Hi. Diva seems to be getting a lot of attention lately and I love its sound so I've been thinking I could try to find someone who would trade their Diva for my Zebra2 synth... I have demoed the plugin and found that many of the presets really bring my poor old 'puter to its knees. So the important question is can I bounce these sounds to a .wav without all those cracklings and glitches? I've tried this with the demo version and noticed there was crackling in the exported .wav file but I can't tell if its caused by the demo limitation or what. So if someone wiser could enlighten me about this I'd be very thankful. Can I export anything from Diva (even the most CPU hungry presets) into .wav without crackling? For the record I'm using FL Studio.

You probably should state what hardware and software you're using.

With the latest "official 1.1" demo release you should be able to do what you describe. Unless maybe you are running really old hardware or software.

When rendering the only reason to hear crackles while using the demo version is the demo crackles. You will get totally clean renders using the full version.

What I was most curious about is does computer power at all affect the quality of the exported .wav file or are the results the same on every setup (only it takes longer to export?). I'm not very knowledgeable in these things. Currently I'm not on my home computer right now so I can't provide full specs but these are from the top of my mind: 2.66Ghz, 4GB ram, and using a stock sound card (RealTek HD Audio if I recall correctly).

edit: Thanks for the reply chacka, this is what I was hoping for.

anybody else can confirm this?

No.

Depends... (FL Studio e.g. has different rendering quality settings)
If by setup you mean the used computer hardware... then, yes.

Some hosts offer two modes of mixdown: "offline" and "realtime". If your mixdown happens "offline" then you won't have any crackles related to CPU / performance issues. if you do so in "realtime" then you might have crackles, depending on how the host handles things.

We of course recommend to render offline, and use "Best" as offline quality setting.

Thanks for the reply Urs. It's possible that FL Studio might not have optimal rendering features... I'll have to look into this, and might even try downloading Reaper and exporting with it.

It isn't.

I had this problem with FL as well, it didn't seem to give any attention to Diva's different bounce quality. I just change the normal quality to Divine before I bounce it, then switch it back afterword. It's kind of annoying, but oh well.
