Yes, version 3.1.3 is the one loading in Reaper. As far as “close audio device”….I’ve changed NO settings…I wouldn’t think that my settings should not be an issue? But here are my related audio devise options.

Root “close audio device when stopped and application is inactive” …checked

Sub “close audio device when inactive and tracks are record armed”…unchecked

Sub “close audio device when inactive and rewire devices are open”…unchecked

Root “close audio device when stopped and active(less responsive)” …unchecked

When open in FX browser…and I stop playing…I get the “audio engine inactive check your audio device” warning. It goes away when I hit play.

If I “uninstall via control panel” and then reinstall…will anything get messed up? I’m on SUPER slow DSL…so, the less I download the better. I’ve got the SD3 Hard Drive as well…because of the DSL.

Ok…so, the first thing I did was to reinstall my ASIO drivers, then I updated Reaper and SD3…still no impact. So, I went ahead and removed my ASIO drivers…rebooted and then reinstalled them. Still having same issue.

I did the update….no change. Desktop (not laptop) system…USB = mouse, keyboard, Akai MPK mini (was on, but not being used). Stand-alone mode seems fine.

Unless an update came out in the last month…I should be up to date. I’m running windows 7 on my recording computer. It’s an older 8 core…16 gigs of ram. But, it’s worked flawlessly for months now…and this out of nowhere. The only thing that I can think of…is that I have a lot going on in the last session…maybe jumping around too quickly did something?

When I’m in the FX browser…it will play and then when I stop…the “audio engine inactive…check your audio device” will appear. My ASIO is working just fine with everything else.

Ok…that DID work! I had to REALLY zoom in. I hope this is something that Toontrack will address…not a huge problem, but it definitely slows workflow;)

Thank you for the tip!

[WarBeer]

Yes, I was referring to the grid lines showing the resolution you have selected. I’m glad to here it’s in the works!

Question…how would I quantize just a selection of notes? (say there a new passage of 8 notes and I want to quantize them to a specific resolution…while NOT effecting my other notes)

[WarBeer]

Let me make sure I completely understand that section of the manual. (because I had read it) It seems to imply that regardless of the grid (that calibrates its division based on your zoom level) you can have you notes quantized to any of the listed increments?

#1 – Does that only effect the notes you have selected or all notes….because that suggest hitting the “quantized” button.

#2 – The midi editor in my DAW (Reaper) will calibrate the grid based on what you select. What I like about this is that it allows you to compose/write…another words, you can “see” how things will line up, which helps you with counting and placement. Clearly, I could go back and forth between my DAW’s midi editor and SD3’s…but I really like SD3’s for everything else…+ that’s a little less than the easiest work flow;)

So, SD3 doesn’t do what I’m talking about…correct?

And if not, that would be a GREAT feature to add IMHO.

Never mind, I found it! Wow…that’s REALLY cool!!!! (yeah, I SUPER confused myself earlier…lol;)

[WarBeer]

Oh shoot…that’s right! …lol…I thought it was in EZD2 as well, but clearly not. Well, I guess I can stop looking for that feature;)

Thank you for the heads up!

[WarBeer]

In EZD2, (and EZkeys for that matter)…you can highlight a section and activate the “use browser midi” and it will allow you to just click on different midi’s and hear them in place of your current file. (without dragging/copying)

[WarBeer]

It was doing it no matter what sound I use…grand, upright, Rhodes, wurl…no effects were running in my DAW. It started as a midi track…but even it didn’t do that. Not until I started to mess with it…then, something happened…lol. I just hacked a couple seconds on a new DAW track and then edited it. No problem then.

[WarBeer]

SWEET! I’ll give it a try. Thank you VERY much:)

[WarBeer]

I’m not having a problem locating things…it’s just that I’m converting a lot of projects previously done with EZD2 over to SD3. And I use the Toontrack (EZD2) song-part color format in my projects as a section guide. I’ve been dragging things from EZ2 in SD3. Labeling then becomes tedious. Is there an easier way I could do this?

Hi,

right-click the groove on the SD3 Song Track and use the ‘Search with Tap2Find’ feature. The top result should be the MIDI file you’re looking for.

So SD3 won’t recognize the midi as part of it’s library? I’m guessing that when you drag it in…it just considers it random midi?
