• The plug-in does not support this feature at this time.

Is there a Reason Rack Extension?

• Please note that we didn't create a Rack Extension for Beatmaker HUSTLE 2 (yet), so the existing RE version of Virtual Bassist doesn't include the new features such as:

  • MIDI Drag’n’Drop
  • Improved song building
  • 2.0 New Styles and Presets
  • Finisher Section
  • UI Facelift

   

  In case you own the Rack Extension of Virtual Bassist and want to upgrade to version 2: We do offer a special 50% discount for the respective VST version. You can read more about this matter here. 

Can I use multiple audio outputs?

• Beatmaker HUSTLE features Multi-Outs to make the processing of each drum signal more flexible, DAWs handle multi-out plugins in various ways. To properly use the multi-out functionality in your DAW you might have to create extra AUX tracks and/or use the dedicated multi-out version of Beatmaker HUSTLE.
• Sending an Instrument through its individual out will remove it from the master processing of Beatmaker HUSTLE, so please be aware, that Mix-Preset, Reverb, Saturate, Maximize, and of course Master Volume will not affect Kits routed to their individual outs.  

Are there any known issues?

• Midi Learn is not working for all controls.
• When Latch is enabled and playing a note the playing note is not highlighted
  
• Control values are not disappearing after MIDI CC
• Beatmaker HUSTLE is currently not working in Mixcraft 8. Please consider updating to Mixcraft 9!
• Some “Mix” presets can result in negative phase correlation in the upper "Amount" value ranges (this is barely audible)
• DAW Pro Tools:
  • If you don't save your customized kit and close the session, your adjustments will get lost. Always make sure to save your customized kit!
  • Sometimes the selected kit won't get saved.
  • Single Drum Selection is not being saved (make sure to save a preset with your customized drum selections to work around this)
  • Dragging and Dropping a phrase in certain versions of Pro Tools can result in the channel’s left stereo panning to be set to the center
• DAW Reason:
  • Only the first 7 sounds are routable for using multiple outputs.
• The Save button does function, though it looks inactive.
