NOTION Music Forum

I converted the 32 bit Miroslav Philarmonic instruments with JBridge to be able to use them with Notion 4 in 64 bit mode (with 64 bit PC). But every time I play some music that includes one or more Miroslav instruments, music bars keep skipping and nasty loud cracks come out as if the sound card was to explode. Both my PC and sound card can handle a lot of data, so the problem is not there. Any good ideas on how to solve this problem ? Please do not be too "technical" as I am not a computer guru !

My guess is that this is a limitation of J-Bridge. If you are going to work in Miroslav, I would suggest running Notion in 32-bit for better results until Miroslav has a 64-bit version. J-Bridge is just not that stable.

Thank you ! I will try that.

I had the same problem, I solved it by increasing my sound card's ASIO buffer from 256 to 512 samples.

Thanks petrobbb,

That is also a very likely solution.

Petrobbb, I like your idea of increasing a sound card ASIO buffer from 256 to 512. What is the procedure ? I have Realteck High Defin. audio card, but I think it is integrated to the motherboard.
2nd question : if I reinstall Notion in 32 bits mode, will I be able to play all the music I already composed with Notion 64 bits ? I don't want to lose a whole year of composing. Thanks!

In the Notion Audio setup screen, click the "Control Panel" button. But onboard audio usually doesn't even have an ASIO drive.

You won't lose what you've written, but why would you want to?

My ASIO drive is set at 512 samples. In Notion4, audio is set with ASIO. Still, when I play music written with Miroslav instruments (alone or with Notion4 instruments), there are loud cracking sounds and music bars skip all the time. I just want to be able to use Miroslav instruments without bugs. If the only solution is to reinstall Notion4 in 32 bits, then I will do it. But I just want to make sure I will be able to retreive all the music I already composed with Notion4 64 bits. In your opinion, what is the best solution at this point ?

Are you using Miroslav with jBridge? Otherwise, it won't load in Notion 64bit

Yes, I am using JBridge. But as one administrator said (see earlier posts), JBridge is sometimes unstable.
