'Start new files' during recording glitches + crossfades question
I had a couple of related questions. One is whether the 'start new files' feature ever 1gb or so is meant to create an audible click between the two items?
Sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's not, which I guess is down to the material in question and where the wave form is at the point it's cut. But does Reaper not automatically safeguard against this?
Secondly, I've noticed standard crossfades sometimes 'swell' in volume. When this is noticeable I switch the crossfade to a linear X shape, but I wondered why this only happened some of the time?
On other other occasions I've found the default 'logarithmic' (i.e. curved crossfade) to sound more seamless, and I actually hear an audible dip when I switch to the linear crossfade.
Why doesn't one size fit all?

Only with disabled latency compensation (no offsets). (Preferences/Audio/Recording)

Why do you need to create new files at all? Just record as one file (Wave64, RF64) - solved.

Recording 2-3hr concerts at 96k with stereo pairs of mics quickly fills up space! Reaper defaults to a new file every 1gb but this would need to be changed to 8gb to cover some of our jobs 🎙

I don't see the problem. 8 x 1GB vs 1 x 8GB = same disk space.

Hmm the switch should happen gaplessly in the recording. If you’re hearing that, maybe the items mistakenly ended up having small fades in and out at the transition point? Can you doublecheck that?

Disregard dstruct’s post, it is unrelated; you shouldn’t be getting gaps in autoswitched recordings (unless for some reason it triggers an audio underrun, which would only happen if things are running very close to maximum real-time CPU use)...

Thanks Justin. There are no fades happening when I zoom in. If anything the two files look like they overlap by less than a sample, but there are no red curve lines.

I think you found the culprit.

Yes though Reaper made them overlap not me, and it's too small an overlap to drag apart...
