im not sure is it cubase or transientshaper bug- other looser plugs works ok for now.
someone else have this problem?

nextaz

Yeah, I have the problem. I can't get it to load at all. It displays the plugin in my list of VST effects, I select it then...nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even an error message.

I've been having a similar probelm in Sonar where Transient Shaper will not load in some instances. Sometimes it will load just fine, othertimes I'll get an error stating "The Following VST plug-in failed to load: - (followed by the directory and name of the .dll)"

Then:

Doesn't happen all the time though. Again sometimes the plug-in will load just fine. I've found a reproducable way of making it NOT load, but getting it to load is a lot more dodgey.

but i have sometimes problem wich cubase4 - sometimes im unable to insert plugin in some projects. when i restart cubase i can open plugin in fresh project but again in that particular project i cant.

Okay some questions to maybe get this sorted ...
Did you save the project with Transient Shaper in it and then try to load it? Because there was a parameter change (I added the smoothness parameter IIRC), so this could mess up the host trying to load the file.

Also you already tried to make the host perform a total rescan of the plug-in(s), so it doesn't still think it has to load some older version, right?

Furthermore you didn't change the name nor location of the file on the HD? (I know all this are stupid questions.)

Well besides that I'm clueless :/.

P.S. The above applies to all that have loading problems with this plug-in. I'm really sorry for that BTW

Great stuff!

I think onthe 3 band splitter you forgot to include:

Code: Select all

bool AGain::getOutputProperties (VstInt32 index, VstPinProperties* properties)
	{
		bool returnCode = false;
		if (index < 6)
		{
			sprintf (properties->label, "My %1d Out", index + 1);
			properties->flags = kVstPinIsStereo | kVstPinIsActive;
			returnCode = true;
		}
		return (returnCode);
	}

Oh hehe, there was something, yeah the 3-Band-Splitter

.
It's about the outs/ins not showing up as stereo but rather 6 monos right? Gonna write me a note so I won't forget it for like the ... dozens time, again

. Sorry and thanks for the reminder

In my case, no, and on top of it, the first version I downloaded was the release version.

Again, no in my case.

If I open a completely new project in Sonar and open Transient Shaper it loads just fine.

Trying to open it in the one project where I actually want a Transient Shaper [of course] causes it not to load with the error I showed above. In fact, if I continue to mess around, I can make the VST Adapter crash. To do that I bassically load that same project in safe mode without Transient Shaper, then load Transient Shaper where I was originally trying. That will consistently cause a crash.

I can PM you the XP crash log if you can make heads or tails of that.

Also, I'm not sure if this is at all relevant, but I noticed that the CLSID that your plug-in shows {141AC902-5452-5348-5452-414E53497E31} is extremely similar to Stillwell Audio's Transient Monster {141AC902-5472-4D6F-5452-414E53497E31} which I was demo'ing in the same project that caused the crash. Is it possible that the VST adapter is getting the ID's confused somehow?

I only use Cubase Studio 4 so I can only comment on it there.

Okay I had a chance to test on Cubase SX3 today, and all plug-ins worked fine. I'm trying to get a hand at Cubase 4 and Sonar to test on as well to see what is going on, because right now I have no clue, except for maybe that someone else's plug-in is using the same unique ID as mine, so to totaly exclude this possiblity I re-registered a new ID at Steinberg: http://loser.asseca.com/downloads/Trans ... -09-25.zip

Funkybot's Evil Twin: Seeing that crash report might help, however it also might not though

.

P.S. You could also try to rename the .dll file and see what that does.

Tried both the new version as well as renaming the .dll and (named it Transient Shaper.dll) to no success. This is one of the more wierd bugs I've come across. If I can find anything else out I'll keep you posted.

If you can get your hands on Sonar and need a project file to test on, let me know.
