Strangest Problem Ever?

[Phill]

This might be really easy to solve, but it's quite peculiar in itself.

I have a MIDI solo clarinet line. The patch is the exp-leg clarinet patch from EWQLSO, set to the portamento script. It sounds surprisingly extraordinary. When I export it, however, the clarinet line becomes very stagnant and a lot less dark. I think, and I could be completely wrong, the clarinet patch is switching from the portamento script in PLAY to the legato script in PLAY.

Even when I freeze the track, the same problem occurs.

Any advice?

Did you try real time export?

[Phill]

Yes.

I've had similar problems with the choirs and a French Horn: during tempo changes the sound stutters, changes with audible steps, or the notes come very late. My suspicion is these problems are tied to the way Play handles tempo information internally, because it doesn't happen in an external host (where the tempo information is absent).

So I recommend you to download Bidule from Plogue (http://www.plogue.com/products/bidule/; it's free to try), set up one instance of Play with the clarinet. Then send the MIDI to Plogue and capture the output, and see what happens there. You can only capture in real time, of course, but if that sounds the way you want, you have a good case for a bug report.

instead of realtime export you can do a print, which is in all sense of the word a TRUE realtime export since its recording live. route the instrument to a bus, create an audio track and set the audio tracks input to the bus and hit record. done.

Do you know how to do this in Cubase? I bus route in ProTools, but Cubase is different.

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks!

Though, this could be a bug worthy of fixing in the Exp-leg solo clarinet patch. Another problem within the same patch is if there are too many overlapping voices on Portamento of the same patch, the patch will change! The first note played will have a disrupting unpleasant attack.
