Hope you all had a Great New Year!!!

VOLiTiAN, the issue was solved from some error on my half. I actually hadn’t chosen my Asio Device in toontrack solo! lol. Mistakes happen….

I’ve tried closing all programs running in the background of Windows, and still get the same result. Sometimes it can go with no crack for afew mins, and then it’ll appear.

I’m running my Presonus FireStudio at Sample Rate 44.1KHz and tested with Buffer Size set to 64/128 or 256.

I’m quite new to all this, so trying to learn as I go…. Even though I’ve got ToonTrack solo working with my E-Drums, I’m still at loss of how I can get toontrack as a plugin on StudioOne2. I need help with this too! 🙁

[spiro85]

heh! fair enough.

So any idea what could possibly be cuasing the crack/pop noises?

[spiro85]

what part?

[spiro85]

Ok… so after hours of trial and error… I found out what was causing the latency, and finally fixed it!!!! lol…

Although… NOW… I seem to have another problem. lol.

How come sometimes when playing… it could sound perfectly normal… then all of a sudden you start hearing cracks and pops?

I’ve got 6GB of ram, so that should be enough to run the samples perfect right?

Each time I load a ‘preset’ or change around some of the drum kit on ToonTrack, sometimes the samples come out all crackly.

I do Clear the memory and then Load again, and sometimes it works, and then it’ll happen again. Even trying 16-bit, it occurs sometimes.
I have been lucky, and didn’t get a crackle for about 15 mins one time… which sounded and worked perfect.

Is there anything I can change for this not to occur?

Again, could it perhaps be my onboard firewire ? would it be suitable better to purchase a good firewire PCI card?

[spiro85]

No other plugins… Just running S2.0 in Toontrack Solo on its own. I dont even have other programs opened etc.

Its a smal small delay – but you can notice, and it also puts you off beat when trying to play the E-drums. ( may take a video to show you guys how much of a delay there is)

This roland kit, doesnt allow me to turn Local=Off??

Also, I should mention my PC Specs;

Core 2 Quad 2.83GHz
6GB Ram
64-bit OS

[spiro85]

My PC has an onboard Firewire, could this also be an issue with the latency?

I’m willing to buy a PCI Firewire card if need be, but how can I be sure I will get better results.

[spiro85]

I see.

The firewire on my system seems to be working? I don’t get drop outs or anything so far….

Although, I did try setting the buffer on my presonus to 64/128, and also the latency on ToonTrack Solo 64/128 and I still get a delay when hitting the E-drums.

Is there something else I need to do?

My E-drums are the Roland HD-1.

[spiro85]

Ok…
So, I updated Superior Drummer 2 to 2.2.3 and downlaoded the latest version of ToonTrack solo.

Everything seems to be working now and I managed to get my E-Drums to work with Superior Drummer 2.

There is however a delay when I play the E-Drums. It’s probably a few miliseconds before it responds on the program.

Is this normal? or is there a way to fix this problem?

I’ve seen some youtube videos of people using their E-Drums with Superior Drummer 2, and there doesn’t seem to be a delay at all when playing.

My equipment I use is;

Presonus FireStudio Project (also used to connect midi- Firewire interface
Roland V-Drums
Windows 7 OS System

[spiro85]

I have just upgraded to Superior Drummer 2, and also installed Toontrack solo.

When I load toontrack solo, I’m choosing my audio device as well as my midi device unit – E-Drums.
I’m not getting any response?. When I try controlf rom the E-drums, nothing gets through.

Help?
