Hi.

My problem is that when I use NI Battery to create a basic beat, it jumps and cracks when I try to play the song. I only have this problem with NI Battery, no other VST instrumenst or my HW synth.

Anyone know why this is, and how to fix it?

SPECS:

cubase sx 2
terratec dmx 6fire
1,5GHz
768MG DDR

Thanks!

-Pat

I have the same problem. It got worse recently when my harddisk with the drumsamples went bad, so I think it has something to do with disk streaming or something.

Have you enabled 'Old Plugin Behavior' in the Devices > Plugin Information window?

Well, that solved my problem

That's what i had forgotten.

Hope it helped you too, Pouckypluysch

Cheers!

Not that I'm experiencing any problems, but what is this supposed to do?

My guess would be that it makes your plug-ins sound like Abe (Grandpa) Simpson. "Back in MY DAY, we had plug-ins... but we didn't call 'em PLUG-INS, WE called 'em 'installable interchangable modular devices'... and we darned well LIKED 'em! You kids these days, you just don't know how ta zzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

Battery 1 has had issues with sx2 straight from the get go... Slight incompatibility, I suppose. Checking Old plugin behavior makes Battery 1 run at an old plugin standard, fixing the pops, clicks, and timing issues.

Hm, thanks. But what does it actually change? Does it take some functionality away?

I had the same problem. After quantisizing a beat you can hear very annoying clicks and other noises.

You can hear it very clear with a TR-808 kit.

After setting Battery 1 to 'Old Host Behaviour' the problem is gone.

No functionality is taken away. All I really know is that it runs at a lower VST standard. Battery is an ancient plugin, and the new VST Standard interfers with this somehow.

I occasionally get a stagger (very slight pause before a beat plays) (esp. if two notes are set to play simultaneously) and flams play that aren't programmed in -- comes and goes as I'm building lines, but eventually settles in for consistent (but unprogrammed) behavior
could this be the same cause?

actually I kind of like it -- sort of humanizes some beats -- just hard to predict along the way

Definetly wrench. Worth a try atleast, and if you like the 'humanization' of it... You can't always just turn it off.

NI Battery cracks and jumps
