Hi guys,
I'm demoing the BCA's FAM plugin in Reaper's latest version (win 7 machine). The input signal is interrupted by FAM, wherever in the FX chain I insert this plugin.
For example, I was following the instructions in this tutorial: https://www.bluecataudio.com/Tutorials/ ... ng_Reaper/
The 2nd FAM would not get any signal whatsoever, unless I bypass the first instance of the plugin. Also, I can't hear anything as long as FAM is active (i.e., not bypassed).
FreqAnalyst Multi - doesn't let the signal through

Oh look, my thread got linked!
If you were using the VST3 version of their plugins, probably advisable that you stick to the VST2 versions. This goes especially for their older plugins IME. When I say "older" I mean the ones that haven't been updated in the last year or so.

It is indeed strongly recommended to stick to VST2 unless you really need some specific VST3 features. This basically means: use VST2, except if you are using Cubase and want to avoid its bugs (editor window resizing on Windows and side chain support)...
VST3 support is pretty bad in many hosts, and most plug-ins are much more stable in VST2 format, which has been here for a very long time.

Good to know. I just would like to report that I've been using Destructor VST3 with no problems, but I'll heed your advice.Blue Cat Audio wrote:It is indeed strongly recommended to stick to VST2 unless you really need some specific VST3 features.

FWIW, I've had good luck with the VST3 versions of most of BC's plugins, like I mentioned. Except for some of the more aged ones like DPMP.monomox wrote:Wait, from your link, it sounds like you can't resize the GUI in Windows for VST2, is that right?
Oh, what the heck, I'll just give it a try...
And both the VST2 versions and the VST3 versions support window sizing in Reaper btw.
For some reason, the image is getting shrunk down to ant size, but my point of posting that was to show that both versions were running in the large window mode.

That's just a Cubase bug (on Windows). All other hosts should just work fine.monomox wrote:Wait, from your link, it sounds like you can't resize the GUI in Windows for VST2, is that right?
Our VST3 plug-ins should indeed work fine in most cases. But if you don't use Cubase I don't think there is much benefit in using the VST3 versions in general (not only our plug-ins).
