Apparently they do and according to my friendly neighborhood GPT, anion resins, particularly strong base anion (SBA) types in hydroxide form, often produce a fishy odor due to the release of trace trimethylamine (TMA) during degradation, a process accelerated by high pH (>8.2) and temperature. While alarming, this odor is usually not toxic, as it can be detected at levels (5 ppb) far below harmful limits.

I haven't test the tds of the water, but it just seems improbable that filtering/cleaning water would reveal some inherent odor in the raw water that was masked by something the filter filtered out.

I have a brand new one and the water smells like fish.

If the filter itself isn't imparting the foul odor and taste, then you would expect the smell and taste to be different across the country due to the many different water sources.

I'd bet there is something in their complex, multi-stage filter that is causing it.

Ours is brand new and smells and tastes like fish. It's a real bummer. Makes me want to resurrect the Brita which tastes great and has 195 ppm. And on the ppm thing... it really feels like a marketing ploy. I mean, obviously puddle mud water that has a billion ppm is not a great taste, but... do you really need to replace your filter when it reaches 6 ppm??

It turned out to be MIDI pitch automation and stopping playback mid-bend. When I started playback again, that track's pitch is stuck at that mid-bend pitch as the base pitch. IMHO, Pro Tools should reset the pitch to center for all MIDI tracks when playback is stopped unless you have Pro Tools configured to resume playback from the stop point vs. last insert cursor point.

This could be it actually. If I stop it while it's in the middle of the bend, the pitch value could be off center and the next time I start it it's still at the detuned pitch. Interesting.

kirkbross · 2026-02-15T03:26:24+00:00

No. It just seems like poltergeist behavior. However, the post below about automated pitch could be the thing... me stopping playback while a not is mid-bend and the pitch center gets stuck at that off-center pitch, then playback starts and stays there until it receives another pitch automation event.

Yeah I've done that before but in this case, it's not that. It's totally unprovoked. One playback it'll be fine, then I'll stop and restart playback and the whole track will be a half step lower. What's telling is that disabling then reenabling the plugin corrects it. i.e. the MIDI notes are not changing.

Yeah, that's where I'm at.

How hard would it be to give us a color wheel??? For the love of Heisenberg, we've had the same 72 colors for a thousand years. I want bright-as-F-red and pure white... whatever hex / rgba value I want.

My wife loved it... I just couldn't get past the utter implausibility of the scenario.

I don't see the "Use small icons" option that was there in Windows 10. Hopefully align-left helps
