Hello, Im having a problem with MIDI drums on my Logic Pro (trial for now). When I put MIDI drums (BFD player) and play whole project, sometimes MIDI misses the note. For example I have a long line of snare playing an increasing but almost every time there is some note that is missing in my ears, but MIDI note is there in the map. Usually when kick drum hits. Can you please help me, what am I doing wrong? Thank you.
I also have the same issue, it’s very frustrating because you have to listen back to every track you bounce as you can’t trust that what was in the midi got actually rendered, also i’m not only experiencing missing notes… but delayed notes being printed… i created a new ableton live set with only bfd player on it and i still have the issue (10 instances in total for each drum piece, maybe that’s the issue)
I’ve read in another thread here that increasing the buffer in settings (not your CoreAudio/ASIO/whatever) could help. Worked for me for randomly choked cymbals.
I have solved it for now by moving the libraries to my internal ssd, it was on an external one (samsung t7). i guess i will need to try to move to thunderbolt. By precaution i got rid of all instances of bfd and printed each piece one by one, i did not have time to push it further, but what i can say is that even with the samples in my internal ssd (m1 macbook air) when i got back to the previous project which had more plugins i still lost some hits. In my case making the buffer settings actually is worst because then ableton will shift to the efficency cores and make things even worse, i try to stay equal or lower than 256, which with a quantum 2626 i have no issues with latency.
What do you mean when you say in the settings and not the core audio etc etc, is it something i should worry about on mac? I usually change the buffer size inside of ableton.
I mean BFD sample engine’s settings, as shown on the screenshot:
I don’t have a Mac around (I’m on Linux), but my bandmate who’s on Mac had this exact problem and couldn’t solve it, pretty much because his machine is pretty old and only has 16 GiB of RAM. Either way, that’s kinda ridiculous, other drum samplers don’t do that when constrained to a more sane value like 8 GiB.
