Re: PT mixer headroom severely reduced to 20dB over 0dBFS. Bug?
So lame to quote myself, but hey.. just a joke.. if they created a "realtime" processor series and "desktop" processor series, they could also combine them on special hardware and we could one day have a "R2-D2" model

2018.12 is OK 2019.6 is NOT so somewhere in between. I already have multiple versions installed for different tasks so I rather not install even more to pinpoint it. Quote:
I work in post, not in music, so I might have encountered this before, handling a gunshot or something, but could be masked by other layers of sounds and nobody noticed. I highly doubt it's an issue in music, but again, being the floating point mixer, it's still of concern IMHO. |

Between that was the HDX voice upgrade fiasco, maybe it had something to do with this?

So, 3 years later, the bug turned out to be a hidden feature that apparently nobody knew about. But now we got the option to turn it off.

That is unexpected! Nice to know. Wondering why they didn’t say before?

Well as someone who suffered their fair share of super-deafening “blasts” caused by the compensation delay bug in the past, I’m quite pleased this feature is there and enabled by default.

"The" compensation delay bug... I think you mean "a" compensation delay bug, there are clearly many bugs with delay compensation that Avid needs to fix. |

And they don't even explain well what is going on clearly. It's not just say muting the Pro Tools output (I can't tell if it does I'm not going to test), it *is* clipping the signal. You can get 32-bit float files created here with artifacts in them at very high levels (Still <+20dBFS) levels and so what happens when you take that file and play it in something else. Wherever Avid thinks they are doing here is not going to help stop that from causing problems. And combing this with the Pro Tools waveform track UI is broken and does not properly draw signals at high +dbFS values... it's like Avid wanted to claim 64/32 bit float support but nobody actually worked though thinking about the corner cases that are needed to actually make it work really robustly. If only Avid had say the engineering talent of the Reaper team.... Last edited by Darryl Ramm; 11-23-2022 at 01:20 AM. |
