La Noire Audio Problems Pc
Jackie Bullinger
Posting this to safe other studio display users a lot of time and hassle. YOU HAVE TO RESTART your studio display on occasion, especially if you run into issues with the3 camera, microphone or speakers. The studio display runs its own internal version of IOS that operates the camera, speakers and microphone. Much like ANY other device that runs its own operating system, you can't run it indefinitely without ever restarting it. You will eventually run into issues and your device does funny stuff. I got my studio display on march 18th and yesterday the camera started acting up, then the microphone etc. After hours with Apple support and trying all kind of things to isolate the issue, it occurred to me that we did EVERYTHING except restart/reboot the display itself. because it has no power button and no software control to restart it, the only way to do it is to unplug it from the power source, wait at least 1 full minute and plug it back in. Of course it immediately solved all the issues. So if your display - or for that matter any of your other devices - starts acting up. Restart it that way to see if the issue resolves. Apple: please implement a firmware update that allows for rebooting the display via system preferences rather than having to crawl ion the floor find the plug, unplug it, wait, plug it back in.
its possible a firmware update can improve this issue but the correct way is to implement a restart function other than crawling on the floor and unplugging it. Every device that runs a consumer based operating system will need to be restarted on occasion. This monitor runs IOS....and just like your iPhone....ya can't run it indefinitely without restarting it or you run into funny issues.
*It was only after this incident that I started looking at Google and within 1 search "apple studio display speakers not working" I found this post. Thank you so much for posting the solution. Rebooting the monitor did the trick!!
PS: Since there is no way to properly restart the monitor, unplugging it from the power source to reboot it means of course you are essentially crashing it which if done repeatedly or regularly can cause issues just like constantly crashing your computer or smartphone instead of properly shutting it down or restarting it. Apple....please fix this by implementing a way to correctly restart/reboot the display operating system.
Very helpful!! I just got my new display a week ago, hooked it up to my 2020 13" MBP and noticed that the "default for display" resolution was 1920x1080, which seemed insane. I tried to do firmware update it but no update was detected despite running firmware version 15.3. When I switched it to "scaled" so that I could increase the resolution to the monitor's true native setting, I was given the warning "scaling display may result in reduced performance" (or something similar). Could not figure out what was going on, so I randomly hopped on here, and found this thread. Restarted via power cycle, and boom, my native resolution is now 2560x1440, AND it finally found the 15.4 firmware update.
Rebooting the MBP, swapping ports on the MBP didn't help. The source of the audio being played (YouTube via web, music from Apple Music, Apple Music downloaded to the MBP and played locally) didn't matter.
well its a monitor so its unusual having to do that. But it is upsetting that 2 months later Apple support still has not caught on to this as the first go-to solution when studio display customers call with weird issues.
It is a monitor and it would ordinarily be unusual to need to reboot a monitor. However, this monitor actually runs iOS 15.4 (soon to be 15.5), so it's not that unusual. Knowing that was the reason I thought about rebooting the Studio Display but had to come here to find out how to do it.
The Studio Display is more than just a monitor. I just wonder what, if anything, AAPL plans on doing with the A13 Bionic processor and iOS 15 built into this puppy. It's almost like an iPad on steroids. But I digress...
Many thanks for this tip. My audio was terrible through the display speakers and I was about to resign myself to sending the display back to Apple (difficult when it's the only one I have), when I remembered the thing has its own processor so I went in search of advice on rebooting it and found your advice. It worked perfectly and the audio is now OK.
Glad you found this post. I am not concerned about rebooting the connected computer. But if the only way to reboot the display is to unplug it...then we in essence crash the display's OS. May not be an issue but since it is required to do so on occasions it would be wise for Apple to allow us to do it properly via a software reboot/restart.
They really need to fix this display. I have had to reboot it numerous times when the usbc ports stop working on it, the audio suddenly stops working or when the display just "freezes up". It's sad that for the price of this monitor that it doesn't work flawlessly. As much as a love the display quality and the look of the display, to have to even think about rebooting it is just plain silly... especially since there is not a power switch, reset switch or some other way to reboot it short of unplugging it. Ironically, Mine didn't start acting up until after my return period ended. I hope the 15.5 update will fix all of these problems.
I have the issue that the fan in my display is running on max all the time, even if the cable is unplugged. Sounds exactly like the computer fan but realised that it is the studio display that makes the noise. I have restarted the screen several times, updated with the latest firmware but no luck. Anyone that knows how to reset the firmware?
Been away from the forum for awhile... but not my Pianoteq.
I've listened to a lot of demos of the NI Noire Piano and it sure seems like a lot of fun. Purists would probably be annoyed and me too if used too much or in a more orchestrated environment. But I like fun.
I've tried running Pianoteq through a bunch of demos of particle effect and granular vsts but nothing has come close to Noire. I also thought there might be an intelligent random arp generator out there I could combine with the right delay and shimmer effects, but haven't found that either. But then I see in the Noire manual that you can adjust the balance of the particle engine to any mix with the pure/felt piano you want. This might be the way to go, albeit a bit expensive at $150 for an effect. But I'd love to hear my fav Pianoteq voices blended with the Noire particle effect... and with various mixes of the felt piano. But then... I'm not a purist - not that there's anything wrong with purists either.
Oh yeah... I rekon there was a query in there: has anyone found any VSTs that accomplish anything similar to the "Noire effect", that is, the smart algorithm, particle, or granular type effect? I don't mean mangling, but more subtle. And while we are on the subject, any other useful VST effects to combine with Pianoteq?
Lexikon-Sonate found here: is pretty cool. It's not a VST but will load Pianoteq as the player for its algorithms. A rather scholarly interface but it's safe to install - I had no problems. There's some genius here. Not me, but the programmer.
VST plugin ecosystem at Waves.com for all kinds of production is one of my favs. There are no shortages of great individual plugins but I'm happy to recommend looking into various tools at Waves - they're often nicely based on good workflows and have nice 'bents' on traditional workflows.. great delay tools and EQs, compression choices and so on.. you can't help but be able to make all kinds of unique creations with Pianoteq which rival other products. Cheers.
Coming to the vst, I think that you can give a look at the Unfilered Audio Byome or Triad, that are modular multi effects plugins very capable in terms of audio processing.
The modulation possibilities are quite impressive, at the cost of some cpu power.
Yes... it's very nice. I tried out the demo. It's like a smart shimmer, but still lacks the AI - or smart accompaniment - that the Noire appears to impart with the various algorithms you can choose from. Purchasing Noire would actually be cheaper and could still be used with different instruments, though it would impart its pianistic tone to the accompanying effect. Unfortunately sample libraries like Noire rarely come with demo versions. Output's Portal is a nice effect but it does too much modulation. I'm not so interested in the phasey stuff - I like the softer smart particles.
Speaking of Ableton, my DAW of choice too - though I think these plugins will run in most DAWs - there are some interesting plugins here:
-packs
I've been eyeing this one... maybe because the demo uses piano:
The trick with these is subtlety... avoiding clutter and a lot of detuning or too many cascading echos. Of course it depends on how dense your composition is, or the moment in your composition where you apply the effect. Nothing has to be used for an entire musical piece. There are no rules... though we would like folks not to run away.
Oh yeah, I do like that reverb Fleer, thanks. Just will say it's more synthetic rather than a realism ticket.. but for modern lush piano a definite set of advantages (tunable to key - non-room type etc.).. I think it's just made my shopping list, thank you
Attempting similar things in the past, I do think a mix of Pianoteq plus a clever setup with Max devices will get us closest, but with some long sessions of course trying all kinds of timings/reverbs on multi-chanels etc.. pulling hair maybe
