Thank you, that was some good advice! I will keep practicing, but it's always nice to know a bit about what I should practice before throwing myself headlong into it.

I can play the guitar and am currently learning to play the piano.

Thank you for your replies. I know it's a bit vague, I was just looking for somewhere to start. You know, like a learning guide or curve, something like: - Learn to read sheet music (of course, but now these are just examples) - Learn the various instruments in orchestras, their families...

I'm rather new into composing and would, naturally, like to get better. I would like to one day be able to create movie-like scores, soundtracks, game music, epic music and so forth - that kind of genre. I've read somewhere that it's essential to learn about orchestration and how things build...

Yeah I guess I learned that the hard way now. I'll definitely not forget it at least :facepalm: :rolleyes: Thanks for your help.

I'm using a digital piano to transfer MIDI data to play virtual instruments (EastWest). But I had a look on a couple of tutorials on the Internet these past days to learn more, and they all used instrument tracks instead of MIDI tracks, so I thought that maybe that's what I ought to use...

It worked! Thank heavens! I've overloaded the system with max clipping and more than 10 drum tracks at their highest volumes, and no noise! Only two VST's are loaded. I can't say how relieved I am, after days I can finally continue with my composing. Thanks for your help, I've learned a bit in...

I've been thinking you might be right about the VST thing. The noise started when I started using instrument tracks, and when I have to assign an instrument to each of these tracks, a new instance of the VST is loaded. I am not longer able to just load the one instance and then use the different...

I am 100% sure that I've set it to ASIO4ALL, yes. Checked it a couple of times now. Processor is Intel Core i5-4570 CPU 3.20GHz, RAM is 8GB, OS Windows 8.1. I believe my soundcard is a realtek hd audio drive. I tried the "generic low latency ASIO driver" like you said, but unfortunately it...

Doesn't help at all (even set it at maximum). But as the problem also occurs when I'm not recording but also just playing the recorded track, I guess it makes sense. Mind that the noise isn't recorded like the actual sound.

I am. I know, and I probably will in the future, but as it is now, I'm a bit short on money, and I'm not going to invest in one unless I am 100% sure that it (and it only) will solve this problem. I'll try out adjusting the buffer and see if it helps.

Well, it also happens when I haven't got my digital piano connected at all, so I don't think it's a problem. There is, of course, the cable between my headphones and the computer, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem. I can try and record the sound, but then I'd have to install some...

I'll try in this section of the forum as well, as it seems rather dead elsewhere and I've progressed a bit with the problem's "symptoms" (hope that's okay). I have a very annoying problem, and I can't get on with my composing before it's solved. When I'm recording (in Cubase), I get this very...
