Yes, I agree with the notion of knowing what you're doing. But even
the best laid schemes...
Two things come to mind. 
Granula synthesis via score generation caused me many headaches. You
don't have to be a novice for that to happen. Lots of tweaking cured it.
Dare I mention other DSP software... that provide options... even
defaults... even ask you before compilation.
errmmm.... that all being said, I have actually used the 32 bit
rescaling feature now and it seems to address that very problem. So
... thankyou all for your patience... I think I'll have a good cup of
tea.
