external or even internal routing (outside of groups). I do sometimes have individual tracks in groups routed to a return track and then a bit on the group as well, however this shouldn't be an issue at all.
I haven't actually tried resaving the project to a different location, nor have I tried saving a project after the feedback happens. The projects were Live 8 projects, but that shouldn't be an issue, right? I also made sure that it just wasn't that specific project, since I'm having the issue across all of the other projects I've tried.
There's a certain randomness to it:
When I playback material and it doesn't show up, it doesn't show up unless I perform an action; like jumping ahead in a track or whatever. I've also encountered the problem when loading a plugin onto a track once (not even a return), but I haven't had that since then. Granted, I haven't used Live 9 much due to these issues and have stuck with 8 for now (even on Windows 10, which was a hassle, since it had to be troubleshot for compatibility).
From what I can tell, the feedback happens to return tracks that have time-based effects on time; regardless of it being third party or Live itself.
A very intriguing problem for sure. It's possible there could be a problem wiht the original being made with 8. You could attempt to re-create this project in a new empty
Live 9 project. To be able to move over the returns, you need to group them into a rack and save them. Then make a screenshot or take notes of levels and any odd routings. Start with bringing these returns back into the new project in exactly the same order. At this point save the project.
Drag in the tracks from the Live 8 project one by one. Make sure you delete the tracks you got when creating the new project so you start with just one track and then build up until you have the same song as in Live 8. Recreate any routings. Don't save so you keep undo at hand, if the problem comes back.
Another thing. Do you have native
Live devices in those tracks? If so, replace them with the 9 version at first possibility. Any native instrument would also need to be replaced by updating the instrument once the preset is loaded.
I have no specific reason to suggest this other than the Live 8 origin is pretty much an unknown variable. That it should work without triggering this issue of yours doesn't mean that it's out of the question.
So this way you'd at least remove this variable pretty much. A more extreme version would be to export track by track to MIDI and to audio and painstakingly recreate the project that way.
If this works remember to make a collect all and save.
I've had to rebuild projects from scratch before in Live 9, when the issue just couldn't be pin-pointed. That was actually faster than finding the issue and that particular one never happened again.
