That probably an effect from the compressors, someone pointed out that there is a distortion on the falling edge of sinewaves, I've not had time to look at it. I did do THD tests on the EQ etc., but not the compressors. > I haven't tried anything like that, but I did notice that listening > to the low band soloed (no mids, no highs) there was some easily > audible distortion that I couldn't get rid of. > When turning off the solo switch, it either went away or was masked by > the mids and highs. > Not sure which version of JAMIN, this was early 2006 and > I haven't used it lately. That's not too surprising, the solos dont really do the right thing, and you will end up with some distortion around the band changoever points. - Steve
