So, I recorded a guitar track last night, well more of a little ditty lol, and today I load up reaper and give it a listen but it keeps triggering the auto mute - a feature I was unaware of until today! So, being the keyboard sleuth I try to be I start hunting. I found out that some plugins cause a spike in output that causes this. Is there a workaround or am I just not going to be able to use this plugin? I really like it so far and will probably buy full versions of the Melda stuff (at least I can install them on anything. Don't get me started on native instruments. bleeping teases and horrible integration..) I hope this isn't something that's already covered. I spent a few hours today looking and, well, here I am lol.

You can disable the auto mute feature in Reaper. See the beginning of this video for more details.
There's also a built in safety limiter in all Melda plugins that you could enable to prevent the spikes.
But it's unusual for this to be triggered on a consistent basis. Are you sure the peaks aren't coming from your recorded material?

I'm using Melda Productions in Reaper for years now and I never had this problem. I've set my automute to +6 (Automatically mute any track). I would not recommend to disable this feature since this might prevent you from hearing loss.
There is this new feature in Melda Production plugins "Intelligent sleep on silence (global)" in the main settings. Maybe this causes the spikes when sound gets dedected and the plugin gets activated. This is just a shot in the dark, though.

I'd also keep the auto mute feature enabled and look if the spikes are "normal". This auto mute thing saved me (my ears) some times already, hehe.

Actually I always disable it. The thing is, if you keep the levels in check, it can NOT cause anything. It prevents overs and mutes the whole thing. But the thing is, the master would clip it anyways, so you'd only get some distortion. And you should have a limiter on there at all times anyways.

I see ... some people really like to live dangerously.

It is always an accident when the automute has to shut the channel down. The main advantage is, that it will mute the channel instantly before any damage to your ears or your monitors occur.MeldaProduction wrote: Sun Dec 20, 2020 6:41 pm Actually I always disable it.

Especially when you turn up the monitor volume to work on something that sits really low (volume wise) in the mix.
