Just playing around with Lumina. The ensemble phrases all seem to have awful rustling sounds that repeat. One off would be realistic but every time a phrase repeats just sounds fake. Anyone please able to confirm? I have found this with some other lib
Thanks

 

That happens when sound sources are recorded in "wet" environment and machine then loops them without considering such background noises. Many libs have those, some devs try to sell the noises as feature, e.g. "increased realism".

 

Although Andrew is right in general, i cannot confirm this for Lumina. I have v1.5 and i can hear no rustling sounds whatsoever in the Trio Ensemble Phrases nor in any other part of the library. The only easily spotted flaw i can find, is some phrases are not looped perfectly.

 

I cannot get rid of the rustling artifact in Lumina 2.1 either It's similar sounding when you are out of resources but my CPU is barely at 4% when hitting any note in any library inside Lumina also I'm using SSD's with 6kB preload also RAM is barely at 1GB load out of 32GB this is the only library I'm having rustling issues with and I have a massive collection everything else working just fine. Any ideas for a fix ? Thanks

 

Dunno if this will work but perhaps try playing the presets dry without any effects, see if this can get you a clean sound... If so, you can add your own plugs and you 'll be good to go i guess.
Cheers

 

Turned off one of the reverbs that has the 'send level' knob (global reverb is still on which gives it some room) and the rustling is gone. Thanks
