i don't know why we have to assume i'm so inept... i wouldnt be asking if i didn't find this weird. of course the whole machine is offline and has never touched the net.
i actually nuked everything and started with a clean win10, formatting everything (had to do it more than a few months ago eheh). result? same behaviour is still showing: until you open the plugins one by one, they will play noise every minute or so.

 

@Backtired check sister site today as TCD released a small update for the bundle and Tracer has made a patch to sort out any noise issues.

 

hello Sam, thanks for the notice. i have solved this yesterday thanks to his help.
if anyone is experiencing any similar problems (noise playing on project load, patches going back to INIT STATE, etc), give His patch a try. it's worked flawlessly for me

 

So it was TCD's crack after all

 

You're very welcome and what a guy Tracer working with you to fix the issue which seemed to only affect some.

I suppose only Tracer will know what was wrong and how he fixed the issue and also probably (r2r)
