Other things to do first?

I just figured someone might go "yep or nope." LOL. I didn't think we get into a deep alternative analysis. I fired up Reaper and tried various combinations of EVERYTHING and I think the noise is an artifact of the filtering itself. You don't notice it normally so I'm not going to dig any deeper.

Guitar Center shows it for $129. Didn't try ordering it. I'm trying to figure out what's happening with LP-64. Maybe I do need to dump it,

NM.

Ah, never played with that one.

Hi Bit, I tried all of the standard fixes and it doesn't work. It's sounds like something is being over driven. Promidi, Expert Settings?

Hopefully someone can check this - play something with a fair amount of low mid-range/upper bass and solo the lower mid-range band in LP-64. Do you hear noise like it's being over-driven or clipped? I was mastering a low volume section with a fair amount of lower mids and could hear some noise and start soloing tracks and it didn't change. Then I soloed each band in LP-64 and found it was in the lower mid band. To be sure, I switched interfaces, speakers and headphone and it was still there. I loaded several other projects and it was still there. I disabled all effects on all of the tracks and it was still there. It's something to do with LP-64. Disable LP-64 and it's gone. I switched to Sonitus Multiband and it's clean. Weird. Maybe it's something upstream I am missing? I reinstalled it from the old discs and it didn't change. I like LP-64 and hate to have to switch although there are plenty of alternatives.

Oh, I was thinking it would go look since there is a VST in the effects rack. But it sounds like the answer is "it doesn't" Thanks everyone for the info. I'll start bouncing to tracks more. I do it now for sub-mixes but never thought to use it for this.

Thanks. So what is the reason it doesn't?

I've been freezing tracks when I start to load the processor but one thing I've noticed is that if I have a track that has a midi-enabled effect like Waves or Melda Harmonizer (with a midi track providing the notes), the track will freeze but there isn't any harmony. I assume there is a logical reason for this. If I'm doing it wrong I'd like to know. Harmony plugins use a lot of processor time and it would be nice to be able to freeze the track and unload the processor.

Skip? You mean jump measures or beats?

Does it hang closing a specific project or any project?

Split the instrumental section and mute the clip. Unmute when you want it back. I do this a lot. You can always bounce to a clip to get rid of it later if you want.

I will often do a few takes, edit and use Melodyne to correct it, then sing along with that for a couple of days and then re-record the vocal track. It usually only takes one or two takes and requires little correction after that. But as I am formulating the vocal melody, I can be all over the map so it helps to do some editing and correction to make it what I finally want to sing. Then learn and sing that.
