That probably an effect from the compressors, someone pointed out
that there is a distortion on the falling edge of sinewaves, I've not had
time to look at it.
I did do THD tests on the EQ etc., but not the compressors.
I haven't tried anything like that, but I did
notice that listening
to the low band soloed (no mids, no highs) there was some easily
audible distortion that I couldn't get rid of.
When turning off the solo switch, it either went away or was masked by
the mids and highs.
Not sure which version of JAMIN, this was early 2006 and
I haven't used it lately.
That's not too surprising, the solos dont really do the right thing, and
you will end up with some distortion around the band changoever points.
