Strange Behavior with Spitfire BBCSO

Post by Winslow Schiller »

Here's a strange one:

I'm exploring the wonderfully affordable Spitfire BBCSO and noticed that MIDI notes in DP 11.2 are immediately truncated (basically, a click) if they are at or before 1|1|089. If I nudge the note to 1|1|090, it plays normally. If the track is record enabled, it plays normally (i.e. anywhere before 090). So basically, BBCSO instruments will not play on the 1|1|000 downbeat (or up to 089). Other plug ins play fine. I wonder what's going on? - Winslow

I never start the music at 1/1/000. Two bars of count in, Bar 3 starts the piece for me.

I tried setting start point to Bar -1, but this caused issues with exports to other DAWs, so I abandoned in my template. You might experiment to see how BBCSO is impacted, if at all. Set start in Chunks Window.

Definitely a good practice (starting at 3). That being said, I'm flummoxed why this plug in (and no others) responds differently at the level of a single tick. - Winslow
