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
I have the full version of FL studio 8 and DSK Brass is free, so what ur talking is big BS.
Btw we are talking about DSK Brass here, not Poizone (which I have the full version of)…

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.

Peepz here is (i think that is) the magical solution to the dsk brass and dsk strings… Stop using it and start using DSK Virtuoso. It has the same problems as Brass and Strings.
But this one has al the good sounds (or most of them) of brass and strings and has 6 internal layers.
How to work with them…
Assign DSK Virtuoso to a midi output port. (Right above in the fruity wrapper).
Open a new ‘MIDI out’ channel. Assign the midi port to the same number you assigned the plugin.
Then start using the plugin’s layers and for each layer you may want a new ‘MIDI out’. Remember that the layers are all set to ‘midi channel 1′ so you need to change them.
You can also assign more then one layer to a midi channel. That’s not a prob. But you cannot use more then one instance in each project.
If you have any questions then just ask me by replying this comment.
Hey, I have the same issue, just like everyone else… I read Sharchi’s comment
“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).”
Couple someone please explain exactly how to export the DKS Brass channel to a wav? I’m still getting over the basics of this program, all this computer-technical crap just confuses me..
Thanks in advance.

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 :(

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)

I found that in FL Studio it worked like this. I had 2 Z3ta samples and both were z3ta#2 or #3. If you have them like this it will not render. Open a new z3ta or vst and get one to appear without the #1,#2 etc. Sorry its not in more detail but hope it helps. Mule

I’m downloading it and wanna know if it will work without the rendering issue in Cubase sx2.
Can anyone tell me?
Just for the record, be sure to contact DSK at his website if you need support. rekkerd.org merely hosts the downloads …

Hey, your plug ins are very essential.
why not trying to hook up with cubase creators
and show these comments..
i enjoy working with your stuff, i started low budget studio and your plug ins made a huge difference..
I will promote your plug ins where i can.
so more peeps will support you.
and i haven’t have troubles with dsk till so far.
i think (commenting on Chris) it depends on which software you use.
peace
keep it up Rekkerd..
ps. how about asian symphonies or mid east symphonies..

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.

This sounds like it may work. i’m goin 2 try it..
But i wish dsk could fix it, cause the brass sound is the best i’ve heard so far….

@Jesse, to export a wave file just go here: file -> export -> wave file
Or, press or Ctrl-R to the render dialog.

Hi Everyone.
I’m actually using Logic Pro 5 on Pc & don’t have any probs you descibe.
I use more than 2 Dsk Plug’s in one project & don’t lose any sound when I Bounce into a wav.
I seems that the problem comes from FL & not Dsk Plugs.
I used more than 2 Dsk Strings into a same song & no prob. (Only CPU Speed,arghhhhh).
Would like to thank DSK for his work, I really enjoy using the plugs.
Peace
