Digital Spike when pressing record
I recently switched from HD TDM to HDX and Pro Tools Ultimate 2020.3.
A very strange thing that is making my speaker membranes popping out every time I hit the record button...a full level digital spike...it is showing up on the little tiny output meter even though I have the master fader down. Both with audio,midi and virtual instrument track. Any ideas?

Re: Digital Spike when pressing record
Haven't seen that on Catalina. Maybe your system needs a clean install to avoid random errors? PT is sometimes picky on the platform you are running it on

I have a lot of devices synced, yes, but the spike comes from Pro Tools itself and even though I have the Master fader down, the spike is visible in the tiny meters beside the transport window and popping out my ATC SCM25 monitor membranes. I have ordered some thunderbolt cables so I can put the Magma Expressbox with the HDX-card on a dedicated thunderbolt-channel and hope that will solve the problem. It is really annoying actually.

Re: Digital Spike when pressing record
Move *all* of your plugins to unused folder and try again. This is a quick way to test if it is plugin related.

Or why is it needed to move all my plugins?

Re: Digital Spike when pressing record
Because any plugin that is present in plugin folder is loaded into memory when PT boots up

YES!
I am using Expert sleepers Silent Way and ES-3 to turn MIDI to CV, and it was the Silent Way Voice Controller plugin that gave me the digital spike. I can just disable the plugin until I use it. It is part of my default setup.
