Hey Guys,
Does anyone know why Spitfire Audio’s BBCSO keeps resetting the level to zero each time i stop playback?
I’m using the dynamic mapping, so lets say I input “Forte” for an instrument. the level in the image above raises the level to play “Forte”, but when i stop playback it goes back to zero and it’s really frustrating to edit because you can barely hear the instruments…
Any Idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks, Nicolas.
Do you have any automation turned on?
Hi @mkok thanks for the reply.
No all automations inside and outside the Key Editor are removed. Only the dynamics that I wrote in the Expression Map Articulation…
Is your recording missing the initial articulation that you’ll need to copy and add at the start maybe?
(see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnHzQYXhVDw 1:22)
Same issue here with Albion V. The snapshots below show what happens when the project is stopped (image 1), when I press the space bar (image 2) and when I press the space bar again (image 3). Note that the track has constant automation data in both Dynamics and Expression lanes, and follows them while playing, but resets to 0 when stopped.
Could it be that the MIDI keyboard you are using has the expression control on 0?
Thanks for the reply @rcjp but no that doesn’t apply here because I’m not using key switches I’m using Articulations in the Expression Maps.
Yeah but shouldn’t it apply only when i have the keyboard plugged to my pc you think?
Has this been resolved yet? I’m using Spitfire BBC Symphonic Orchestra and Labs. Most of them randomly go to zero volume when I stop playback. I’ve tried everything! I have checked all my MIDI CC automation (I’m using CC7 and CC11) and nothing is set to zero at any point. Still my volume sliders go down on playback. I can’t find any pattern. Some always do, some sometimes do. It is impossible to continue this way. Please help! 
I know it sucks… I just simply gave up on it. Hoping someone would figure it out. But i have to ask a question given that we both apparently tried the same things. Are you running some orchestral template from the Spitfire website for the BBCSO Pro/Core? Like pre loaded tracks for all the sections and such?
Hi Nicolas, no, I’m not using any templates. Are you using them? Is that any better? From what I read in this forum, people have it with all kinds of VSTs, from different brands, so it must be a Cubase thing. I’m on Artist Pro 14.
I didn’t have it when I started the composition, it started happening when it became more complex, but it’s still quite simple: other than using 2 CCs, I’m doing nothing more than entering notes manually or via my midi keyboard. I’m quite new to Cubase and still need to figure out effects and modifiers. I don’t use expression maps because they’re not available in Cubase Artist, so that can’t be the problem.
Hi Iris, I am using the templates that were created by the Spitfire team but I tweaked them for my limited ram. I’m using the pro version and it’s been going like this ever since I started using the templates. Even with the expression maps it still does this. So, its not an Artist Version thing.
It’s truly frustrating if you want to just listen to the sound of the instrument while the playback is paused. Like I told you I just gave up on the solution.
Hope this thread reaches someone who can figure out the problem.
Could it be the Midi Reset Function in the preferences?
Hi, I had the sam problem (but only with there Modulation automation) in Logic for Albion One and for BBC Orchester. I could solve the issue following the suggestions of Spitfire:
f you’re using Logic Pro as your DAW and finding that when you stop playback the Dynamics control in your libraries gets reset to a value of 0 (resulting in soft or no sound when playing on your MIDI keyboard) then see the settings below.
First you should try the “No Reset” option in the Track panel. This will stop Logic from sending reset messages to the plugin when playback is paused, and is independent of the global parameters for this.
Hey @Realist , I tried to see the reset option in the MIDI/Preferences and it wasn’t checked but the issue remained…
Might there be an option to reset in the individual tracks as @p.rindler mention below with Logic? Because that might be the issue most probably.
