Omnisphere playing extra audio on first note in Logic – Page 2 – Instruments Forum

eem wrote:I have run into this in logic 8 as well. In fact, it’s kind of a big issue even when rendering a mixdown. I have found like Bruce that if I have any vi’s, to make sure there is a small gap at the start before any midi notes are played, then to play that gap quickly to clear the sounds before rendering. Otherwise you get random sounds at the beginning of your tracks. A little annoying and it doesn’t happen in Ableton Live.

Yeah. Just to make sure, I want to emphasize that we are talking about two slightly different things here: many softsynts play their leftover audio as soon as you start Logic, regardless of if there are any actual notes on the track. This is a little irritating but manageable – just activate solo, select nothing, and let Logic play a while to make sure you don’t get any extra stuff in the beginning of the bounce.

Omnisphere on the other hand acts differently from any other softsynth I have used: it doesn’t start emptying it’s leftover buffer until it runs into the first note in the song, at which point it’s already too late – your bounce is ruined. This seems to happen with patches that use Omni’s internal FX, and is most noticeable with reverbs and delays.
