MIDI playback is between 5-10% at most. I still see a spike at sequence start and stop, but it appear that VST is the enemy, at least as far as my issues go.
Thanks for that tip. Xenon is my go-to when preparing a file for broadcast or cable.

Mine too... actually for all projects. Insert it on the master track at the end of the chain. Magic!

Funny, watching this thread and when it was all resolved piqued my curiosity to try Xenon. Really liking it so far, may become my new go to master limiter. Sorry you had problems with it but a good one for me.

It's a great expander limiter. I usually put the MW Limiter on individual tracks (VIs) to tame unruly ones down and put Xenon on the master track to level it all out for broadcast. No complaints about levels so far.
