Tl;dr. TM exhibits jarring volume behaviour at extreme settings. Can't figure out why. Screenshots of amplitude history included.
Hi, i asked this a week ago on r/NativeInstruments and could not get a reply so i'm hoping you guys could clarify what i can't seem to understand. This is driving me crazy.
So when using TM at extreme settings, the volume slowly starts to normalize when starting playback. Long pauses between hits are not affecting this in any way, nor is looping, it just resets to some base amplitude when stopping playback. The same behaviour can be seen in stand-alone transient-master, albeit not as strongly. Input volume has no effect, but the limiter on stand-alone version seems to combat this a bit. I guess i could nullify the effect with the comp in the drumkit, but i'd still like to know whether this is normal behaviour or not, and if not, why is this happening.
So, is it a general transient shaper feature? Is there something wrong with my settings? Is Reaper doing something weird "under the hood"? Can anybody even replicate this behaviour? Am i going nuts over something that's should be common knowledge?
Thanks in advance,
Jani
