>>>If so, try exporting in real time. Some synths and effects have issues with fast bounce.

I didn't see this the first time.

ah - another gap in my knowledge.  I only know how to Export Audio, and I believe that is the "fast bounce".  Where are the controls to export in real time located or what is the process please?


thanks

Never used BFD2.


You are lucky then my friend.  Works better in theory than in practice.

You're using 4 DXi synths:
Exactly which 4 are they? 
Is it multiple instances of the same DXi? 

You have spotted something no one else have, and I like your question.

It is multiple instances of the same DXi - four of them, each set slightly differently.  It's the M-Tron mellotron soft synth.

It tends to run hot, and I became aware of that months and months ago.


So, the first thing I do, BEFORE I start to mix is:

I open each synth, and turn the MASTER gain from wherever it's set (typically at around 90%) down to 50% or even 45 or 40 in extreme cases.

Then I also go into two internal modules of the synth, the A and B modules we'll call them, and reduce THEIR gain controls to a similar degree.  If I do NOT do this, I get MAJOR clicks, pops and MINOR explosions as well.

But by systematically always doing this, well, in many cases, I can almost get the clicks to zero.  It's just today, this track, this mix - it's SUPER quiet, it's mostly bass synths, it has silences, and, no matter how FAR I crank down the dxis, it STILL ends up clicking in the mix down.

I am PRETTY SURE that this is no longer a distortion issue due to the AMOUNT I have lowered the levels of the dxis = basically about 50% - still, end up with clicks in the mix.



So what is your thought then?  another user has suggested FREEZING the synths, which I am going to try ahead of all these other ideas.


Please let me know why you asked this question, and if you have any ideas or if having 4 of the same synth creates some special problem????


Thanks pal

Ok, having 4 instances of the same synth might be the issue during playback. I've found I can't run more than one instance of any of the Cakewalk synths without having clicks and pops.
Freeze all of them and it hopefully will fix your pops/clicks.

what about this "shut off Fast Mix" suggestion? What was that person talking about?

In the export dialog, there is a checkbox labeled "Fast Bounce". Un-check it to let the export happen in real time. The only downside is that if it's a 5-minute song it will take 5 minutes to export it.

I have new x2 producer and cant use it either.Yes I have tried all hardware and software options.Yes my computer is good enough.It seems after looking at the forums this problem is on 64 bit win 7 usually.Someone said to delete the 32 bit dlls.I dont know how to do this nor should I. My computer runs Pro Tools perfectly and Presonus perfectly.So I will use them till Sonar comes up with a fix.

Fist off this is the wrong forum for x1. 

When you say turn up the latency - you mean give it a longer length.  I don't think it's particularly tight right now, would have to look it up.

No, he meant to raise the number of samples in the ASIO driver control panel. So if you have it set to 128, raise it to 256 samples. That will increase the latency, but may eliminate the pops. 

This thread is from 2010. Yak needs to start a new thread in X1 forum

Nah, he said he had a workaround. Until then it is SONAR's fault. :)

So he's spent all that money and has now consigned it to the bin?

Interesting
