Unable to render multiple files in Nebula Man

[Mysterygrimms]

Every time I try to render multiple files in Nebula Man, I get render complete! before it finishes rendering all audio tracks.

I have tried both Nebula 1.5.2 (Purchased) and Nebula v2 dev3 (I like this version better) and both fail, when trying to render more than one file at a time (Also made sure to use updated AcquaL01.dll).

I also some times get garbled text showing weird file extensions (Look at pic below Shakers_NR)

For example, I was trying to nebulize some vocals I recorded (eight mono tracks), using Henry Olonga's (Roiher mic preset and 5033 into TCS) and I keep getting errors or it will render 3 out of the 8 files or complete rendering right away. All files are 44.1khz 24 bit.

I use Nebula Reverb x64. I also make sure to go to "Preview using source B Project Pool item FX chain" before rendering.

Trying to figure out, if anyone in the Nebula community has run into this problem before or a similar one and maybe can offer me a solution or steps to take, to remedy this problem?

Specs in case there needed:

Windows 7 x64 bit
i7 3820k
256 GB SSD
16 GB DDR3 Ram

Thanks.

Regarding garbled file names ...

Do your path names contain any non-standard characters ? I think this may be the reason for this misbehaviour.

Regarding NebulaMan 2 renderings...

There are double backslashes in destination file names.
Please check rendering settings.

I rendered the audio files to my J drive (Root Directory) after having numerous problems rendering to my Studio One Project Folder. I just noticed the double backslashes, myself. Thanks for pointing that out. I will check right now and reply back momentarily.

Thanks.

Update: Ok when I went to select my J drive (Root directory) Nebula 2 automatically put in double backslashes. I deleted the one back slash than tried to render a single audio file this time but got rendering complete 0 secs. I did load an FX chain this time though. Henry Olonga stuff.

Update 2: Ok just applied same setting to a single audio file and rendered to desktop and it worked this time. Let me try the 8 mono files at one time and see if that will work.

For a simple test, create j:\temp and put your audio files inside it.
Then use NebulaMan 1.5.2 and add files to the project pool, add fx to preview source B of the root and start rendering.

Does it work ?

If you use NebulaMan 2, beside project pool stuff, also check settings before rendering - set postfix to _NR and set output dir to j:\temp. Uncheck all checkboxes.

This should work as well.

Ok let me try the steps you just outlined for me. I will reply back in a few minutes. Thanks.

Update: ok step 1 worked. I created j:/temp put audio files into J:/temp folder. Pulled them up in the project pool, using directory and used preview source b to render tracks, with loaded Henry Olonga effects. Thanks Zab. I am going to try step 2 (And pray it works). I like Nebula Man 2 dev 3 much better. Thanks for your assistance!

Update 2: Step 2 worked as well! I'm a very happy man Zab. Thanks. I do not know why it works this way but you're the developer not me Thanks again Zab!

Ok, great !!

Can you confirm you were using non standard chars in paths first time you've encountered problems ?

I have to be sure to put this one to the known issues list.

Otherwise, there are no limitations about file paths.

NebulaMan 2 is definitively a noticeable step from 1.5.2. I am constantly improving it to be more powerful and more simple to use. Note, it is still in the development ... a lot of work still has to be done.

Cheers,

Ok I do have a "Dash with a space between words?" Is that considered a non standard character? For example

J:\Studio One Multitrack Projects\Mysterygrimms - Nebulized Tracks

No, this shouldn't be a problem. Ok, i will investigate this further.

Thanks!
