Dear Anyone.
Hopefully, someone will have come across a similar problem in ANY kind of notation software....
I use Quick Score Elite because I'm disabled and can't play a keyboard. It's notation software, one sound equals one stave.
I've got 2 main multi-sound plug-ins I use with QSE. Sampletank 2.5 with Miroslav Orchestra and Proteus VX. Now if I choose a bunch of sounds from one of them, each sound comes up on its own little slider, complete with places to insert plug-in effects (like EQ and stuff.) So far, so pretty.
Except the sliders don't DO anything! The only one that does anything is the one the main synth. is on. That's the only one that takes any notice of the effects you use. Which means you're putting the SAME effect on the WHOLE SYNTH, not just on one instrument sound you've chosen from it. Yet the slider the main synth is on looks exactly the same as all the other sliders. The other sliders just slide up and down without changing the output sounds in any way. Neither do any effects plugins you put on the individual sliders change any of the sounds in any way. The only time they work is if you put them on the main slider that the whole synth. is sitting on - and then, of course, the effect's applied to ALL the sounds coming out of that synth, not just the single sound you want to alter.
Anyone got any idea WHY the sounds aren't obeying the sliders they're sitting on? Oddly enough, single-shot plug-ins DO obey the sliders perfectly. It's just the multi-sound VSTs who's sounds don't individually want to play ball.
Bit of techie stuff that might/might not have any bearing. When you choose a VST, you have two options - All Channels or an individual channel. Whenever I've chosen an individual channel, I don't hear anything so I've been sticking to All Channels. If, in the SOUNDS section of QSE, I click on S for Solo in anything, all the sounds stop playing. I CAN solo a sound, however, by clicking on its stave and pressing S. It's only in the Sounds section that trying to solo a sound stops all the sounds from playing and I'm wondering if that's because all the sounds are on All Channels.
I dunno! All I know is I can't mix anything because I can't make the individual sounds obey any plug-ins.
I'm a REAL NOOOB with all this so if anyone answers - keep it simple. Please! If anyone needs more info to answer this, just ask me what info you need and I'll look it up on the program.
Yours respectfully
