can you confirm this please? (EQ8 related strange bug)

Post by IP » Fri Aug 24, 2012 12:07 pm

Hi guys!

here is a strange one...

1 track / 1 group / 1 return track (exciter)
-the track is a part of the group and sends to the exciter
-an EQ8 is placed for group processing

hear what happens just by turning EQ8 on/off (every 2 bars in the example).
no automation no EQ settings. All 8 eq processors are off. Just device on/off

Live 8 / win 7 64 bit

if you want download the live pack from here to check/confirm (Live 8 minimum)

or just set it up

-a track in a group that send in a return track with saturator in it
-an eq8 in the group and try device on/off

strange, indeed.
turn off the high quality option and the effect's gone.
so it might have to do something with the EQ8 HQ setting.

my theory is: HQ mode outputs higher frequencies than the normal mode and this shaping you set actually pick those frequencies up.

however it is a bug because when no processing at all (EQ is off) the the whole spectrum should go through to the sends as well

Probably over sampling.
