Hi all
I posted this over at the VSL forum and have had no response either there or from VSL support as yet so thought I'd try here.
I recently purchased Synchron Percussion I Drums and the Bass drum has a strange ringing that I can only describe as similar to that high pitched sound you get when you lower the bit rate. I thought it was restricted to the Bass drum but it is actually audible in ALL of my Synchron library instruments, it's just more noticeable with low frequencies (with high frequency sounds the ringing sound is masked).
I've attached a WAV file to illustrate. This sound is NOT present in any of my Vienna Instruments libraries or Kontakt libraries
I then discovered that it looks like it's due to a sample rate issue with the Synchron player working at 48kHz, because working in Cubase at 44.1kHz fixes the problem. However, I have to work and deliver at 48kHz for film so this isn't a solution for me.
I've tried hosting the Synchron player in Cubase directly or within VEP and the ringing is present if the sample rate in cubase us set to 48kHz but not at 44.1kHz. Likewise, when using the Synchron player in stand-alone mode (independent of Cubase entirely) the same is true - If I go into preferences and set the sample rate to 48kHz (and my RME interface Hammerfall DSP Settings changes the sample rate to reflect this as you'd expect) the ringing is present. Switching back to 44.1kHz in the standalone application (with my RME interface Settings mirroring this as normal) and the ringing is gone
Like I said above, I don't have this behavior in the Vienna Instruments plugin or Kontakt so this is clearly a Synchron player issue.
Help!
Brett
