Does anybody know how to use 4 or 5 virtual instrument plugins without creating a loud white noise and after opening BIAB does not make any sounds.
I am using a MIDI style and I wanted to improve the String1 and String2 sounds with sounds from Cinematic Studio Strings (via KONTAKT 6) and a beautiful string patch from Ominisphere for String2. I also had added a Piano sound from the plugin Keyscape. I also had a plugin for improved piano on the THRU track.
My Windows 10 64-bit computer has 96GB of RAM and 2 processors and about 32 threads (16 threads per CPU).
I am using a Focusrite Clarett 8Pre-USB and am using the Focusrite ASIO in BIAB. I have BIAB Audiophile Edition for 2021
Increasing your ASIO buffer size can help with this. Can you go to Options > Preferences > Audio, then click the Audio Drivers button below where it says ASIO followed by ASIO Driver's Control Panel? See if your sound card has an option to control buffer size, and if so try increasing it.
Peter, perhaps I'm not understanding what you're trying to do but it sounds like you want to use 3 or more VSTi synths on various tracks in BIAB at the same time. Is this right?
As far as I know, BIAB can only handle one VSTi at a time. Back in 2017, a former user, by the name of Paul Warren, created a bit of software that would allow BIAB to use more than one VSTi at the same time. It could even allow the use of a combination of VSTI's and multiple hard synths all at the same time on a track by track basis. Unfortunately, it was 32 bit only and Paul does not have the required software to convert this to 64 bit.
I had very good success in using his MidiRedirector but like I said it was 32 bit only and now I'm using the 64 bit version of BIAB these days.
If you would like to give his 32 bit application a try, you can download it for free here:
Thank you for your efforts to help me. I have increased my buffer size from 128 to 256. I will see if this fixes the problem. I hope latency will not become an issue.
Thanks for that explanation Simon. I didn't realize this change.
One thing that the Midi Redirector did allow me to do was to use multiple hard synths at the same time. I don't think that BIAB can do this yet....or can it? Back to the lab!
