ContinueTheEnd Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Greetings everyone, Does anyone know how to successfully use multiple instances of the free SFZ player plug-in with REAPER? If I use one instance, everything works/sounds fine, but as soon as I add more than one instance of the SFZ player plugin, I hear a hideous crackling/popping upon playback. I have seen this problem mentioned before, but my question is: is there any way to fix this? Some setting or something that can be adjusted so I can have more than one SFZ player plug-in active? Any advice is appreciated - and again, my DAW is REAPER. Thanks! -ContinueTheEnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJM Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Do you mean sfz or sfz+? If you mean sfz, I can't remember any problems with it (I'm also a REAPER user), in this case you might try using sfz+ (free as well) instead. And if you meant sfz+, I can't use multiple instances with it either, so you will have to use up all the 16 channels of that single instance - you can route things nicely in REAPER, so other tracks can send their midi into the sfz+-track and recieve their audio from there (although you have to enable "allow feedback routing" in the project settings).

CSmith Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm not sure about Reaper, but I had a similar problem in FL Studio that I was able to fix by turning off multithreading in the options. Maybe it'll fix your Reaper problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eilios Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sounds like your CPU can't handle it! I have the paid version of SFZ personally(or, I would, if my computer was operational right now ) so I can just load up a bunch of stuff into 1 plugin, so I don't have that problem. Actually, I have similar problems(not using SFZ that much, by the by) in some of my more complex songs(esp. ones that use a lot of dblue glitch!). What are your specs?

ContinueTheEnd Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Never mind, everyone - apparently I had an older version of the SFZ player; I downloaded the version at http://wayback.archive.org/web/jsp/Interstitial.jsp?seconds=5&date=1184537031000&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rgcaudio.com%2Fdownloads%2Ffreeware%2Fsfz.zip&target=http%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20070715220351%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.rgcaudio.com%2Fdownloads%2Ffreeware%2Fsfz.zip and that SFZ player worked fine with multiple instances...I now have 8+ instances of the SFZ player (with different soundfonts, etc.) playing just fine. Thanks everyone for the help...I guess sometimes you just gotta search around for a quick fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
