Been using Sampletank, one instance and it covers both channels
4 and 8. Works just fine.

Started using A nice Acoustic Guitar for channel 8 with medium complexity in the notes.
It was very low level so kicked up DB level quite a bit.
Was over-driving, I thought. Reduced the extra DB down to .9 and levels are
Ok but low.

Don't think problem is with rendering, but maybe latency for busy parts for the
guitar. The sound is fantastic, until hitting busy parts, then it sounds
like it is overdriving. Almost like growling guitar sound.

Tried to setup forte for channel 8 and leave sampletank for channel 4.
Went to solo selected forte, went to melody to drop the channel 8 voice from sampletank.
Forte was there. Tried couple different things to get ST on solo and Forte on melody.
Didnt work.

I feel like the distortion/growling is a latency problem, not sure tho.

Actually two questions.

One how do I have two different VSTi's installed?

Does it sound like a latency problem ?

What's ole Frank doing wrong?

To have multiple synths, you need the 2012 version of Band-in-a-Box, otherwise use RealBand.

Have one syth setup as your default. Then, for other sythns, open the Mixer window, and then click the Plug-in button. You can choose a synth for each track from that window. (The mixer button is next to the Play button.)

I can't answer about the potential latency problem.

Jim,

I usually overlook the signatures also, but have most of my basic stuff there, including 2012 UltraPlusPak.
Lot of folks put this data there for rest of us to use when trying to help.

Maybe my "default" synth is not set correctly. Took wife to do bit of shopping
then big supper buffet at local casino. Ate too much like always, so all the
synapse's are'nt firing correctly. Will try this out tomorrow.

That's just how I do it.
Will let you know.

Thanks!

BTW, all this was accomplished thru the rendering process.

First of all let me answer this
Quote:

I did set default synt before working on the song.
My problem was self created.
Do not set your wanted Melody VSTi by using Click Default.
If you want VSTi Sampletank for Melody then you simple click
Plugin on top right and select ST.
Do same for Solo.
You now have two separate instances, not sure this is necessary based on answer two
below, but it does work. Might be able to simply set channel 4 for melody and 8 for
solo.

Second of all:
Quote:

Does it sound like a latency problem ?



No is was NOT a latency problem in this case.
Again caused my own problem, but learned from it.
Tried all levels down to nearly zero for the Acoustic Guitar
voice. Its was still garbled.
Solution....Uncheck Normalize box.
Normalize also brings up levels if they are low, in this
process garbling took place.
The busy part not just sounds nice, not garbled.

Jim you jogged my memory, and guided with your suggestions, Thank you!

Later
