Help! Battery, doing popping and crackly tings!!

[miss bass]

Basically, i have all me smaples put in, in a sequence in cubase sx2, but it pops between samples. If one is too close to the other etc its clicks and pops, but play the samples on their own and they sound beauty.

Is it latency settings?? Or is it because its not the real deal?? HELP!!!!

If all fails might have to do fruity or try sample tank maybe

[messyfuture]

what sound card are you using?

cause you could try changing drivers, not sure how to do this in sx but i'm sure someone can help,

not much help really :cry:

[g]

it sounds like a latency or battery prefs issue. and yeah, make sure your drivers are up to date. failing that, try the battery forum in the NI forums. usually good quick info.

NI ?

Yeh well its just a £70 creative one, nothing spectacular, il have a look at the settings

yeah i have odd problems with bettery somtimes too.. :cry: but i still love it to bits..

these clicks are they just on the sounds coming from battery or are they on the whole mix?

[miss bass]

just battery my friend

:cry:
:cry:
:cry:

Think i should check my battery and soundcard settings, and Miro pointed out about buffering etc

Native Instruments

and when i say latency it's the same as the buffering issue. kinda like the other side of the coin.

Might b something about a sample retriggering or jumping 2 another sample b4 the one still playing having not reached 0 volume.. meaning there is jump between different levels, which generally results in cracks and pops....

basically get a sample 2 play in polyphonic mode (at leas 2-4 samples)... DON'T use a sort monophonic (or Cut itself mode), or what ever it's called on the Battery language, which the normal mode used 4 drums 2 avoid phasing.

2 improve yer soundcards latency go here and download the asio 4 all driver... should work like a charm...

get a ESI (Ego Systems) Juli@ soundcard they're unbelievably good and cheap!!!

a friend of mine had this prob aswell..he's using audigy soundcard ...if i remember correctly these clicks and pops were appearing only on low freq sounds...i tried to fix this by putting these sounds on different outs(on battery)...the funny thing is it worked on some of them but not all of them...
i tried NI forums but didn't find topic for this...

I have this problem once and awhile to with Battery, only with Kick drums though. This asio 4 all driver, can it be used with a M-Audio delta 1010 LT or just soundcards that dont come with a patch program to modify its latency ie soundblaster?

[DJZeMigL]

Nã m8.. it is mainly for low range soundcards but I guess there is no harm in trying!

Again with battery... U have 2 b very very careful with the length of notes and sounds otherwise they get cut and sound clicky/ poppy....

Use samples in a one-shot sample play type, make sure u have each pad enabled 2 play 3-4 notes simultaneasly (polyphonic)... Try these and let me know if probs persist!

Its so annoying i just want to make beats and theres always something that ends up not working.

In regards to battery doing it on lower sounds like kicks this is true, i have one really bassey kick and that crackles like bloody fried chips or something! lol

Anyway, so do you think i need a new sound card? would that definately stop it?

Stressed

[miss bass]

The samples im using btw are clean too, so its not like theyre crackly anyway, and the sounds im using are short, so reckon it could be the silly sound card

[go|plastic]

Cubase is causing your problems... does the same thing to me too... Battery sounds just fine in standalone!

[go|plastic]

By the way, I downgraded to Cubase SX version 1.0.5.61 and the pops and glitches are gone now.

[miss bass]

yeh you know what, i have just upgraded to cubase sx 2!! And even that is playing up a bit

Im downgrading the bastardo

[eyes without a face]

if its troubling u this much u shud try and find other ways to achieve ur aims

at least then u can carry on doing music whilst trying to fix the problem!

[The Divide]

Its a long shot but you could try this...

On the top drop down in SX theres a section called devices..

Go devices > plug in information

Find battery in the list and tick the box "old host behavior" or Obh

If that doesnt work untick it and ignor all that :lol:
