(not so) Horrendous Problem w/5.0

PeterVred wrote on 6/21/2004, 9:48 PM
did a session last night, 4pc band, 8 tracks into Layla analog ins.
4 tracks via ADAT lightpipe to Layla digital ins...like usual.
However, this time i used Vegas Input Monitor, which worked great by the way.
However...
During session whenever i went into record mode, i got a loud POP.
upon playback system POPS really loud ANYTIME I press play, or record for punch ins. The pop, when i render, is in the wav file also, at the beginning of the file.

It's nuts! I can't mix, or edit or anything. any time i press play..."BANG".
have tried every thing, won't go away.

I opened some files from last week, and everything is fine on those Veg files.
it's only this new session. The band is coming back tomorrow...what in God's name am i going to do?

Pete

I just muted tracks one by one...it's only the Snare Drum track that is causing the POP...when i mute that track, i can start anywhere without any noise.
maybe i came to the forum too quickly...

anyway, if anyone has had this let me know.
thanks

ok...anytime I SOLO a track, it does NOT POP, except for the snare track...it pops when soloed.
all other tracks, when soloed, and i press play, there is NO POP.

When Muting only snare, the pop is still there, so i was wrong.
if i solo all instruments EXCEPT snare...no pop.
i'm baffled.

ok...it was Sony reverb that I had added to the track, set for subtle ambience.
I deleted the efx from the track and all is well.
who'd a thunk it.

Sorry to be a bother.

I tried Sony track reverb with other settings and any and all cause the pop.
I tried it as an EFX Buss...same problem. The Reverb must be corrupted or something, my 3rd party Fx don't do it.

I tried sony chorus and delay track plugins with no problems...it's just the verb.

you ever get a pop when you mess with the low end of the track eq?

I've got the same issue. just upgraded to V5, added reverb to existing tracks.... POP! Recorded new tracks dry then added verb and.... POP! I'm thinking the corrupted file might be with a particular build. I've got build 122.

No problems here with the Vegas 5 Sony Reverb. Tried as track and bus insert with no probs.

For what it's worth, my V5 install was a clean on a fresh install of XP that hadn't had V4 on it, so maybe it's a conflict with V4 on your machine?

Running AMD Athlon with E-Mu 1820M soundcard here. Maye a P4 issue or hyperthreading thing? Just ideas.

Wow PeterVred - that must be the record for a 'stream of conciousness' thread ;-)

Obviously there is a roblem, hope it gets fixed. I've got one project stuck in V5.0a, but won't be starting any others until 5.0b public comes out.

What happens if you re-install an older SoSoFo app (SF, Acid ?) with prev plugin versions ?

Geoff,
I WAS having "random" clicks and pops w/ version 5.0a, i rolled back to 5.0 and all was fine. I've heard 5.0b will cure, i hope so.
It seems like my reverb plugin problem came after i rolled back.

I have uninstalled all other music apps, and am going to re-install 5.0 from the factory Cd tonight, hopefully this will resolve the reverb pop.

If you've isolated the pop to the Sony verb, then obviously you can avoid using it and keep the project moving along for now. Although the verb probably isn't the root cause of the pop, on a side note, personally I think the Sony verb is one of the worst I've ever heard and I never use it. There are several freeware verbs that are much better.

installed 5.0B...pops are gone, except when opening closing windows during playback/recording as is usual.
Can use reverb plugin again.
Yippee!

Snap. Snap as me "me too". Not snap as in snap-crackle- pop !

Might start to move real projects to V5 (apart from the one I inadvertently V5erised hen opening with the default 'autosave' enabled !
