LuketheXjesse Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 No seriously I have no clue what's going on here or why it is doing this Quote
analoq Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Maybe it doesn't have enough memory to load the selected soundfont? Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 So tell me what to do I'm not exactly a computer genius here Is it like virtual memory? Quote
Hemophiliac Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Maybe it doesn't have enough memory to load the selected soundfont? seconded, ram is kinda necessary. Quote
analoq Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 You could try closing mIRC, IE, Word, Outlook and everything else and see if it still errors. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Well shucks. I already got 2 extra gigs of RAM. Ah whatever. Yeah closing out that shit is more than likely the case considering the other times this problem didn't happen... Thanks Quote
big giant circles Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Maybe it doesn't have enough memory to load the selected soundfont? not to come across as a prick... seriously, I mean no disrespect, but this made me laugh out loud. Quote
analoq Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Ask a stupid question... wut... get a stupid answer.I am difficult, but I am fair. Quote
Kanthos Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 If you've got all kinds of other crap loaded, no. It could be a large soundfont too. Audio work on your computer is best done with as little loaded into memory as possible; some people have a separate Windows user just for audio that doesn't load anything beyond necessary drivers.

prophetik music Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 no single application can load more than 2 gigs of ram into itself. it's gotta outsource it, similar to chrome's tab=process style. the errors start around 1800 megs, in my experience. learned that one the other day when my fl was erroring out. there's a workaround hack that'll expand it to 3 gigs but you risk bricking your windows installation if you dick it up.

LuketheXjesse Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 I've been planning on getting a computer separate from our home one for doing music anyway. But hey, until I get good at soundfonts and whatnot I can just stick to my guitar guns. It could be a large soundfont too. Not only would it not load a 20,763 KB soundfont, it wouldn't load a 138 KB soundfont :\ Quote
prophetik music Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 try restarting. it'll free up some of the crap that gets locked in during the normal course of working on a system. oh, you need a computer...? Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Well I'm just using the home one right now. And I can use it for years if I wanted to. But a computer for music alone would be nice. Quote
Dj Mokram Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Well I don't know your computer's specs, but i DO know that SFZ gets quite reluctant to work with dual-core processor, if that helps. Also, depending on the version of XP you're using, it can slightly impact the perfomance on some configs. That being said, I have to be honest: Having a computer optimised for audio editing, with strictly audio editing software, not connected to the net and free of all other generic programs (text writer, spreadsheet, anti-virus), is the best option. Not the cheapest for sure, but definitely worthwhile. Anyway, I don't think your issue is really memory related. It may come from the SFZ player you're using, or the fact that you've opened multiple instances of the program. Have you tried some other SoundFonts softs? Here's some links. http://www.kvraudio.com/get/977.html http://www.terrywest.110mb.com/take1.html http://www.project5.com/products/instruments/sfz_player/default.asp Good luck. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah I downloaded Take1 and it works wonderfully. I am already working on stuff. Thanks again! Quote
Dj Mokram Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 You're welcome. Now you have no excuses not to make some kick ass remixes! Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Already working on one! Maybe you'll see me in the WIP forums sometime... Quote
OverCoat Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I have Quantum Leap RA and I have sfz guess which one works faster I don't get it, soundfonts were fine back in 2003, why is it so hard to load them now? I get all sorts of errors with sfz in renoise, which is probably the most stable VST host out there. Quote
Dj Mokram Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 It's a shame, really. It froze my computer yesterday while I was trying to load some sfARK format bank. Guess no developper ever gives crap about that format, even with sf2+. On a side note Overcoat, If you don't mind, I would be really interested in your feedback on RA? Quote
OverCoat Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 On a side note Overcoat, If you don't mind, I would be really interested in your feedback on RA? ??????? Well, it's kind of essential. It's the only really good all-encompassing ethnic sample library out there. Quote
Dj Mokram Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 But does it suffers from an unbalanced sample quality like Colossus? Quote
OverCoat Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Eh yeah some instruments don't get as much articulation as the others, but it's a miracle those instruments got any attention at ALL Quote
