Distortion during compression/limiting
This is driving me crazy....Anybody else having this issue???
12.8.2 was great. Now with 2018.1 (and also with 12.8.3) when I add a compressor or limiter, any processing that they do comes out as distortion. It is consistent with all different makes (waves, avid/digi, mcdsp, etc). The more processing the more distortion. It really shows up terribly with the L2 and ML8000 on the master buss. If I revert back to 12.8.2, it goes back to normal. Admittedly I was under on RAM when I tried to upgrade to 12.8.3 the first time. I thought the lack of memory might be straining/under-processing and causing this bug. However, now I've maxed out the RAM my Mac and am above the minimum requirements. I don't know what else to do.

Re: Distortion during compression/limiting
Spent a couple of hours on the phone with tech support today. Nothing seemed to work. He decided to check the firmware on the HDX IOs. There was not an update and they were running the current version. We ran the updater and let it reinstall the same version over just to refresh the existing version. That seems to have fixed the issue.
Just figured I'd post the solution that worked for me just in case anyone else had the same issue.
