Problems with Session Guitarist Strummed Acoustic

Dr. Sigs

When using Strummed Acoustic, it sounds fine and correct when recording or auditioning, but on playback it is completely staccato and choppy. This has gone on for a long time, I've never been able to have it work reliably. I'm currently at 24bit/96K but have tried other sample rates to no avail. Have upgraded, all plugins are current, using PT Ultimate 2024.6 (and it was problematic in earlier versions as well). Bouncing, Freezing, Committing…non of these have any influence. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

Unfortunately this is a known issue with these libraries and Pro Tools. We recommend to run these libraries at 48 Khz.

Working at 24/96 makes no sense as the source material (in the plugin library) is most likely delivered to us in 16/48 or 16/44 - plus 24/96 is very cpu intensive.

If you want any chance of getting rid of the choppies - you will need to consider dropping your bitrate/sample rate.

Can the Strummed Acoustic libraries (1 and 2) be used at 96kHz on Pro Tools without experiencing the staccato choppy playback? Is there any workaround? I am adding the libraries to existing sessions that are already at 96kHz. Has NI tried to resolve this problem?

I think Jeremy gave you all the info you need. Neither of these libraries have been updated recently.

And both are third party products anyway. NI has little to do with this.

Unfortunately it will not be addressed in the near future. Solution is to have a lower sample rate in your Pro Tools projects.
