BBC Orchestra Won't Mix Down To Audio

Post by ADM »

Just got my free copy of the BBC Discovery Orchestra plugin after waiting 2 weeks... sounds ok...but does anyone know why the audio track has no sound when I mix it down to an Audio track? :?

Edit:
ok... so I just went back into Mixcraft there and loaded the 64Bit version of the orchestra and it worked for bouncing to an Audio track... so it seems that the VST3 version won't bounce to an audio Track... strange :?

Edit:
I had kind of the same problem with the Union Synth Plugin... the VST3 version won't bounce to an Audio Track... in fact it crashes Mixcraft and corrupts the entire project and it won't open again... the 64Bit version mixes down to Audio though :?

Edit Again:
Right well... I decided to check on some of my other plugins and it's the same thing... VST3 won't bounce to audio but if there is a 64Bit version it works no problem... what's going on? :shock:

Hi,

You're using "Mix To New Audio Track?" Or are you mixing down to an audio file from the File menu? What sample rate are you using in Sound Device preferences?

Ha, the last thing I need is an iffy sounding, maybe okay sounding at best buggy third party plug-in to waste a lifetime away with. No thanks.

Hi Greg, yes I was right clicking on the midi track and clicking on 'Mix To New Audio Track'... My sample rate is 44100Hz, 32 Bits, Stereo.
and as I said ...it seems to only be the VST3 versions of any of the plugins... when I click on 'Mix To New Audio Track' it creates the track but with no sound on it... but if I load the 64Bit version of the same Virtual Instrument Plugin (if available) it works ok

:lol: I get ya... sometimes I just can't help myself... I see a nice new shinny plugin... and I'm like a kid in a candy shop... oh, oh...I gotta have it! :D

I really should know better - cuz that's when the problems start.

I think I need to go to 'Plugins Anonymous' - if it exists? :shock: :lol:
