MBprocess VST: AGC. Multiband compression. Limiting. Lots more features. And it's FREE! What's not to like?
Well, one thing, it turns out: when it's on the master out bus, it creates a random popping sound whenever playback is initiated (not such a big deal; I can handle that) and at the start of a typical buildmix (bigger deal; requires an edit of the built mix afterward. A bit of a pain.
My guess is that it's caused by the AGC starting up from whatever state it was at the end of the prior playback. I only say that because the pop varies with each playback (the stopping point of each prior playback being in a different spot). I also notice that if the last thing that played was no-audio-data silence, there is no pop next time playback is started. (so that's one work-around: play some silence before doing a buildmix)
I've tried fader automation to ramp up from zero to unity on the output track. That seemed to do the trick when I was in SAW32. Not cutting it in SAW64. (I don't know for sure that it's due to the SAW version; I just know that it used to work, now it doesn't, and the change happened around the same time that I switched SAW versions.)
I've tried a ramped unmuting of the output track. No dice. I'm out of ideas.
Got any? I'm hoping for something I can add to the session template for repeatable pop-free buildmixes when using MBProcess.
