Finale drums have a really wide dynamic range depending on Velocity. Some default instruments are way too quiet – drum kits in particular – and some are too loud, particularly some plucked strings (such as Ukelele and Mandolin), and solo (vs “section”) woodwind player samples.Ī good solution for drums is to assign your desired dynamic in the score, so it shows up in the part correctly – but then, override it for Finale playback with the Midi Tool. Some instruments are out of balance, even with the same dynamic marking in score When you find yourself adding unusual dynamic markings (“pppp” when everybody else is “mf”) in an attempt to balance the instruments in a score, it’s time to revisit your “starting” balance.

Let’s take a look at how to address common problems you may encounter, and create the best possible mix in Finale. For those working on larger scores in pursuit of the best possible quality, however, the defaults might not work well.

For more information on setup for these libraries, see this article on the Scoring Notes blog: “ Getting Started in Finale with Garritan’s Premium Libraries ”). Midi/Audio>Play Finale Through Audio Units should be selected in order to activate Garritan Instruments for Finale (or Garritan’s premium libraries. For the majority of users, the default settings are adequate. But something about the TB switch is causing the issues.Finale’s audio output has the potential to generate great audio and wonderful-sounding scores for consumers and demos. The strange part is when I had the FW Satellite in place of the TB Satellite, I didn't have these issues running with all 3 Satellite, PCIE, and Apollo.

But I can't control where the PCIE card shows up in the order. I heard about the power up issues with the satellite and Apollo and read that it's best to have the Satellite show up after the Apollo in the System Info pane. Sucks trying to do a mix with 8 less cores tho. I took the Satellite out of the equation and DSP maxed out with no issues so far. This is actually something I'm trying right now. Some have experienced problems with UA setups containing variations of products because of the power up order of the devices, so that's something else to look into. If you can successfully stress the system in each of those configurations try testing them in the various combinations of 2 to see if anything shows. Test your system with just the Satellite. Test your system with just the PCIe card. (SB: I had my 5,1 with Thunder Ridge running this same UAD setup and still had the same issues prior to purchasing the 7,1).ĭisassemble your system to try and pinpoint the culprit.
#DSP QUATTRO PLUGINS PROBLEM PRO#
So the question I actually have is what could possibly be the process running on MacOS associated with Pro Tools that requires being reset before UAD plugins will work again? I'm looking for a process that I can kill in Activity Monitor instead of repeatedly rebooting my system. So this leads me to now believe that Pro Tools is the actual root of the problem. But recently I found out that when this problem happens, my other audio applications (Console, Luna, Akai MPC) work perfectly fine with UAD plugins without rebooting the computer while along side them, the plugins will not run again in Pro Tools until a reboot is done. In order to fix this, I have to reboot the entire computer every time this happens.įor months I thought this was a UAD hardware defect. The music plays but the UAD plugins are not processing the audio and none of the meters on any of the UAD plugins works and delay compensation of the audio is out of alignment. When I reopen Pro Tools after power cycling the UAD hardware, the session and all plugins will load, but none of the UAD plugins actually work in the session. When it happens, Pro Tools completely freezes. The errors usually come randomly during playback or when duplicating/loading a UAD plugin. The problem is when I'm running high DSP loads (say above 50-60%), I start getting -38 errors and Pro Tools freezes with spinning beach ball. I've done all the usual troubleshooting replaced TB3 cables, reset UAD hardware, reinstall all software, trash Pro Tools prefs, etc. Now I've been having nothing but instability with using UAD plugins in Pro Tools. So I recently converted my UAD setup from FW on a 5,1 to TB3 on a 7,1.
