mix downs

[JYM]

Are you declaring you cannot get SM to mixdown in mixcraft, if so It appears my only option is accept afforded refund offered. As a matter of intrest I loaded a christmas day SM demo no problem, which prompts me to ask Is it the full 32 bit version and not the 64 bit version in the full 32 bit link sent to my Eddress?

441 bytes sounds suspiciously like they're using a 10ms buffer (441 = 1/100 of 44100) - try mixing/rendering at 48000hz (if they are doing that you'll then get a 480 byte buffer - sm will be happy and you'll get sightly better audio too)

I ran into similar issues with a braindead asio driver - it'd give an odd size buffer at 44.1 - stopping sm working - and it refused to correctly honour having a user specified blocksize - going to 48khz was the easiest work around (in my case I can still render at 44.1 if I wish - don't both though as I never cut to cd)

cheers for the advice, all the best for the forth coming new year.

The sm demo does load into mixcraft when set to 4800 in wave rt does mix sm down to wav. The 2 54 126 full update version for whatever rerason does not even show up in thew host. A light at the end of the tunnel.

Two things to check

Firstly, mixcraft uses the vst internal id code to identify vsts - if you've got both the demo and he full version installed ( and they have the same vst id - quite likely ) you'll only see one in the plugin list

Secondly, mixcraft will flag any vst it has issues loading as 'bad' and never load it - have a look in the mixcraft program dir, there should be a vstignore.ini file - load it into notepad and if there's any references to sm delete them, save and relaunch mixcraft - it'll rescan and hopefully pick up sm

Finally fixing this "longstanding" issue (for 8 years!) FOR GOOD

Testing now, once I am confident that it is working I'll post the update this weekend.

So far, it has NOT been possible to use "arbitrary" buffer sizes with SynthMaster, so if your audio interface/DAW uses millisecond buffers SynthMaster was TOTALLY USELESS!

I think it was high time we should end this stupid design limitation

Cheers everyone,
