Thanks for the quick reply!
If there were a switch to disable that or a fader to set the envelope time that could go to zero, it would definitely be an improvement for my current experiment.
Glad it helped! The waveform offset was not strictly intentional, but I checked it on an external oscilloscope and the source signal is indeed offset. It is from a wavetable synth. I guess that particular wavetable happens to be offset to only have positive voltages.
Just tried this using a 50ms buffer and a more traditional looking signal. It worked, so your theory seems right on the money. Is the recorder looking for a zero crossing or something? I suppose this signal didn’t have one.
Ok, I wasn’t 100% sure what the fade parameter did, and thought maybe it was related to the volume drop punching in and mentioned above. I will repeat, and leave it at it’s default value and see if the pop is eliminated. It was the same signal as above that I was recording, BTW, not a pre-recorded sample.
