View Full Version : Death to ears - dragging item caused huge distorsion

Yeah - I was just happily playing a project, then grabbed an item - as I moved it past the cursor, +54dB tried to come out of the track - which resulted in lots of distorsion, hurting ears and a racing heart.

There's no resampling of the (pcm wave) file and the effects on the track were a few muted effects (are these important?) and the "Classic" Compressor, Delay and Reverb. I have no idea how to reproduce this - dragging the item over the cursor works fine of course, now but hope not to hear that again!

Ow!

Set the master to mute at, say, 5dB. Damn good trick that, for avoiding damage to cans, speakers, and ears.
