Hello! I downloaded Jam Origin, which is a plug-in that acts like a midi. It is for guitar and it changes the guitar to whatever instrument you select live as you record. It actually sounds fantastic. The issue is, it needs to run at at least 128 bit depth and 44.1k hz (or was it 45. Can't rmember). It gets a little only otherwise, has trouble processing the notes and there's a noticeable latency. But in my Cubase (artist 11) if I go to Project Manager I can only det the bit depth as high as 64. Is this just the top limit for cubase, or is there another way to make it higher on just thst channel or something? I wouldn't change all the existing tracks, I just need to set it that high while I record this part, then set it back after it is laid down. All suggestions welcome. I'd really love to be able to use this thing often. Thanks!

 

You are confusing bit depth, sample rate, and maybe some other subjects. No-one uses a 128 bit DAW project bit depth.

I'm not typing all this out. Here is ChatGPTs response to this


Jam Origin’s MIDI Guitar and MIDI Bass plugins do not impose a specific required bit depth for your DAW session, but for best performance and tracking accuracy, a 24-bit session is recommended.

Why 24-bit?

• Higher resolution improves the plugin’s ability to detect pitch and dynamics accurately.
  
  
• Reduces quantization noise, which helps the software better interpret your guitar's signal for conversion into MIDI.
  
  
• Most modern audio interfaces and DAWs default to 24-bit for this reason — it's the sweet spot between precision and CPU load.
  

Summary:

• ✅ Recommended: 24-bit / 44.1 or 48 kHz session
  
  
• ❌ Avoid 16-bit if possible, as it may reduce tracking fidelity
  
  
• ✅ Use clean input signals and proper gain staging for best results
  

 

Not sure what you are thinking here. It will also work with 44.1k 16bit. or 24bit (the standard). You do need a proper guitar input on you audio interface. They have the correct, (very high) impedance for a guitar. A line or mic input does not and will sound very flat and dull. If your interface does not have that a DI box will help.

 

AT LEAST 128 bits???

 

Here is a good number for you to give some thought to. Zero.

That is the percentage chance of you finding this website randomly and coming up with this post for any purpose other than wasting other people's time.

 

Jam Origin MIDI Guitar Requirements

• Jam Origin MIDI Guitar does not require 128-bit depth. The highest practical bit depth in most DAWs and audio interfaces is 32-bit float or, for internal processing, 64-bit float.
  
  
• For optimal performance and low latency, use a buffer size of 128 samples and a sample rate of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, with a bit depth of 24 or 32 bits.
  
  
• If you experience latency or note detection issues, these are more likely due to buffer size, CPU load, or audio driver configuration, not the bit depth setting
