yeah i knew it was the compressor, as you said it goes away when im not using the effect.
Im at work at the moment so i cant post settings but il have a go tonight and see if what your saying fixes the problem.
Cant believe iv left it this long to ask about it tbh 5 years is a long time to be putting up with it haha

Use the FF1 model to get rid of clicks easily when doing side-chaining.

THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD, WUB OR LEDGE PLEASE HELP.

i tried doig a search but somewhere on the forum recently someone posted a video about the most efficient way of taking you song done in arrangement view and preparing it for session view, yeah i know i could just bounce everything but i like to watch vids about it to see different takes on it. Or if anyone has any good videos or tuts about that.

oh, and i watched another video of skrillex performing and he still has that weird ass session view that ive never seen before (pic above). ..

edit: nevermind, figured it out. The logic/workflow of this program drives me nuts sometimes!

Is there a way to get the actual dB reading to show on tracks when they are playing? The meter is decent but it would be nice to have an accurate reading (or even approximate) so I can see the numbers and judge my headroom.

the the box around the fader up to expand it, you can get the number it peaks at and what its set at, drag it sideways and you get numbers along the meter

To group tracks select whichever ones you want and hit ctrl-g

Yeah, exactly!

A "hide track" feature would be really useful in moments like these.
