Hi folks,
Currently making an engine sound.
There’s a fair bit of popping going on (especially with bassy sounds) when cursor comes off instruments with Cut enabled which i can reduce by:
- Slowing seek speed
- Changing crossfade bezier shape
- Changing zero crossing point and crossfades in Reaper
It helps but not entirety… i suppose popping is happening because it’s going from a value to 0 instantly.
Wondering if anyone has any tips, thanks!

i think the issue is, I am not using autopitch, but manual pitch keyframes
i will switch to autopitch!
