Help me: Tracktion 7 Whooshing/Hissing sound

[drumguy1]

Hi,
I am brand new to midi recording and using DAWs so I thought I would download Tracktion 7 as it supports VST unlike other Mac software. I am using PG-8X but all of a sudden have started hearing this wooshing/hissing sound about every 15-20 seconds. I did a little bit of researching and it said that if you are using a trial version of one of Tracktion's software it will give you a hissing sound after 30 days. I confused because I only downloaded this today... Anyone know how to fix it and if it is permanent?

It may be possible that you have to register one or some of the plugins even if they are not being used in any projects ( its just a wild guess tho ), try going through and opening up some of the plugins and see if you get prompted by any text.

Yea im not sure. I have not gotten any text prompts yet. It is possible I clicked through one when installing without looking at it. It might just be a drawback to having the free version.

You need to have an account on the Tracktion site (from when you downloaded); and you can unlock T7, permanently. Long time since I did that, so am not positive. Any of the major Tracktion .vst's may also do the same swooshing, but only if they're loaded in a project. (Mastermix)
