I’m experiencing a problem that I’m sure is some sort of user error.
When I download HD files from the performer’s machine, the files get placed on the wrong track, underneath an existing audio file. It’s always the same track.
What am I doing wrong?
HD files are placed in a dedicated folder track, sorted by their channel.
Ah ha! There’s where I’ve been going wrong. I’ve been pulling them out of the folder before recording. I knew it had to have something to do with my fiddling too much.
Thanks!
I’m still having the same problem. It may be that the project file is corrupted in some way in terms of VST Connect, due to a Cubase crash I had early on in the project. or I’ve set up something really wrong.
Every time I download the HD files, they are placed under the existing audio of a track - the same track every time. If I’m downloading 3 HD files, they are stacked under each other under that track.
Here’s a screenshot of the Manager interface. You’ll see the third track down called “Master Djembe.” It’s grey, but I don’t know what that means. I had a Cubase crash after attempting to download that HD file. I found the file in the Audio folder of the project, so deleted the proxy file and dragged and dropped the HD file in the track. In the project, that track, labelled “Master Djembe is the one that all the new HD files get stacked on.
I also don’t know what ‘offline’ means on several of the tracks, because the audio files exist on my computer.
And although a VST Connect folder track is created, no downloaded files ever appear there.
VST Live organizes received files in groups by their channel.
This is the state of the connected Performer (if any). If not present, either a different project or deleted or otherwise tangled with.
Any manual operation on files (or plugins, as said above) is calling for trouble.
It also appears that you may not know that Performer can use the “Export for Local HD” function to create a folder and send to Studio for use with “Get Local HD” files there. Of course, all performer files are connected to the project that was used to record on the host (Cubase/Nuendo) side, this is why it is recommended to use that function if Get HD doesn’t work as expected, because it consolidates all performer recordings belonging to that particular project into one folder.
Also note that files recorded on the Performer machine have a broadcast chunk which contains their original recording position (in project time, when recorded), this allows you to drag them into the Cubase workspace at the right position should everything else fail.
Thanks for the information.
Is there any way to solve the problem that I’m having?
