LMMS • Forums

Hey everyone, this is my first post in this forum. I've been using LMMS for about 4 years now and I've never had this issue before: about half way through a one of my tracks the volume for everything suddenly drops and stays down until the end. My guess would be a corrupted file but I was wondering if anyone had any input on this?

Welcome to Lmms forums Seajammy.

Wow! Now this is a strange problem.
Question: Did you use any automation, or automate any synth/plugins/FX channel volumes, in your music project?

brandystarbrite, I used automation for volume changes and have parts assigned in the fx mixer but literally I just fixed it, though I can't explain it. There was a vocal sample that when it was played it did the thing so I replaced it and now it's good. Weird.

Wow! I call that a miracle.
That is an interesting method you used to solve this problem.
The way you solved it, reminded me, of how I solved a strange problem in Lmms, a few years back.
Glad to see you got it working again.

If you or anyone else, have encountered any other, strange problems in Lmms, please feel free to post about it.

It would be of interest to know what:
*OS
*Lmms version
- But i t believe that this was some how global-automation that 'happend' and now it somehow 'unhappend' :p

And a few rules for Avatars, signatures, posting and using the right sub-forum :)

Eh, I find stealthy automation highly unlikely. If the project remains silent until you load a new one this could very likely be caused by a misbehaving plugin (*cough* Calf Limiter *cough*)

This is kind of late but yes it felt kinda miraculous when it worked again. So the OS is Windows 7 and version 0.4.15. It was like a random limiter was placed on the track but I don't think that had used one anywhere at that point, not that I can remember anyway. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
