Logic Pro Mastering plug-in creating pop sound at playback start

Logic Pro issue: I'm trying out the Mastering plug-in on an audio track, and there is a slight pop sound at the very start of playback. The pop also comes through after bouncing the track. As far as I can tell, it seems to be caused by the Mastering plug-in, since I can only hear the pop when that plug-in is active. Anyone else experience this? Any tips?


Clarification: the project is 48 kHz, 128 sample buffer, 24-bit, in case that is relevant. Running on 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro M2 Max chip, 64 GB memory.

Yes I’ve seen this occasionally, but before I post my master I just take the bounced master and trim the start.
