Pop/Thump Switching Drive Channels - I'm probably doing it wrong

[nojyeloot]

Preface:
Probably something I'm not doing correctly or could be doing better. I've attached the preset (unlinked globals). I've also checked cables (rules #1 & #2 ✔ )

Problem:
Drive makes a loud pop/thump when switching engaged drive from channel D (Comp Dist HP) to channel A (FET Boost). On this preset I basically only use drive channels A & D.

Test:
Jump to scene 3 where I have my drive engaged (channel A). If you switch from channels A or B to channel C or D there's a little thump. But going from channel D to A (or B) is really loud.

Info:
I know that to make transitions smooth, it's best to have the same drive in different channels and just tweak the parameters. My assumption though is that this still shouldn't make this loud of a sound, so I've probably set something wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hmmmm....I hear what you are also. Still looking to see if I can find out why it is thumping on my end.

Levels on C,D are lower than A,B. When I lower levels on A,B the thump is less obvious (duh, I know) so maybe that's a starting point? Also, when I adjusted the master vol on the amp A,B, it did help and the noise went away.

Hope that helps.

^Thanks, standing by.

Anyone else?

Sorry. Apparently that didn't work...watching thread for input.

I also have some presets that thump switching scenes (with all FWs that IIRC). I'll try to track one down and see what might be going on.

Thanks man, any help would be much appreciated!

Not hearing anything peculiar here with that preset and switching Drive between A and D.
Maybe it's an impedance thingy. Try switching Auto Impedance in the Input block to 1M.

Just seeing this, maybe this is related to https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/audio-noise-when-changing-distortion-channel.164702/ ?

Thanks for the advice, but that doesn't make a difference. Same symptoms.

Kinda... but it doesn't solve the root issue unfortunately. Thanks for chiming in tho.

@Admin M@ hate to bug you man, but you have any ideas?

I looked for my preset that was doing but haven't found it yet - only have limited off/on time on the unit. Will keep looking.

Aside from the preset going into CPU warning, I don't hear any thumping when switching drive channels.

Fixed for next release.

NICE. Thank you!
