I didn't realize what was causing it until the other day. Turns out Guitarix needed more than just the DC, it needed the noise. ------------------- To MusE users: No MusE mods required. Here's the way I did it: To avoid taking up an effect rack slot on each affected track, create a new Audio Input track with inputs not connected, with a single white noise ladspa plugin in its effect rack, say the caps C* White noise. Set the plugin's noise level to the second least value available, like 0.01. Un-mute the new Audio Input track. Name the track 'Noise source', let's say. Set the track level slider to -59dB, *NOT* -infinity, which causes the symptom. (That's the second least default minimum slider value, settable in options!) Now add 'Noise source' to each affected track's input routes, aside from any routes they already had. Note that if any Wave track effect rack plugins require the noise added, there's no way to inject the noise to their effect rack unless the Wave track's record-arm is on. So do like I usually do anyway... route your Wave tracks to Group tracks, and put the plugins in the Group tracks. Similar for other tracks like Synth tracks. Route them to Groups. Then inject the noise into the Group tracks. Well, you get the general idea I hope. Now things should be ready to roll smoothly. It's striking to adjust the 'Noise source' Audio Input track slider level to -infinity and all of a sudden things freeze and slow to a crawl. Don't do it! Tim.
