Audio Leak?

Post by gavspav » Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:37 pm

I have eight audio tracks which are sent to 8 return tracks, which is are in turn routed to 8 audio tracks containing dummy clips.

My problem is that if I leave the volume of the original 8 tracks high, and move the volume of the return and/or dummy clip audio tracks to zero I can still faintly
hear the audio tracks playing (all be it at very low volume)

If I move the volume of the original 8 tracks to zero the 'leakage' stops but this means I cannot monitor the tracks post fx (i.e on the dummyclip tracks) through the headphones.

Is this a bug or (more likely) something I'm missing?

Thanks,

Gav

It's possible that it's a bug. There was a previous problem with track faders not cutting off all the way, which was fixed... But someone noticed the other day that the problem still exists on the crossfader, so it may exist in some other form too.

As a workaround I've set the "Audio From" in the dummyclip tracks to "Post FX" and set the Volume in the return tracks to zero.

I can't hear any leakage now. Haven't cranked it up yet though.

Hi Gav, which version of Live are you using?

Bug Not Fixed?

Well I thought it worked until I slapped George Yohng's W1 Limiter on the master channel and cranked the ceiling and threshold up.

Think the bug might still be there.
