I think what I have stumbled upon here is a very complicated problem.
Many plugins today require cross-communication with companion plugins on other tracks and channels. Rewire, Izotope Neutron, Revoice Pro, and Blue Cat's Gain Suite are some examples of these types of plugins.
These plugins do not seem to work right in Reaper when intermixed as Track FX and Take FX.
Perhaps it's due to Plugin Delay Compensation and how it is being handled in Reaper. I think what's happening is that PDC is being applied to the plugin in general (including cross-track control signals) when it should only be applied to the audio streams. Creating a new set of streams to handle control signals vs audio makes it very complicated - but appears necessary.
This, IMHO, is a DAW programmer's nightmare and I wouldn't know where to begin - but these plugins are becoming more common so it needs to be addressed. Perhaps in the meantime it would be best to avoid using these plugins as TAKE FX.
