Re: Kilohearts Essentials

Too many people are swayed by the fancy look of a plugin's UI, rather than its simple usability. That's something the likes of Plugin Boutique is fond of taking advantage of.

Re: Kilohearts Essentials

I do like the hard limiter. Simple and effective.

Kilohearts Essentials

A very nice suite of free, no-nonsense effect plugins. Perhaps Acoustica might even be interested including some or all of these in future releases...

Re: MP3 panning issue

Greg,

Windows 11? I haven't even got around to leaving Windows 7 yet! :D

Anyway, I found the cause of the problem being in the 'Enhancements' settings of Windows Media Player. Somehow, the 'SRS WOW Effects' had become enabled. Now that's disabled, everything works correctly.

Thanks for your help.

Re: MP3 panning issue

Greg.

There are no sound enhancements because I use a no frills ASIO driven Audiophile 2496 sound card. It's obviously a Windows Media Player issue so I'll have to figure the problem out for myself.

Anyway, thanks for your prompt assistance.

EDIT: Solved. WOW effects in WMP were switched on.

Re: MP3 panning issue

Greg,

I was using Windows Media Player. I just tried playing both files in VLC Media Player and they worked correctly.

The hardware is the same.

What does this mean then regarding Windows Media Player, which is the cause of the problem?

Re: MP3 panning issue

Greg,

We seem to be getting somewhere here. I loaded both the WAV and MP3 files into Mixcraft, and they worked correctly. So it's only when they play as standalones that the problem occurs.

Re: MP3 panning issue

Hi, Greg. I didn't use any effects in the project. I only used a single continuous string ensemble from the Mixcraft instruments. Inside the project, everything works as it should. With the one loudspeaker that is turned up, the sound is on and off for one measure respectively. I just tried mixing d...

MP3 panning issue [Solved]

I've noticed an issue when mixing down to the Lame MP3 facility. I created a track that repeatedly alternates between 100% left and 100% right for a number of measures, and then mixed it down to 320 kbps, Stereo MP3. However, when I played the MP3 track through my loudspeakers, I found that it wasn'...

Re: EZ Drummer 2

EzDrummer used to really drive me mad with its 'unlively sound when inserted in the mix. Then, by mistake, I put a limiter plugin on it, with the threshold pushed down, and it sounded far more beefy. The same effect can be achieved with the Acoustica compressor, selecting the 'Limiter' preset, but w...

While you're at it, why not ask when everyone can expect the release of Mixcraft 11? :roll:

Automatic Double Tracking

I was looking through the plugins4free website recently, and noticed an old 32-bit plugin called 'Unstable'. Seeing what it does, ie. adds instability to the audio signal and allows it to be combined with the original via a mix control, I realised that this might work as an automatic double tracking...

Re: Waves plugins incompatible with Mixcraft? Crashing each time

Yes, it worked. I just loaded my last MC8.1 saves, removed the offending Waves VST3 plugins, and it all functions as normal again.

FluMusic wrote: Thu Jun 23, 2022 11:44 am Alright I think I got it working. Had to do some workarounds and it seems none of the VST3 plugins work, only non VST3
Does this mean that build 470 will work with Waves v9 if all VST3 plugins in the project are changed to VST2?
