yeah, this is static.
the gain on the tracks is clipping mildly, but it's covered by the compression on the master. it took me a few tries to figure it out (and fears my drivers were broken again...), but rendering the tracks separately through the initial eqs is introducing clipping that transfers over - because they clip clean, when not sent through the compression. that's not something i can work around. modifying the volume will modify the null.
again: the neurotic geek in me wants bitwise perfection, but the a/b's tell me this is pointless, anyways.
