I was just wondering if there’s a timeline for when/if we can expect virtual voices to stay sample accurate? I’ve just bumped into this issue on a project and I noticed it’s come up several times on here over the past few years.

Is the best practice for avoiding this issue still to set the volume to -79.5 to stop the voice from virtualizing, or am I setting myself up for other problems later down the line by doing this?

Hi,

This issue was solved in `2.03` if it is possible to update to the latest. Otherwise, the workaround is still the best solution.
