- Problems with the realtime preview when using higher rates:
- It is not possible to completely hide certain areas of the spectrum.
- You have corrected the frequency response of a sample and then analyze the result once again. The result does not match the corrected frequency response (the blue line before performing filtering).
- Also resonance-like sounds arise in wideband band passes.
- In the "Fade start" or "Fade end" filter mode, fading is not applied uniformly.
