And this was in GarageBand, desktop version. There was nothing unusual about the piece until Tape Pro was added. Anyone else who uses Tape Pro… now’s your time to speak up if this has happened to you also.Īpplied Tape Pro to a sampled instrument track (which was not playing at an extreme volume level by the way) and this massive popping sound nearly took my head off when I hit the play button. There’s no user forum on the developer’s site and I’ve not seen anyone else bring up this issue here. Hmmm….Is this a common/known issue with this app? Have you contacted the developer to report the issue? On both iOS and desktop using Tape Pro as an Audio Unit I've had massive feedback or distortion problems which very nearly cost me a speaker or my hearing.īitter ear-ringing experience is teaching me to not trust any developer to properly implement safety measures for their audio software.ĭo you automatically add a limiter before you trust the performance of your plugins? I'm thinking I'm going to make it standard practice after having problems with Caelum Audio's Tape Pro. Which external passive volume control do you use. Personally, I have my monitors and headphone amp setup with an external passive volume control before them and listen at levels that are going to be safe even if the D-to-A from my audio interface hard clips. This is especially good practice when you are using plugins with lots of resonance and/or feedback. I now suggest that users always put a limiter before the output to headphones and monitors. Using an effect to push hard into a compressor is another example. Using them in purposeful feedback routing settings for example. I've pulled that out now because it stops people from using them in settings where that kind o level is perfectly fine and sometimes useful in an effects chain. I used to put a hard clip at around 3 to 6 dB at the end of all my plugins.
