Loud static sounds on Ethereal Earth and The Gentleman

stillmakingmusic

I just bought Komplete Standard. Everything sounds so good,except Ethereal Earth and The Gentleman have loud static when I try to use them. You can hear the patches, but there is noisy static on these for some reason. Anyone else have this at all?

It's likely what you're hearing is caused by your buffer size being too small. Try adjusting that in your DAW and see if you can come to a setting where it doesn't happen. This is especially true if you're using a higher sample rate or larger bit depth. Typically a sample rate of 44.1 and a bit depth of 24bits is more than adequate. This happens on plugins that tend to have more complex and detailed samples.

I got ethereal earth and it sounds fine. As stupid as it sounds I'd suggest you try to reinstall/repair both in access. That mostly fixed issues for me when I had some. There is a tool by native instruments which deletes the plugins for you

I reinstalled Ethereal and Gentleman..still have static. Now Hybrid Keys is doing it, and Soul Sessions. The others are clear. The sound you woukd get with a bad cable. The others are clear so that's not it. I'm at a loss. Bums me out.

I've reinstalled the ones with crackling but it still does it. My CPU isn't being taxed. Is it because I'm using Cakewalk by Bandlab? I've been using Cakewalk since it first hit the scene. Hard to change. If I have to I will. This crackling is heartbreaking. Was so excited to get recording. Fm8 has no issues. Vintage Organs no crackling. I don't get it.

HELP!!!!

It seems to have helped. I need to maybe continue to tweak. It's a fine line between no static and latency. Thank you very much. I appreciate your wisdom.

Cheeses, being English a foreign language for me I thought at first that you considered this patch, Ethereal, a stupid sound.

How could that be ?

Since I recently used it and deeply loved it, I stayed reading twice and I now see it is your recommendation that turns out to be the thing that might be sound a bit stupid, even when it worked.

Same here.

There are so many ways to resolve any issues that might arise that in the end a trumpet turns one's own trumpet !
