DSK releases Brass VSTi

I have rendering problems dsk brass in FL Studio 7.
The first note is not rendered, and the other are out of time and tempo.

I also have rendering problems in dsk strings in fl studio 7, I unchecked reset plugins on transport and the instruments still won’t even play…

SAME PROBLEM!!! anyone have any answers?? cause that would be nice!!!

Sharchi, thank you for providing a workaround for this rendering problem. I’ve got 2 or 3 songs using multiple DSK instruments and I was MORTIFIED that I douldn’t get those incredible sounds to render. You’re a lifesaver, or at least a beat-saviour!

Hmmmm? Im having that same issue with rendering. Why don’t they just make a patch that fixes that problem? Rookies (including me) will not understand how to do this

“The workaround I’m using is to render out any section which uses the DSK plugin as a wav file, then re import it in a sampler channel”

Because the sound will not render “WHAT SO EVER” so how does this fix the issue? What do you mean by “render out?” this is confusing, I’m really thinking about just in installing the whole program because this is becoming a headache! LOL hopefully someone can help.

YOU CAN ONLY USE THE BRASS / STRINGS PLUGIN ON ONE CHANNEL or it wont export at all. So you need to get rid of all the other channels with Brass Plugin.

Let’s say you have used the Brass Plugin on 3 separate channels. And now you cant hear anything you export. So delete all those channels except for ONE (or paste them on a dummy channel – eg Piano or whatever). In your mixer, mute everything except the single remaining Brass Channel, and export it to a wav. Then reimport that wav file – it no longer uses the Brass plugin, it is a simple wav file. Now, repeat the procedure for all the different Brass / String instances you needed. That’s the workaround. I repeat, you can only use the Brass OR strings plugin in ONE channel (FL Studio).

If you can’t understand this you simply need to know your DAW better and come back to this later. Good luck!

OK I received your FLP but I dont have your plugins so I cant fix the file. But the problem was easily apparent – as I said several times you can only use ONE dsk plugin in your project, yet you have TWO. This was causing the problem. After deleting one I was able to export wav files out for each of the individual parts, as per the workaround mentioned. I exported them dry so you will need to add your own EQ, Delay, Reverb etc to make it sound like you had it. Good luck with your music!

Presumably the creator of the DSK plugins is aware of the problem, but there’s no fix yet? What gives?

ive been having the same problem with my latest track

thanks sharchi for the advise, i will give that a try :)

@ glenn…. i have this problem too.

what i do to get the first note to play is create a dummy note… before the first note i input a note in the piano roll and set the velocity to 0

you wont hear the dummy note, but the “first note” that wouldnt play in the first place is no longer the first note and should play fine ;)

I just spent 3 weeks fighting a “mysterious” problem in FL Studio and finally narrowed it down to DSK Brass. FL Studio sometimes would hang, sometimes would crash with error messages, and sometimes would blue-screen my Dell laptop. Sometimes the brass would play, sometimes it would not. Sometimes it would render, sometimes not.

At first I suspected the Dell sound-card, because it is not ASIO. I installed ASIO-4All, but that introduced new problems. I updated the sound-card driver, and that fixed some latency issues, but I was still getting the software hang. Also, I used the external ASIO card in my M-Audio Fasttrack Pro box, and I still had trouble.

One night, everything worked, magically, so I stayed up all night finishing the piece. When it came time to render, the system crashed. I also suspected that the FL file may have been corrupted with some rogue data, and was almost ready to export everything out as MIDI and start over, when I finally started replacing all of the third-party VSTi channels with FL default sounds. But even after replacing the DSK Brass, I was still having problems, so I still was not fully aware of the cause. Finally, I deleted the channel that had the brass part, as well as the Pattern in the Playlist that referenced the channel. Then I created a new Channel with the Organized Trio plug-in, and wrote out the same horn licks for B3. Everything worked. That is when I realized something was messed up with DSK Brass and/or the way that FL Studio wraps its VSTis.

Now, as a further test, I wrote a new song from scratch using another DSK plugin, this time the Asian Dreamz. I haven’t used the strings, yet, because I was getting pretty good results from Sytrus. But now that I see some of you complaining about DSK Strings, I may test it out. Or maybe not. Why use a plugin that is faulty?

I am sad that the DSK Brass is flawed. The sound is excellent. While it is not perfect, it is better than anything else out there, even the stuff from SoundFonts.it. The trumpet and tenor sax, with a little tweaking in the ADSR parameters sound very convincing, except for in fast runs.

As you can see, I’ve invested a lot of time in this, recently, and it was very, very frustrating. I was thinking about calling DSK and telling him what great sounds he has created, and ask if I can help him troubleshoot the problem. But now that I see how many others are having the same problem and he hasn’t fixed it, I don’t think it would be worth my time. I still think he’s created some great stuff, and I’ll certainly pay for the plug-ins that work, but I can’t waste any more time fighting DSK Brass. It just isn’t worth my time. Better to get a trumpet player into my studio to lay down real licks, and I’ll throw my own tenor on another track.

Thanks all for sharing your problems, here. It was nice to finally find other people having the same trouble. You saved me the trouble of trying to make this plug-in work. I realize now that it’s not just a Vista issue, or a Dell hardware issue. But it does sound like an FL Studio problem combined with something wrong in the plug-in.

I’m downloading it and wanna know if it will work without the rendering issue in Cubase sx2.
Can anyone tell me?

Peeepzzz, here is a solution to the fact that DSK Brass wont render at all.

I use FL studio 8.0.2 now and I use DSK Brass like this.

I put DSK Brass as an effect in my mixer. I configure the MIDI port to for example 1.

Then I go to my channels list and add a new ‘MIDI out’. That MIDI out you have to configure to the same port as the DSK Brass in your mixer.

Et voila.. there you have a rendering (without first note) DSK Brass

The only problems that will persist are:
- Don’t use multiple DSK Brass instances nur DSK Strings and DSK brass together.
- The first note will still not render. So be creative and put the a dummy first note before the first note. (Can’t be done always.)

I’ve also created a Mixer preset channel for use with that you can use to gate the little noise there is. (Maximus needed)

Mhm…
Im having the same issue with the DSK Brass. It’s prety annoying. Is there anything I can do? Most tracks I make are based On brass :(

thanks you all.. my problem is solved.. thanks lyl boy

Also as well as all the other answers i have seen on this site, another possibility could be that you only have the demo version. Rather it be the Demo of FL, or DSK. If you are using the demo it will automatically drop the sound into mute mode every so often. To keep you from making hit tracks without paying your sure. I ran in to this same situation with my Demo of FL trying to use Poizone. Amazing sounds, they know that, and they make sure you do what you got to for it. This is just my solution to your problems.

PS: Do u even now what “freeware” means???

kill all the other sounds. and keep on the sounds that werent working. record the whole track trough edison. layer that recorded track over the whole project with the rest of the instruments included. sounds the same to me. works great. still a hassle. just get a new plugin i suggest
