Another reason might be the midi clip created could get nudged out of time. Just quantize the midi track when done and it will line up

Put a ampersand in front of his name and he’ll get a notification @Daniel Bautista

You’ll need to load the clip into a Sample player VST which has a pitch bend option. There might be an audio version VST google it

Well geeze, I just turned the Scarlett down to 32 and the stupid thing won't glitch when I playback a song with 6 VST instruments all sample based, 5 audio tracks and dozens of effects all over the place. I have 4 instances of the LP Multi band and EQ, The BT brickwall, Bunch of Pro channel etc. What did they do to that last driver release? This is a 6i6 1st gen. It says 5.2 ms RTL? In the 6 years I've owned this I could never use it at even 128.

I’ve been swapping between my Scarlett and Motu interfaces and one thing I noticed was when using the Motu, the Mixing Latency slider is greyed out in Audio / Driver settings . I see why after reading another thread about this. This feature is not always supported in ASIO drivers So it seems to work with the Scarlett but here's the question. It doesn't seem to control the Scarlett's buffers when I open the ASIO control panel. They stay at 256 even when this slider is pushed to max. Does this actually change the buffers? But just for playback? If I hear a glitch can I use this instead of opening the ASIO settings in Mix Control? I thought it was for none ASIO driver modes so have never used it with my interface

Never mind I'll start a new thread, I didn't realize this was in Q&A

I’m not sure anyone could possibly wade through all that and make sense. I tried scrolling to the bottom on my phone and never did find it!

There are lots of tutorials in my signature is a link to my midi tutorials. The first parts are about working with a download file and later on I cover using you keyboards to create your own

It depends on how it installs. If it only requires a dll. then what you did should work. But if it depends on a licensing app, as in XLN, I don't think moving the dll. works. It will be tied to the original location. Re install the plug in and pay attention to all pathways if this is the case.

What @lapasoa said is what I’ve done for years. I finish playing the part until I can nail it in one take and the immediately record a second take. This is not a lead part just the chords So shouldn’t be hard to do.

That might have been me in another thread advising about not having separate reverb on each track. I think I did say that of course that depends on style and music. Also I probably said things like drums and guitars are traditionally recoded in rooms and we are often trying to duplicate that room with artificial space. I also think I said electric guitars traditionally had amp reverb also depending on style how much is used. the mud is perfectly described by Dave above. Those tails are the equivalent of playing the piano with the sustain pedal on. as I said it’s up to you what you think sounds right and the main thing is to set your routing so you have control of the mix at you fingertips

When you get a chance log on to Command Center and check everything is up to date. Even Platinum. Then for sure make a back up copy of the command centre download folder. It will have all your irreplaceable installers stored there. Also go to your my products page( I think that’s what it is called) and copy paste all you serial numbers to a word document kept this safe it’s worth a lot of money and if they ever do shut down the server it will be lost. just to add I have installed the Bandlab Cakewalk on at least 6 systems that all had old versions installed. Everything still works.

To prove there is no weirdness with phase or automation take one track and pull it out of sync by a 1/32 note. You should hear the delay between the tracks and even through the 8 bars

Back in the Green Day era the bands all wanted that big fat sound. Back then I was lucky to have 1 eq and 1 compressor. My method was we would double track the same big fat Marshall amp guitar and pan it hard left and right. The bass player used a pick and the eq was more low mids than sub bass. And I would put a eq boost at about 500hz on the kick. The guitars had a lot of low end and in those days you didn’t have fancy graphics to show them you used your ears ?

Trouble shooting is a process of elimination. Best practice is to swap things out until issues goes away. This can include things like USB ports and cables.

This was all stated in about the 6 th post by me I said go to the Yamaha web site and look for the model and see if there are any downloads. The op seems to have bought it second hand so manual and CD might not have been there

I didn't see the post with the whole song sorry, In context with the song the drums sounded a lot better. Mostly because the guitars drown them out but that's not a bad thing. You have some great guitar parts. Its an interesting sound scape you obviously put a lot of work into it. Keep it up. PS- This kind of belongs in the song forum?

So did you try replacing ez drummer with SI drums.

Thanks Steve Didn't find those You are the most amazing person I know for finding stuff! I'm reading as I reply. It Will take a while,, I totally forgot this thing has SPDIF! that seems the ticket. It's like a combo VST Hardware set up from what I'm reading. It will be very cool after all these years to get this to work. The big hurdle was the software. It's on a CD so nothing changed there, but something in Widows is now corrected. My guess is it wanted a Visual C++ that I didn't have before.

I did try and google this and seems nobody else got it to work but those posts are from 2008 ! I even logged on to the Harman forum bugg to it’s not very active

You should get that sorted out. There is hundreds of dollars worth of goods in there that you should have all backed up and backed up 3 fold or more. when Sonar was discontinued by Gibson we all collectively came up with a survival plan. That includes copying everything in the command centre download folder to a few storage drives and making a document for all those serial numbers.

Don’t reinstall Cakewalk. That rarely the issue. But do download the latest drivers for the interface and install. This sounds like a driver issue. Make sure you have optimized for audio Is the interface a thunderbolt? There can be issues with that if you have the wrong chipset

I love this hardware unit and it was in my live rig mostly for a few years. I continue to hook it up in the studio and in the past would just cable it up to my interface. But included with the unit is a CD with software I have tried to install it a few times and would always get some errors. I was told that the software was only for Windows XP. I just managed to install it to my W7 laptop and got all excited because it worked. I could select and edit and save patches. Cool. but what about this rumour that it was used as a VST inside a DAW? I managed to install it to my W10 machine and it worked fine there as well. On a hunch I opened the CD and yep, there’s a mx200.dll. So drop it in VST folder and it shows up in CbB. But, you insert the VST and the lexicon mix app shows up and says it can’t find the device. so looking in preferences I find it as a midi in /out option. Ticking that said cannot connect out of memory? has anybody ever gotten this app to work?

Tascam make good interfaces and the new generation seem to have real good drivers. I still use a us1641 without issue. I set it at Normal. The control panel doesn't use numbers but I think that's 256. I see the 4x4 is NOT bus powered - good. because I was going to point my finger at that. I'm having to buy a PCI USB card for my Motu M4 just because of stupid bus power. I'm getting pour sound right now with simple projects just like you. Motu sent me this document you might want to read. Troubleshooting USB Audio Problems on Windows.pdf I might be sending my Motu back and Tascam is high on my list of replacements. The Scarlett 4i4 is missing to many features compaired to the Tascam and the Motu. And having a power supply is one of them.

I'll just be honest- it sounds like a 5 year old kids first attempt at drumming with all those crashes in this world there are no rules but as far as a normal pop / rock mix goes there's just too much wrong with that. .
