Audio Spectrum Effect Bug

A few issues with the Audio Spectrum effect:

 

1.> The Audio Spectrum effect will not respond to an audio layer (the Source of the effect) that uses a boosted Audio Levels value when that audio layer is in the same comp as the layer that uses the Audio Spectrum effect. (For example, a comp with 2 layers: (1) a solid layer with the Audio Spectrum effect, and (2) a sound file layer. The Spectrum Effect is using the audio layer as the effect Source, but the Spectrum effect is not strong enough, even with "Maximum Height" at max value. Boosting the Audio Level value of the audio layer has absolutely no effect on the Audio Spectrum effect. However:

 

2.> When using a pre-comp layer that contains audio as the Source of the Audio Spectrum effect for a layer in the same comp, the effect will react to a boosted Audio Levels value when the value is modified in the pre-comp; HOWEVER - if there are any cached frames of the Audio Spectrum effect, a Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache is ALWAYS required to see the results of the Audio Levels value modification on the Audio Spectrum effect.

 

Needing to always purge the cache to see the Audio Spectrum effect correctly is a big pain. Please fix.

 

Thanks.
