Unexpected volume reduction when voice is regarded as "below threshold"

0 votes
I set my project's volume threshold to -30 to send some unnecessary SFX to virtual list. However, I don't want this setting to affect my music section. Therefore, I set the Virtual Voice Settings of my music switch container to 'Continue to play'.
At the same time, there is a RTPC for the users to control the volume of music.
The problem is: when the user move their slider to this point (close to the left end but still have some space). The volume of music will suddenly be reduced to -infinite.  Seems the volume threshold setting does not allow high threshold in this way. I couldn't find anything in the documentation about this problem. Is there a way to avoid voice reduction when the voice is regarded as 'under threshold'? It would be great if there are relative documentation & best practice contents added.

Hey,

Please check if you use any reverb on this element.

When you use reverb - direct sound is muted under volume threshold, but the reverb is still active and voice is not virtualized.

After disabling reverb send voice starts to behave as it should.

Thanks audiokinetik
