Audio artifacts with Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra in Komplete Kontrol

System

This discussion was created from comments split from: East West OPUS KOMPLETE NKS.

Hello, I don't know if I am at the right place but I have the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, it plays well in opus but when I use it in Komplet Kontrol to benefit the NKS, it creates stange sound artifacts (some kind of weird pseudo echoes) that stays even in the exports. I had a really hard time finding the problem in the first place but I after many experiments, I figured out that it was the combo "Opus IN komplet Kontrol" that created those weird sounds. Anyone sharing the same issue ? (I have saved a MP3 showing the artefacts).

@Gilbo I created this thread from the one where you posted, it will be easier to handle this way. Please post the soundfile, you can zip it and attach it to your comment. Please also include more details, like your operating system, your DAW, etc... Can you reproduce the issue when using Kontakt instead of Komplete Kontrol ?

Gilbo

Hello, and thanks a lot for answering. Here is a link to the soundfile, artefacts are from 0,38' to 1', you don't need to listen the rest (wich is made with other intruments, not from OPUS, and works well) : Mixdown(2)artefact.mp3

I didn't cut or modify the file (only the title) so you can maybe see some infos from it.

The sound from the Wagner tuba and the other brasses (from Eastwest Fantasy Orchestra OPUS played in Komplet Kontrol) "echoes" in a dirty way (I let some silences so it can be heard very well). When I removed Komplet Kontrol and replaced those intruments with only OPUS, the artefacts disappear.

I am on Windows 11, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 4,10GHz, 32Go RAM, 64 bits.

My daw is Studio one 6 pro and have a Presonnus Audiobox 96.

I cannot reproduce the problem in Kontakt because Opus doesn't play in Kontakt, I can only open it in Komplet Kontrol as a third party VST. I like to use it in Komplet Kontrol because it is NKS and I can see the keyswitches on my Keyboard (Komplet Kontrol MK2 S49)

If you have more questions I can answer it. Thanks a lot.

@Gilbo Yes of course, Opus is it's own plug-in...I forgot that part! I'll try to get a license to reproduce the issue. So it's only happening in Komplete Kontrol. Is it happening all the time, on playback and export or only on export? What is the sample frequency of your project and what is the sample frequency of the export?

Gilbo

Hello again,

It's not happening all the time and not always in the same ways (sometimes it's very light and sometimes really audible. Most of the time, I eared that problem on the Wagner tuba, but it seems it happens frequently when all the intruments play toogether. When soloing the intruments, it's less obvious and less frequent.) It happens on playback and export. Sometimes, even when I press "stop" the strange echoes continues for a few seconds. My project frequency is 44,1 kHz, and so is the export.

@Gilbo Still trying to get a license for the product, also contacted the NKS and Komplete Kontrol teams for advice and waithing for their feedback.

Gilbo

Thanks a lot, it's very kind from you. If it's too difficult to obtain a license, or if that problem can't be solved for now, it's ok, don't lose too much time on it. I can somehow manage it (I play in komplet kontrol the intruments for the NKS and then in the daw I replace the komplet-Opus track with just the Opus track). But I think it's good to have the info about this little bug for maybe some next update (of komplet or Opus, don't know where it comes from). Maybe it's just my config : today, I'm replacing my audiobox 96 for a Scarlett, I'll see if it solves the issue (I have some little other echoes problems with other plugins, so I'll see soon if it's my audio interface...).
