Gargle oddities

Just to inform y'all about an odd problem I had and resolved.

I was wondering why the sound started 'gargling' in a project. It would play fine first but after stopping and restarting the guitar sounds g-g-g-g-g-gargly.

Finally I was able to pinpoint the problem on the guitar track to the Sonitus delay and the side-chained Sonalksis compressor. (I don't know if the brand names make any difference here.)

The delay was preceding the compressor, which was side-chain-driven by a vocal track. If the delay was first, it'd get all messed up. If I changed the order of these plug-ins, everything was peachy-keen.

Since it did no difference as far as the sound was concerned (in this case), I just changed the order of the plug-ins.

Maybe you'll run into a similar situation and this will help you.

    I had similar audio sounds similar to what you described, switching the order will do the trick. This strangely showed up when 8.5 was installed, kind of gasp at first, with a few projects, a quick grab with the mouse cured.

    Disable the Listerine plug-in.

    It likely was happening because the compressor would have been trying to bring up the fading delay signals/sounds to the levels you had set the compressor to.  By changing the order you then are putting the delay on the compressed signal/sounds which would likely be the effect you would want.

    No, it was an artifact that has probably to do with the latency (compensation). It's hard to describe the sound in writing --- but what you're talking about, is definitely NOT it.
