Re: Toneboosters

I own many of the current (v4) TB plugins, so don't use the MC-bundled ones. My understanding is that the MC-ones are a previous version (v3?) from TB.

In any case, TB-plugs are excellent, current version or not.

Re: Playback issues with Mixcraft 9

... Other tracks don't seem to have this problem so I wonder if it could be something to do with the track...corrupt? and if so, is there a way of fixing it? Two possibilities: 1) Some background task is starting at a time coinciding with bar 29 and causing glitches, or 2) A corrupt track (IMO, the...

ASIO was selected and I got no sound at all.
This is odd. What's your audio interface/ sound card?

Re: Midi Lag

Also, newer PCs are almost exclusively USB3 ports, and depending on the chipset on the hub, may not be 100% backwards compatible with older USB2 devices.

If your audio interface has MIDI IN/OUT ports, use those connections to your keyboard instead of USB.

Re: Is it possible to go back to previous OS build in MixCraft?

... I’m trying to isolate an issue I’m having with a VST, and want to see if the previous OS fixes it. Do you really mean previous O.S. (like Windows 7/8 instead of Win 10)? Or previous build of Mixcraft ? Both are possible; but the former would require wiping your hard drive and installing Win 7/8...

Re: Latency with MC9 and Tascam US16x08

Make sure you've downloaded/installed the latest drivers for your interface from Tascam. After the install, reboot your system.

Then follow this video guide for setting up in Mixcraft:

Re: POWER USAGE WINDOWS 10

If you haven't already, press CTL-ALT-DEL - click Task Manager - Startup tab. You will see a list of all tasks running at startup.

Disable every task you don't recognize (Be aggressive. None of these are system-critical, and can be easily re-enabled). Restart your system.

Re: POWER USAGE WINDOWS 10

... I am using the old, 32-bit Classic plugins by Kjaerhus, which I like very much- they're usage reads Very Low, but I wanted to mention that. That could be it. The older the plugin, the more likely it can cause problems. Troubleshoot without those plugins. Or start a new project, or even one of t...

Re: Using my Roland AX-7 keytar as a midi controller

... Is is the case that since mixcraft doesn't recognize it, I can't use it as a midi controller, or am I not right on this? ... That's correct. Still troubleshooting... Since you're using the MIDI interface on the UR22mk2, make sure the ur22mk2 firmware/drivers are the latest from Steinberg's site...

Re: Using my Roland AX-7 keytar as a midi controller

Some things to look at: - Ensure you have the latest firmware/software/drivers for the keyboard installed. - Use AC power for the keytar. Especially important if you're on a laptop. - I'm assuming the UR22Mk2 and keytar are both connected to PC via USB-cable. If you are using USB3 (blue inner strip)...

Re: MC8 forcing me to use wrong tempo [solved]

Okay, I checked the speed of the loop again by metronome without dragging it into a DAW...

It checks out at 105 bpm!

But then after dragging it into either Mixcraft or Cakewalk, it play back at 120 bpm.

So yeah, looks like there's something odd with the clip.

Re: MC8 forcing me to use wrong tempo

Have you audibly checked the beats against a metronome? I did, and it comes out to about 118 bpm. Not perfect, but rounding up, that's 120.

Add to that two different DAWs say the clip is 120 bpm. I don't know what else to say... :?

Re: MC8 forcing me to use wrong tempo

I dragged it into MC8 and Cakewalk. Both times it shows 120bpm.
