HI, rharv.

not so much a 2025 vs 2018 issue
How so? when I'm using the exact same style but only BB2025 makes the hiss noise.

To make it less noticeable, is there EQ in BB?

I tried other similar styles but so far they all make the hiss noise after the tempo change.

I've done some experiment with BB2025, and found an interesting fact.
The odd first count only occurs when the tempo is at or under 67.
Also, if I make the tempo change from fast to slow, there's no hiss noise.
