Running the "Toggle FX offline for selected tracks" action while sound coming out of the track produces a loud ugly buzz (like when the CPU is busy and can't fill the buffer in time or something like that), while doing it by right-clicking on the effect -> "offline FX" doesn't produce any weird sound.
Shouldn't they do the same thing, is this a bug? The buzz even happens if the effect is bypassed.
I have midi learned the action and the buzz is really annoying...
Sorry it's probably not a bug with SWS after all, probably an issue with VSL convolution reverb.
I just retried and it only happens with VSL convolution reverb, no other plugins not even other VSL plugins. The buzz is around twice as long when I use the x64 version of VSL convolution reverb, on Reaper 32 bit (??). It sounds exactly like when the CPU doesn't have time to fill the ASIO buffer but it's a much longer and continuous buzz. It only happens when toggling it from offline to online. No buzz when toggling the plugin by right-clicking on the effect -> "offline FX".
The buzz sounds like a very fast repeating beep and that repetition becomes something like twice as slow when I double the number of samples in the ASIO buffer (I am usually at 128).
Just in case, Reaper 3.71 32 bit on Win7 64 bit, SWS 1.8.1 build 5 (oct 10 2010), Echo Miamidi PCI.
