My examples could easily be from a soft-synth so the same logic applies - throwing away one channel is (potentially) bad.

There's only the increase if there's a correlated signal in both channels. Take a contrived example where the left channel is a sine wave and the right channel is the same sine wave phase shifted by 180 degrees. Sum them to mono and you get no signal. In a more real-world example, suppose you have a stereo track containing something like a string quartet, quite heavily panned. Throwing one side away would be significantly worse than adding a 3dB gain as you'd actually lose information (instruments). The extreme example would be a stereo signal with silence in the left channel and something (anything!) in the right. Collapsing in your way would lead to silence which is obviously incorrect. That said, the 3dB gain is potentially a problem, so surely the better thing to do would be to add a "hidden" 3dB attenuation when you set the interleave of a genuine stereo track to mono?

Marillion - Cinderella Search

Rush - Cinderella Man

Radar love anyone?

Reminds me of Yes, especially in the vocals.

Black Sun Ensemble - Dove of the Desert

What audio interface? On my (older) Ryzen system, I went through a phase where I had to connect my USB MOTU to a USB 2 port, not USB 3, else I got some weirdness (fixed at some point with BIOS/Windows update).

Different ?

There's other music?

A-ha - Take On Me

Inner City Unit - Paint Your Windows White

The thought of shoggoths meeting the von Trapp family fills me with joy.

Huw Lloyd Langton - River Run

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again

Linking the previous two... Hawkwind - Mists of Meridin

EDIT: This from NF "The v2 is not compatible with v1 sessions or presets. It is a completely new plug-in and thus won't replace the v1, so you can still use it to reload your previous work." So as intended, but still annoys me!

FWIW with the beta of the Pulse Teq EQs, while it installs fine and seems to work: - It isn't one where the VST3 replaces the VST2 version (comparing with the existing VST2 that is anyway) - that's irritating - But, it might be because they've added a new module (nice) but also changed controls on one existing module (there's no longer a clipper toggle switch on the output, and they've added a mix control and an analogue knob to it); these might be improvements, but I'd prefer it it these didn't stop migrating from the existing version.

Many years ago, when I was a boy, my forum user name was kperry (I think). At some stage, I updated my bandlab name to reflect my band name (as opposed to my name - who knows who I am?*) and it updated here. * Who knows who the band name is either for that matter?

Thursday. Just not saying which one.

Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia

Can I just say that's not a...oh, hang on, it is ?

My memory may be going of course!

I think there's now a setting to control the decimation - I forget where it is in the UI though (or ini file).
