In the midst of the Black Friday Sales I decided to go for East Wests Hollywood Brass Diamond. It's a pretty good sounding libary but reaaaally annyoing regarding everything else. The problem that I'm dealing with right now makes music making borderline impossible.
If usally just load one instance of play, since it's so heavy on CPU and whatnot and I usally already know what I wanna hear, so I render single tracks and then meld the whole brass section together. Despite this efforts to keep the performance as steady as possible, I get a lot of terrible artifacts when rendering, take a listen: https://instaud.io/1v9M
It's relativly quit, but it still bugs me. Especially since I have trouble locating the source of the problem. At first I thought it was the CPU; I had trouble with dropouts while rendering in Reaper full-speed offline, as fast as possible and my CPU was run to 100%. Then I changed the rendering mode to 1xOffline, which made the cpu only go to 30% and the dropouts were gone too. I don't get the same problem with Kontakt. I also don't get these noises, while playing it via the PLAY vst in Reaper.
Diskload and Ram look also pretty okay while rendering and nothing out of the ordinary happens. Still, these shitty noises. I tried ajdusting the buffer, I tried changing the driver, I tried all the four reaper rending modes. Nothing really changed that much. Does anyone have any clues on what could be up? I'm thinking of trying it out with a different DAW, and I heard having the samples of EA Brass on a different harddrive then I'm rendering to might help. I will give this a try when I got one handy.
Does anyone have different tips for that? I would be very thankful.
