Waves C4 bug in all SF / Sony products? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Waves C4 bug in all SF / Sony products? Posted by: skinbyte Date:6/2/2004 4:38:49 PM Hello all, Has anyone ever seen this bug before? With a C4 in your plugin chainer (any SF product) you press play, and the C4 mutes all four bands, and then unmutes each band one at a time as they pass the compression threshold for the first time...? Which is fine if your track / selection is full spectrum audio (say a rock song), but bad if the piece starts out only in one frequency range and then expands slowly. The worst of this is: I cannot use the C4 in CDArchitect (where it would be supremely useful) because this gate / unmuting bug appears at the beginning of every track that you use the C4 on! The workaround? I put a half second of pink noise at the beginning of every track to open the C4 properly, render the plugin chainer, then selete the pink noise. Not sexy, but it works. Please, if you know what I'm talking about, and / or have found a fix, let me know. (BTW I'm using the latest revs of all SF and waves apps.) -skinbyte

Have you searched the tech support areas on the Sony and Waves sites? It may just be a bad installation. Try completely uninstalling both Sound Forge and your Waves plugins, then reinstall them. It's surprising how many problems this fixes. BFB

Hello all,

Has anyone ever seen this bug before? With a C4 in your plugin chainer (any SF product) you press play, and the C4 mutes all four bands, and then *unmutes* each band one at a time as they pass the compression threshold for the first time...? Which is fine if your track / selection is full spectrum audio (say a rock song), but bad if the piece starts out only in one frequency range and then expands slowly.

The worst of this is: I cannot use the C4 in CDArchitect (where it would be supremely useful) because this gate / unmuting bug appears at the beginning of every track that you use the C4 on!

The workaround? I put a half second of pink noise at the beginning of every track to open the C4 properly, render the plugin chainer, then selete the pink noise. Not sexy, but it works.
