I have a number of VST samplers. When I bounce midi to audio in Reason the audio is clipping when I use the Eastwest Play VST. The samples are large and many 24 bit. I have a monster PC with 64MB Ram and a recent AMD cpu.
How can I avoid clippimg? Can I route the VST to an audio track, while I am playing a midi controller?

Setting the desktop to backround services really affects it.
Programs will be optimized for programs so it really depends on what you wanna allocate the cpu to.
The asio backround service or the program using the asio?

Also make sure nothing is clipping.

If the audio from a bounced VST is clipping then the volume within the plugin was probably too high. Turn down the volume inside of the plugin.

This has absolutely nothing to do with clipping audio while rendering VST, RE, stock devices, or anything else. Not sure where you got that from. :shock: :o

Agreed! :) Sounds like both slory99 and Jowe79 need to turn the volume down on their VST.

Turn the volume down on the problem plugins or your entire mix. That is literally the only reason you're clipping.

Of course! On the VST rack device Mix Channel, click the "REC SOURCE" box. This makes the instrument available in the Audio Input from a list of drop down options as a record source. Then, create an Audio Channel, and from the rack device Audio Channel, select that instrument in the "AUDIO INPUT" drop down list. Be sure you check off stereo/mono, etc. Before you begin recording, arm the track in the sequencer by selecting the red bullseye icon called "Record Enable".

That said, don't forget you can just record the instrument via MIDI input in it's own Mix Channel sequencer track as well...
