@iamlamprey Faust library search is hot trash. Your best bet is to go through all the libraries a couple of times and sorta learn all that's there. Also, use the github version for proper search (you can also learn how it was done). That's kind of where all their dev resources seem to be going.
@Oli-Ullmann I was using sendRepaintMessage from the main knob LAF as well, making a note to avoid that in the future as it gets ugly in the preview window/compiled plugin.
@d-healey
all working now..
i think i still had audio at the end of the samples from before because i was using a limiter when i exported the audio file with the fade...im assuming it still pulled up the audio in the sample after the fade.
i just couldnt hear it.
