Hi folks,
I've been getting a REALLY loud "pop" sound whenever I instantiate channel tools or load a project containing Channel Tools. By "loud" I mean loud enough to make me fear for my speakers.
 
Anyone else?
 
My specs:
Intel 4930
32 GB Ram
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Sonar X3c 64 bit
Radeon 6700
2 UAD2 cards
RME HDSPe MADI fx feeding a Antelope Orion32 and a Lynx Aurora 16
 
Thanks
Dean

I'm not getting pops. I put Channel Tools on the master bus and listened. Opened and closed the project. Minimized and maximized the CT GUI. I couldn't get a pop.

Thanks gswitz.
That's weird. You're using RME gear and Win 8.1 x64 just like me...though the UCX does have a different driver than the MADI fx. The strange part is that it's super easy to replicate here. I can get it by creating a blank project, adding an audio track, recording a bit of silence so the audio engine starts, and inserting Channel Tools. No buses, no fx, no nothing.
Anyway, thanks for checking. I appreciate it.
 
This sounding familiar to anyone else out there?

I doubled back and tried it on a track rather than a bus and was again unable to replicate.
 
 

Polite bump. Anyone else seeing this?
 
Thanks,
Dean

Can you check the Perf Module and/or your system's resource monitor and do it again? No other plugs are doing this? I have no idea why this would happen but it might shed some more like on the issue for those who might.
 
Perhaps Channel Tools got slightly corrupted on install?

You should try this with the 64 bit engine OFF, if you haven't already.

I tried for it with the sixty four bit engine on and off.

What os? Do you have the latest device drivers? Often a hardware reset is triggered on loading a new project.

Hi folks,
Thanks for the responses. 
 
gswitz - here's a screengrab of tasmgr while I instantiated the plugin:
 

 
This looks OK to me....
 
Studious - Yep, tried with 64-bit on and off...same behavior.
 
gswitz - Specs are in the OP, but short answer is Win8.1 64 bit. Latest drivers on everything I can think of (Audio, Video, UAD etc).
 
Quick question: can one of you folks post the version and size of the Channel Tools DLL so I can compare with what I have? I was wondering about whether the DLL had gotten damaged or corrupted somehow as well.
 
Thanks for the help guys.
