Default Plugins that don't work with Reaper OSX

Hi.

First of all, apologies to those patient OSX users who have been reporting problems and not getting anywhere near the responsiveness that Windows users get.

Please use this sticky thread to report plugins that Reaper OSX does not support properly, and a description of how to make the plugin fail if it's not something obvious like "loading the plugin crashes Reaper."

Plugins that offer demo versions or are responsive to giving development NFRs will get priority.

Thank you schwa! Your attention and feedback are greatly appreciated!

POD Farm 1.03 is still a problem as explained here: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php...9&postcount=10

This can be tested with the downloadable version - even without the hardware unlocking the product the bugs can be observed.

Also ReaNeq won't run right on OSX

Same here.

by the way : THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS THREAD !!

I have GUI displaying problems with iZotope Ozone (all versions).
Native Instruments Reaktor behaves strangely, as well : it runs at the right tempo, but off-time, with a kinda lag ... I tried to fiddle with prefs but no way.
Native Instruments FM8 is still not responding properly to automation (this one is pretty bad and frustrating).

I know there are others, I'll post them shortly.

AUs and VSTs seem to get a different treatment, as well ... especially VSTIs (?).

Today I booted guitar rig 2 and the box that reaper drew for the GUI was the wrong size. I know it's small but it's extremely annoying (and might confuse new users of the program cause it hides important scroll boxes in guitar rig 2) and i figure it will be easy to fix.

Cheers for this thread guys!

Studio Devil's British Valve Custom amp sim does funny things if you open it as an FX chain, like this:



... well that's not very funny, but when you close the FX chain (for example by closing the mixer) it looks like this:



... and the only way to get rid of it is to open that same FX chain again and choose another effect in that chain. Then you can close the mixer or whatever without having the Studio Devil GUI all over the place.

Can't tell if this is a problem with the plug in or Reaper since I don't have another host on OSX to test it in.

Just REAPER. It works fine in Live 7, Live 6, GarageBand and Audacity.

I've been hollering about the same glitch in POD Farm AU, there's something really broken in the REAPER AU graphics engine... It messes up the whole screen, even the system menu bar gets blanked out.

Reaper 3.02 intel
I've being trying to get the Izotope Vinyl plugin to work properly, but I'm running into the same issues I had with Waves plugins on 64-bit reaper in OSX:

The plugin GUI displays properly but the buttons/sliders do not engage when you click on them. Instead you have to find the right place to click to engage every button/slider (i.e. a few inches off to the left...) It's impossible to work with it.

I have my VSTs set to size both up and down, as that's the only way 64-bit Waves plugins will display properly.

Any ideas on how to solve?


Thanks all.

from the osx-bug thread. (thanx jayendra)
maybe a helpfull idea.

Default Sampletank 2 LE

I have a bundled copy of Sampletank 2 LE that's at least a couple of years old. I authorized it yesterday and tried the VSTi version in Reaper 3. Some missing GUI glitch on opening the window, and there's no sound or keyboard GUI movement. Works as standalone. Also in DP6.

I'm not crying.

Default Metric Halo ConsoleConnect

hi,

ConsoleConnect, Metric Halo's plug for their line of audio interfaces, MIO, ULN, etc. works fine. However, Reaper hangs on Quit when the plug is assigned. (Reaper does respond well to Force Quit, which makes the problem less serious.) Plug can be downloaded here:

<http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/download/mio_driver.shtml>

Thanks for working on this and for your truly superior application.

Default Metric Halo ConsoleConnect

A precision on the MIO ConsoleConnect plugin causing Reaper to hang on Quit: this happens with the AU version of the plug. I saw that there was a VST version of the plug as well as AU. I tried the VST version and it works perfectly. For me, this resolves the issue.

Thanks

Image-line deckadance works in the PC version of Reaper but when You your VST plugs in Reaper it crashes and exits.

Also.... Dimension Pro by cakewalk does this

EDIT* After 'window float selected fx' and then closing that window, the original fx window has now restored the whole picture of dimension.

I docked the plugin and its doing the same as others have posted - Even when I change tabs, dimension stays on top of everything else that is docked i.e. the mixer.

Steinberg's Halion and Halion Symphonic Orchestra (which uses the Halion player) aren't working for me. The instruments load with the correct outputs but the user interfaces aren't displayed correctly in the FX chain window. Parts of the UI are displayed if you click in the window.

yep...I can confirm this happens for both Dimension Pro and Rapture - latest versions.

Another quick fix for this is to click the "UI" button twice and the full picture is then restored.

So obviously whatever coding the UI button does in between helps to restore the full images of both plugins. Who knows...maybe doing this will also fix issues that others are having with their plugins.

SlimSlowSlider C3 Multiband compressor gives crackles to playback, and crashes Reaper if I:
- Create two tracks.
- Put C3 to the first track
- Copy the C3 to the second track in the mixer view
- Open the FX chain of the second track

http://www.apulsoft.ch/freeports/

Massey TapeHead Medium works otherwise, but setting the Wet % any lower than 100% will only make the output quieter. At 0% no sound is heard. I would love to use this one in parallel!

I didn't know this plug existed, thanks letting me know! I tried to find out why the wet/dry knob doesn't work, and when I first listened to it I thought that the plug in delayed the audio a few samples (turning the wet/dry knob made it sound like phasing) - but when I apply the plug in to an item it's perfectly in sync with the unprocessed audio.

Weird.

Reaper wont delay compensate Airwindows' free ClassicChannel (about 22ms):

http://www.airwindows.com/f/Channel.dmg

The PDC works if project is playing while inserted, but as soon as I hit stop, the PDC is lost.

I was starting to get really dissappointed with my guitar playing running ahead... Thank god it wasn't me!

This is a good news.

Also, all the Sonicbirth based AU work fine now. The cocoa support (since v3.07) might also have fixed some GUI problems with other AU.

Default Crash removing DrumCore from a track's effects list

I don't file this under "bugs" since I don't know who is the culprit, but here is the scenario:

1. Create a track.
2. Insert DrumCore 3 VST to the effects of the track.
3. Remove it from the effects of the track
4. Crash.

DrumCore 3 is available for free here: http://www.submersiblemusic.com/Temp...x?contentId=65

Crash report attached.

As long as you don't need to remove it, the plugin works properly.
workaround: put it in a track by itself, and remove the track if needed.

I had a problem with Kore 2 where the Koresound browser doesn't allow you to type in text. I tried "send all keyboard input to plugin" and that didn't work. Makes it impossible to save or rename patches and set attributes. This problem also happens with Massive. Using Snow Leopard here.
