Battery track going silent

confield

Afternoon. Bit of a head scratcher… I finished a track today but when I listened back the drums on group one had gone muffled and almost silent. I was using Portal granular effects but the drums where running out of battery. Is there something in the software that stops you using VST effects with battery drums?? I’ve never had this issue before and it’s the first time I’ve used battery.

Hi mate i seem to have sorted it. I just rescanned everything and it seems to be working. I just use the Maschine software as my DAW. Thanks for the reply

Nothing in Battery would prevent you from using VST effects on the output of Battery… not quite sure what would be causing the issue. If you remove (Or bypass) the effects and export, is the issue still there?

Hi. Yeah if I turn the fx off and import it’s fine. I’ve never had this before just started yesterday. Also when I reload the track it’s not saving the fx sound but saving the macro patterns but when I change the preset on the fx it comes back… really doing my head in 😂

@confield This only happens with Battery 4 ? From the description it looks more like the issue is coming from the Portal effect. Can you reproduce the issue without the effect? What DAW are you using?

@confield Glad to hear it works now!

PS. Is your user name related to this?
