Try it with Merge All and make sure the MIDI out of the MIDI track in CbB is set to the correct output channel of the MOTU.

Do you have the Merge All preset selected on the MOTU?

I've got the AAA maple top trans blue. My mother bought it for me before she passed away. Great guitar!!

I like the Godin LGXT; I also have the ACS Nylon SA and a Fender MIA strat with a roland GK-2A. Currently I'm using an sy-1000 and a gr-55.

Hi. I have Melodyne Editor, which IS a polyphonic version, although I've never tried anything like what I'm talking about. I'd want to "get rid of/delete/ignore?" the audio portion of my strumming performance and keep only the strumming "triggers" if that's what they're called, so I can trigger acoustic guitar VSTs. Will have to explore this. 

I haven't tried any of the guitar vsts so I have no idea how they work. I've used Melodyne Editor on bass guitar lines. I've converted a few to MIDI and then turned those into groove clips. That's pretty straight forward.

I've got the Godin LGXT. Which one do you have? (I have the same guitar synth too)

I've got one as well.

Capture the audio and use Melodyne to convert to MIDI. Do you have the polyphonic version? There is also Jam Origin. It converts audio to MIDI. I haven't tried it.

Glad you got it sorted. I wouldn't have thought of that.

So I got AT 5 as part of a larger purchase on an IK deal and it has sat on my SDD for awhile before I had the time to look at it. It reminded me some of THD. I plugged my guitar in and got no sound. I went to my amps and tried to select a few. Still nothing. Went back to AT4, everything works great. So far I'm not impressed. I'm either slow off the line or this isn't as intuitive as AT4. AT 5 is so different it looks like I need to relearn how to use it.  If I didn't need to play quiet sometimes I'd just go buy another real amp and be done with it. I should have the full program. Doesn't look like a lite version, so I'm not sure what gives. I'm not computer illiterate, but apparently I'm missing a few things here. Anyone else having similar issues?

A number of people, including myself, had problems with audio output from the standalone version. If that's your problem go to settings and change the audio output device to something else and then change it back to what you want. Once you do that it should be fine.

Indeed MSuperLooper looks interesting.  Does it have multiple audio outputs or is it a stereo out plugin? Have not yet found the info. I'll also have a look at the Augustus.

I'm also kind of interested by the ENSO looper.  After watching a couple of tutorial vids I'll install a demo of one of them.

I have three dlls - MSuperLooper, MSuperLooper16in16out, MSuperLooper16out, but I've only used the stereo out. Augustus has some interesting features so it's worth a look. 

I like MSuperLooper. There is also Augustus Loop from expert sleepers. 

There's a difference between playing solo and playing in a band. Playing in a band not only changes your sound, it can change how you play. If you know the bass is playing the low note in a chord you may leave it out of the guitar chord. I think a good musician considers their role in a band. Do you think of how you sound or how the band sounds? I think in a band first you consider how the band sounds and then how you sound in the band. My 2 cents.

Always willing to try and boost data throughput performance, in this case USB port speed for my Focusrite 4i4 interface.  If it’s plugged into a 5Gbps USB port, is there a marked advantage to installing a PCIe USB card that has a  10 Gbps capability? If it helps to improve audio latency balancing act,  seems like an upgrade to consider.  Or, is latency unrelated to a faster USB connection?

What I've read is that usb 3.0/3.1 provides more bandwidth (you can have more channels), but doesn't improve latency. That's why we haven't seen a lot of new usb 3/3.1 interfaces. If you have other devices on your usb hub besides the interface it may help due to increased bandwidth/throughput.

Just saw this thread today. I always power up the M4 after I login in so that may be part of the reason I'm not having problems.

 So just now I opened this thread and seeing what @rsinger said about USB ports I swapped the Motu to my front USB 3 ports and now I'm not hearing crackles at 256 but 128 seems just as bad as before? I fail to see how it would make a difference but the M4 does come with a USB C connector so ?? FYI the Scarlett is still plugged into the USB 2 ports on the back. This machine only has 2 USB 3 ports and I like to reserve them for external drives. 

 

I have the M4 connected to a USB 3 port and the only other thing on the hub is a USB Drive I use for backup and it isn't running when I'm doing audio work. IIRC the M2/M4 are USB 2. When I was having the problem with the bad USB PCI card I tried the M4 into my laptop. That was USB 2 and it worked fine. It's an old laptop so I had the buffer set to 128 and it worked fine with no crackles, but I didn't try 64. 

Easy, Boss SY-1000

My M4 is running fine. After a week or two I got a lot of crackles that had me worried, but it was a bad PCI USB card. The M4 is running fine for me now. It's pretty solid with a buffer size of 64. I ran the old sample projects - Cory Yarckin Floating and  Shifty and the Big Shots. I think they're around 30 tracks.  I did a simple song with 15 or 16 tracks. Five or six audio tracks, Kontact, Reaktor Prism, 2 instances of Omnisphere with 3 patches, 2 instances of Korg Arp Odyssey, Korg Mono/poly, Alchemy. At 64 I did have to load Kontact, Omnisphere, and Alchemy at the start of the project or I would sometimes get a click when they loaded.

I haven't got Win 10 tamed yet. It will do the occasional virus scan in the background (and I don't know what else) and that will cause crackles. If I set the buffer to 128 I don't have to worry about some of those Win 10 unknowns.

The Audio Driver set up menu...where you chose your Audio Device and Input and Output settings

I had to change them and set them back. Now it's working - thanks.

I had this same problem and solved it buy just going to settings and "clicking" on the "output setting", at which point sound started
coming through...so might want to give that a try.  For some reason, even though the output setting shows, it's not starting when 
the program is launched in Stand Alone mode

Do you mean open the settings menu? I saw your early comment and tried that, but maybe you mean something else?

It's working for me. I'm on my laptop 

Windows 10 Pro, 20H2, 19042.685

1920 x 1200

It works on my DAW as well. I'll add that info later. I don't get any audio output on the stand alone version on my laptop or DAW. The app shows output, but it doesn't make it to the interface. My laptop is 9 years old so it's lacking in graphics support - the vst doesn't render in Live 10 on the laptop, but it's fine on my DAW.

Interesting, wasn't aware of that thanks rsinger. 

I am half way through a Core membership and wasn't planning on renewing but this is making me wonder about going pro to get the Jupiter 8 or maybe D50 for life for $99.  I actually quite like Zenology and the ever expanding library of presets but I find myself not using them as I know that projects I use them on will stop working when I stop paying Roland for the privilege. 

NP. It's not clear to me exactly how it works. Pro membership only comes with the D50 and TR808 so it's possible you can only get one of those with Pro.

https://www.rolandcloud.com/roland-account/memberships/

The wording is -

The Roland Cloud Holiday promotion Play 4 Life is back! For a limited time, purchase one year of Roland Cloud Pro or Ultimate Membership and get free Lifetime Key(s). Keep your favorite instrument for life, even if you don’t renew your membership. Use Roland Cloud for 365 days and discover which instruments you want to Play 4 Life. Act now, this promotion ends on December 31, 2020.

That implies it's one of the instruments that's part of the membership.

In Roland Cloud Play 4 Life. Scroll down a bit under news on the left. For a limited time, purchase one year of Roland Cloud Pro or Ultimate Membership and get free Lifetime Keys. Pro gets you one key and Ultimate gets you two. Then see membership - Pro $99.99 yr, Ultimate 199.99 yr. Then under Software Legendary stuff are $149 so you save $49 bucks and get a years membership. I like the their TR-808 better than the D16 so I may go for the Pro. I like the Jupiter 8 as well, but I have a jp-8080 and don't really need the Jupitar 8. I'm assuming only the emulations available under the membership are eligible for purchase.  

Pro on desktop and laptop. Mostly because I can disable automatic updates cleanly and update when I want.

If I'm not interested in using Rigs, is upgrading from TH-3 to TH-U worth it? (e.g. modelling quality, features, etc) I already have Bias FX 2  (yeah, I know some people say it's rubbish, but I think it sounds good enough for me)

I think so. I mostly use the Brunetti and bass gear in TH-U and I don't think the Brunetti stuff changed. I'm not a fan of the iRig stuff ...

What’s New

In addition to the models available in TH3, TH-U includes:

15 new amplifiers, including the Superlead and Superbass models, Polytone jazz amplifiers and DVmark Triple 6 head

14 new cabinets

Rig Player, reproduces models captured from real setups

Amp Tweaks, mod amplifiers by customizing pre and power tubes

A Shimmer Reverb and a Shimmer Delay

An improved and redesigned Cabinet IR module

A new multitrack looper

Search function on the preset banks

That depends   It is common to have a bus with reverb. If I want to create a sense of space I do this or if it's atmospheric and so on. Reverb is also an fx - spring reverb on guitar or EP or something will be on an individual instrument. Compression is similar. You may want to compress individual instruments; you may want to level out the bass or rhythm guitar or it may give you a sound, but you may also have compression on a buss that groups some instruments together or the on the whole mix.

In ASIO version 2.2 of the development kit -

1. Big Endian formats

The basic types, sample data is left aligned in the data word. The most significant Byte of the data word is stored first in memory.

ASIOSTInt16MSB 16 bit data word (fewer than 16 bits are not supported)

ASIOSTInt24MSB This is the packed 24 bit format. 2 data words will spawn consecutive 6 bytes in memory. (Used for 18 and 20 bits as well, if they use this packed format)

ASIOSTInt32MSB This format should also be used for 24 bit data, if the sample data is left aligned. Lowest 8 bit should be reset or dithered whatever the hardware/software provides.

ASIOSTFloat32MSB IEEE 754 32 bit float, as found on PowerPC implementation

ASIOSTFloat64MSB IEEE 754 64 bit double float, as found on PowerPC implementation 

 

Presumably if ASIO 2.2 is supported then ASIOSTFloat32xxx and ASIOSTFloat64xxx should be supported.
