Reverb starting late when exported to wav only
Hi, first time posting here...have a weird issue that just started today when exporting to wav
the reverb on my guitars (i use the reverb on my sgear plugin) kicks in late, about 2-4 seconds into the song. never had this issue before. playback sounds fine, and when exporting to mp3 its fine also.
also tried removing fast bounce and checked audible bounce just now and it works fine but its too time consuming to do this
the only thing i did differently with these new projects (all 3 had the same issue) was that i started using an fx chain template on my master bus (when before i manually added the plugins per project). not sure if theres a connection though since even when i removed it its still had the same issue with the exported wav. i appreciate the assistance
