Autotune glitches/pops

[George Cumbee]

Recently upgraded to AT 3. Not sure if I ever remember this problem in prev. version.

Especially on female vocals there is an occasional pop/glitch. I have tried lowering the retune all the way down to slowest, and tracking to all relaxed. It sounds like old dropout problems in analog tape, a soft pop. Levels are not hot either, way below 0 and AT is the first PI on that channel.

I had a severe problem mixing a ladies trio with the soprano. Was getting popping on her last long high note. I was looking at everything. Did not have the orignal 8mm tapes to re-transfer. I pulled up the orig. audio file to re-import it. Still there. I finally kept bypassing pi's and when I bypassed the AT3 it was fine.

I kept experimenting and even found that if I bypassed the D maj note it was fine. I am in Chromatic mode. Strange......

Anyone else had this problem? Am going to contact Antares Mon, but they are usually hard to get a response from....When we upgraded, I could not get a repsponse on the Challenge/Response I finally kept calling cause our trial was running out. They finally sent it on a special request. Then 5 days after the time was up, we got an offical email response...so much for authorizations. Last night I sent in a authorization for Mezzo 4 and got back a response by the time I went to the email screen. That is the way it should be...

BTW: System is 9600/Mix Cube/PT 5.1.1 OS 9.1
