Hi,

This could be for different reasons, that your system had an issue keeping up with the demands of the song and/or audio processing and couldn't write the output correctly for some reason.  If you don't hear dropouts when playing, try checking the "Realtime" box in the mixdown dialog to see if you get a better result.

If it continues to happen, please make a tech support ticket and be sure to include a system information file so that the support representative will have enough information about your system to possibly immediately have a few good avenues to investigate.
