Renoise do not render first notes sometimes

video link

In this case it’s MSoundFactory synth.

Even if I have option enabled to not suspend plugins, they’re suspended after hard stop.

And sometimes instruments do not play first notes right after that stop.

This wouldn’t be a problem, unless before render Renoise made hard stop anyway, so I have silence where notes should be and I must create separate pattern to initialize instrument by playing some note.

Afaik this has been a long time issue with certain plugins .

True. But I hope that will be solved.

IMO it may be useful to render 0.5 second silence before proper render starts. Maybe it would help. After all it happens right after hard stop.

Try puting a first note with zero velocityand a second note with 01 delay time , all onthe same line .

But I agree , workarounds are just that , and they aren’t really beneficial if you want to render a short portion etc..

I use many VST instruments and have never had this problem. However, I do have problems with a VST plugin from Soundtoy called PanMan. Sometimes it only plays on the left side.

MacOS Sequoia + Renois 3.5.2

Try use WASAPI on Windows instead ASIO, works for me.

I think interface between soundcard and DAW has nothing to do with mixing.

Despite the title, I think this is the same issue as:

I only use samples, with some eq and sometimes also run into this problem when rendering a complete song.

As a workaround, I add a short empty pattern before the start of my song.

This is surprising to me. Is it a recent thing or has it been happening for a while (i.e. before 3.5)?

It happens for decennia, I kid you not. I’m happy with the workaround, just wanted to point out that it’s not vsti related. Happens with samples too, not sure if it happens all the time though. I don’t finish many songs :slight_smile:
