I recorded a track with cajon, ride cymbal, bass and guitar. The cymbal and the bass port on the cajon, which I was recording with a Sennheiser e602-II, created loud peaks while the overall volume was low, so I decided to put a master compressor on the master channel to bring up the overall loudness. Cajons are kind of difficult to record. So I tried the JS version of Master Tom, a Stillwell plugin I have used in Windows, but not in Linux. About a minute in, I think right after a particularly loud bass cajon hit, the volume dropped by about 50% and continued like that for the rest of the track. No matter what I did, Master Tom caused that to happen. So I took that out and tried Fairly Childish, another Stillwell plugin. This seemed to work fine, though it seems to create some compression artifacts. This is just home recording, no big deal. This is what the track sounds like now:

Has anyone else had problems with Master Tom? Do some JS plugs work and not others?

Thanks,

John
