Audio File Specifications for Distribution

Getting ready for my first album release and it seems audio files submitted need to be 44.1kHz and 16-bit stereo audio ONLY. I've been rendering WAV files for a few years to Soundcloud at 48kHz and 24-bit stereo and that's what I default to. So I went ahead and rendered one track at 44.1 / 16bit and...

How to record and manipulate an effect over a track

So I'm watching a demo video of Movement by Output...which I have....and the guy is manipulating it on a track that is already recorded....but all the while recording what he is doing. So my question is can I and if so how do I take a track in a project already recorded and "play" an effec...

Using samples and midi file for a beat

I've used Mixcraft for years but this is the first time I've tried to use a downloaded midi file to drive a beat using downloaded samples. I know it sounds stupid but how do I get the midi to play the samples. I opened Omni sampler, dropped the samples into it and laid the midi file on the track but...

Hi Greg and Mark,

That seemed to solve it.

Re: effects are not heard on mixed down wav file

Thanks for the suggestion Mark....but no dice. Mixed down to 32 Bit float and still the plug ins are dropped. I don't get it. I've been using Echoboy forever in MC7 and MC8.... now almost all 3rd party plugins drop out. I swear it just happened after I upgraded to Build 396. AND... I opened up MC7 a...

Re: effects are not heard on mixed down wav file

So I did some quick tests and right off the bat acoustica effects "stick" .... Echoboy by Soundtoys and Movement by Output do not...... even in my older projects when they did work before. Haven't tested any of the other effects. Tested in other DAWs and everything works flawlessly. It mus...

effects are not heard on mixed down wav file

2nd time posting this issue. I've been using Mixcraft for years so it's not something fundamental. Project sounds great with effects applied to tracks. After mix down to a wav file the tracks that had effects are dry. I tried MP3 and same result. Using build 396. Any ideas?

Effects bypass automation fail

I have Echoboy on a track and I have automated the "bypass".....so it's bypassed 100% most of the time and then drops down to let it in at certain short spans. The issue is it sounds great at playback...but after the project is mixed down to WAV it's not automated....it's bypassed the whol...

Re: Perplexing problem....Help!

well I bought and hooked up a Nektar Impact GX61 and all works great. Must have been the board. I needed a bump up to a 61 key board anyway so it was a good excuse. Thanks for all the suggestions. BTW if anyone is looking for a new decent priced midi board the Nektar is very nice. Great feel..... su...

Re: Perplexing problem....Help!

Hey Greg, Any and all...MC7 or MC8. I can fire up a new project, Load Omnisphere and nothing. Midi input light flashes when a key is pushed but no sound or level meter activity. I can then load a second virtual instrument track along side Omnisphere ( Glass Viper, FM8, etc) and it works fine. But I ...

Re: Perplexing problem....Help!

Yes, still happens after reboot. I use the word perplexing because it works fine with other VST's and Mixcraft instruments.....so why only some? If the board was bad wouldn't it not work at all? ALSO my Mininova will trigger them all..... so that would rule out an issue with Kontakt and Omnisphere.....

Perplexing problem....Help!

I don't believe this is a Mixcraft issue but I'm stumped. This morning all of the sudden my midi keyboard will not trigger certain VSTs. No event caused this to my knowledge. I've been using My M-Audio Keystation for months with no issues. This morning things got weird. This is consistent with both ...

Re: sound of midi files from EZDrummer 2

Just want to add that you want to highlight, then "mute" the clips in EZD2 if you have dragged them over to MC but left them in EZD2 (which you really want to do for later easy editing)......otherwise they'll both be playing at the same time and you'll get a louder and somewhat distorted p...

Re: Stranded out in the Desert of 8 crashville

Sorry for the delay...was out of town on business. Mark, I think you're onto something. Seems to be scanning a broader spectrum. They eventually will load... just takes forever. An odd thing I noted is that sometimes it looks like it's loaded, hit play and it "plays" fine....except the ver...
