Hi As Always there are a range of issues that can cause notes to not be played which is why I put a “fence” around the topic where the only issue is actually with re-triggering of the note with the likes of the more complex guitar expression emulations.
What you are experiencing, from my experience sounds like it is something completely different to this topic sadly. I will give you some stuff to think about, hopefully.
Diagnosing faults and issues can be quite complex at times.
A lot of issues stem from the computing platform the minimum specifications for any software platform always have too much “hope” that is a big issue in the recording industry generally with suppliers of hardware and especially software. I am a grumpy old engineer these days and long forgotten as a target demographic for utilising these tools. I waste a lot of time because things have some jazzy name assigned to a preset instead of just saying Stratocaster emulator for example of an exception.
If you are looking for a production tool then you need to have a computer with plenty of ram I have found Most software suites don’t utilise 64GB so the machines with 32GB are adequate and a fast hard drive and the fastest SSD drive you can get and beefy processors are a must. If your machine is less than this it will have problems regardless of anything these guys try to tell you. One computer really limits how much you can do. A friend has a server room full in his studio which is as big as my studio area in my home studio and he still has many issues.
Those glossy pictures that you see with the bearded and tattooed tough looking millennials (they look like iron on water tattoos on a snow flake tough) using a Cubase studio and a single laptop - don’t believe it.
That studio they are using uses multiple computers (and software licenses) that laptop is probably only handling an instance of HALion6 and that suite in total they are all smiling using it is worth many many may hundred’s of thousands of dollars especially when you consider the acoustic treatment of the room. I have a huge investment in this studio here I have for instance and it is hybrid (i.e. I use an English designed 40 channel analog mixer with a DAW recording suite / DAW I am always shelling out for more software. I buck the trend and only upgrade hardware when it is basically burnt out.
There are plenty of synth emulations (programs in HALion6 speak) that HALion6 has for utilisation that you need to be running only one of these and nothing else on your computer and at no more than 41.4 kHz and 16 bit sample rates and CPU embrace happens on even my top range computer I have here for my studio suite and it is a 20,000 AUD Mac Pro last of breed intel silicone with all the options… ! (That hope in specifications ) I have found the software simply won’t operate at 192/24 I push it to 96k/24 and it has problems frequently.
This then brings us to the next issue in configuration and selection of the software “programs” you are utilising on your production machine.
I find CPU utilisation limits daily on my beast of a machine, so a lot of time has to be invested into any software you are using so you can produce content of the quality you are looking for in the style and with the number of instruments you are hoping to utilise in a single take. Yeah I get that folks are time poor but this is what we have to do to get the best out of these tools we buy. Steinberg Cubase Pro and the allied VST’s and there other products are some of the better ones you can find actually despite this balanced view I am presenting and to re-iterate these are indeed full of hope in the specifications (if you can find detailed and fully descriptive technical specifications these days it is all about colours and not substance or quality).
Good luck with your issues
I would look at more multi session recording and do single instrument takes and multiple audio track stems as this is what I do so a free production tip for you and another is to get a sound recording engineering book heaps of freebie pdf’s with a quick google search.
I am old enough to have done this sound stuff with using 2 inch tape decks for recording and splicing tape stems by hand so this new stuff just takes a lot of your time up but no more cut fingers
