I ran into the same problem. Bounced out a final mix. Started a new session for mastering and that would play normal, then KaBOOOOOM. Distortion. Switching the multithreating to Playback only solved the problem. Except now I have to switch the multithreading every time I go for a mastering session. Not the end of the world by any means. Thanks for the confirmation video.

It's strange that you keep having to switch the multithreading setting. I wonder if the setting is somehow saved into your template? I didn't think it was project specific, but maybe it is.

[@KCOR3_Official]

It might have to do with the Gain on the submix buss. I’m going to do some tests. But you’re right. I should have to do it every time.

Thanks for this, Roman! I sent your video to the email thread I had going with the Screen Composers Guild of Canada members where I was having this issue a few months ago. It's been sorted, thanks for the great tip!

[@RomanRiccio]

Awesome! It's great to hear that your issue has been sorted and thanks for sharing my video with the guild!

Nice sounding track ... got a 'smooth sounds of the 70's' vibe to it ... Play some Christopher Cross or some 10cc dude. 😁

[@RomanRiccio]

Thank you!

Hi. Also if you are you using a lot of VSTs you might need to give them time to fully load. I see your buffer size is in the 100s but I will push to 500s if you are just in the studio recording. For anyone else reading this change your ram to 16-32Gb and upgrade your SSD for better performance. Good tip sir🙌🏾

[@RomanRiccio]

@@ThatDevOpsKid Right on, thanks!

[@bradparsonsmusic]

Thanks for the suggestion. This sadly didnt work for me. Hopefully ill find a cure ;-)

[@RomanRiccio]

Don't give up! The answer is out there somewhere. :)

[@harald144]

This won’t affect the export right ?

[@RomanRiccio]

Yes, there should be no impact on the export.

@@RomanRiccio hey i’m using using Imac 2020 with 3.8GHz 8 core intel core i7 and 32 GB ram..and i’m keep getting cpu overload msg..so i tried all the troubleshooting steps like changing buffer size enabling low latency and freezing tracks but it didn’t work..then i tried using buses for every single channel strip for ex when there are 200 tracks i use 200 buses cuz i apply atleast saturation to every instrument which varies in the amount and type so will this help or worsen the cpu overload state?

@@navierproductions709 I've never tried to work with that many tracks, but if you need that many I think it might work better on a computer with an Apple silicon chip.
