Why am I getting random bleeps and blurps in MC5?

 Hey, everyone!  Yea, I'm using Music Creator 5 or course, but I also have Sound Forge 10.  Sound Forge 10 has some descent vst plug-ins in my opinion.  But whenever I load one in MC5, it bleeps and blups like every 5 seconds.  Even with nothing playing.  Everything is stopped and it starts doing it as soon as I load the plug-in onto any track.  Anyone know what's causing this?  Thanks in advance!

  Thanks again Kalle.  Well that stinks!  Weird, they never did that when I was using Music Creator 3!  Anyway......Thanks a lot. 

Amplitube needs to be registered.

Guitarhacker


He said it's from Soundforge plugs.... perhaps they need to be registered but he also said it worked fine in MC3.  and the noise comes with nothing playing, everything stopped.... I though Amplitube added the noise in playback only. 


edit: if amplitube is in a track on a guitar.... and you are getting the "static burst" every 10 seconds or so, that would be Amplitube since, until it's properly registered, (separate from MC's registration)  it will cause those bursts while it runs in demo mode. But... I was also thinking that it did that ONLY during playback of the tracks. 

actually he didn't say it is happening in Soundforge if you read his original message.  he says he HAS soundforge too, but he didn't say the beeps are coming from soundforge.  he said that when he loads MC it comes from MC without doing anything.
 
but if he meant it was coming from SF too, then it's not amplitube.
 
if it's coming from MC only when he loads MC then he's got the same problem everyone else has when they first install MC without registering amplitube.  in MC they put amplitube on the NORMAL TEMPLATE, so it loads automatically with a new project.  if it's not been registered it will beep make a "static burst" as guitarhacker said.  it's not really a "beep"
 
"beeps" can come from other non-registered VSTs or synths, but if it's happening on the start up of a normal template in MC the it has to be amplitube unless he has changed his normal template.

I downloaded the SF 10 Studio demo version. Haven't opened it yet, but I did notice on the website that the product must be registered within 30 days. It doesn't say what happens after 30 days, but that could be unwanted noise or total shutdown of the program.

we definitely need more input from metaltek

I give.  uncle.  I reread again and you two are right.  I am wrong.  he does state that he loads SF10 VST into MC5.

sorry.

Things might have changed in the years since i used Sound forge and Acid, but their plugs used to be DX based.

Also, just for the record.  I'm using a SB Audigy 2.  I know, I know.  Far from the best, but it gets the job done.  That's actually the next thing on my list.  And it won't be anything from Creative.  A third party had to make a driver so it would even function on Windows 7.  And that's just for games and stuff.  The inputs will not work, period, with Windows 7.  I already spent about 2-3 days down that road, all over the net.  So I have dual boot with MC5 on XP.

And Sound Blasters are marketed more toward gaming and listening, not for recording, but Creative Professional's line of E-Mu interfaces are worth looking at. Quite a few of the members here use E-mu devices.

Sound and blasters are marketed more towards games and listening, not recording, but online Creative Professional E-Mu interface is interesting to watch. Many members here use the E-MU units.

Metaltek.... yeah the bots have a hard time getting in through the verification but real slimeballs can still get in and post... yup... its a spammer and I reported it...


OK back to music:

You'll find that this forum is quite lively and filled with many who just love to help people having issues. It gets slow at times but always check back on threads you post or comment on here in MC... 

As far as sound cards.... SB & Emu are not on my list of the better ones to use. I've never tried to use a SB card but I did have an Emu-0404 and it was so freaking frustrating to work with I ended up selling it on E-Bay just to get rid of it. 

Many here use the cards Cake sells, I like the M-Audio and Focusrite cards...I still use my old Focusrite Saffire, and if it dies I'll likely buy another Focusrite.  Nothing is as sweet as recording with a card that actually makes the process seamless. 

Glad you got the OP solved. 

@Guitarhacker - Yea that doesn't surprise me.  I think I've got my eye on something from M-Audio.

@Beagle - Ill have a look.

(25 mins. later) Nice page.  Thanks it was very informative.  I see you also recommend the M-Audio.  I think that's a winner.

Thanks Again Everyone!

ah, thanks peeer!  victoria forgot the links. 


pretty poor spammer who forgets the links...
