extreme popping and crackling when playing back EZbass midi in the daw

[Darryl Brooks]

I am using Cubase 10.5 pro and Focusrite Scarlett 18i20....

I am using Cubase 10.5 pro and Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. I am running a pc with quad core Intel Core i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz with 12 GB of ram. I have been running EZkeys (sometimes multiple instances), EZdrummer 2, and multiple instances of EZmix along with other plug ins and VSTs. No problems with pops and crackles. I run EZbass alone with a midi part playing in the track window and it barely plays while popping and crackling along. I am using the ASIO from focusrite with EZbass and everything is set to default. Any ideas as to the problems?

EZbass version: 1.0.2
Operating system: Windows 10

Hi,

so it works as expected when working with the Audio Tracker but placing the tracked MIDI on either the EZbass Song Track or dragging it to your DAW and switching to the ‘Bass’ page, playing back said MIDI, induces clicks and pops? And all MIDI in your Grooves library?

The Default Library location would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Toontrack\ on PC.

I was thinking that you could try moving the library location as described in this FAQ:

What other programs or processes are running at the same time?

BR,
John

Only studio one.

3 guitar tracks, two midi keys but printed to audio.
And lastly addictive drums 2.

I got tired of the problem so I did a clean install of windows I am still downloading plugins and registering them and activating so I will get back here when I get the chance to try it again.

Hate reinstalling windows 🤮
