Eastwest with Mixcraft

[jscrick]

I'm using the EW Pianos Gold Yamaha package for a song but when I mix down to an audio file it doesn't play properly. Like, the notes aren't sustained anymore (it's just like a quick press if you get me) and it sounds nowhere near as good as it does when I straight play it in Mixcraft. Any ideas?

How are you mixing down?

I'm not familiar with EastWest, but it sounds like some effects are not coming through to mixdown.

Is this piano a midi track? If so try to Mix Track To New Audio File. It will imprint the midi track to a new audio track with all the effects and automation from the EastWest instrument. Check out page 48 and 49 of the manual.

Also if you are mixing down to a stem there are a couple of check boxes about ignoring effects and automation on it.

Hi,
I've done this with EW Pianos gold. I set up the track with the EW piano vst. I record the midi. I then converted to audio, as per the Mixcraft manual. I also did this with the EW orchestra sounds. The only problem I had was on some instruments it would leave out a note, as if i did not play one. I just played that note on another track. I never had that problem with the piano sounds.
If the EW instrument is loaded into the track, it should convert to audio. What EW settings you have, like reverb, will be in the converted audio. Mixcraft will make a new audio track for the converted audio. I did not have to make any changes to the sample rate.

Hope this helps.

Hi again,
I have also recorded the audio at the same time as recording the midi data.
I have also made changes to the midi data to set the timing with the metronome timing better, then converted to audio without issues.
