Yes i am on the latest Snow Leopard. Interseting opinion on Duende. I was very tempted by the drum strip before they raised the price

@duende: It's just amazing to me that not so many moons ago this was cutting-edge tech. Frankly, I never had one so never tested the plugs but can remember highly desirable results from people who posted examples.

I guess if there is any point to what I'm saying is it's kinda sad in someways to see certain changes.

@duende prices: I've moved on from dongles and those really expensive plugs. However, if it wasn't for the codemeter dongle I'd certainly give the native versions a whirl.

@glue: Remind me again why I don't have this tasty plug??????????

Really? I thought it was dongle necessary??

See, now look what you have done :lol:

Nah, I'll stay out of it probably. The only thing of any real interest is the drum strip but after looking at that it would have to be spectacular. (though that isn't the worst price of the bunch.

I love RP verb and reverberate and personally feel they cover all my verb needs so I'm not even going to look at that. Vocal strip? Er, I'd have to be able to sing :lol:.......no worries there.

Thanks for the info!

ONe question though , the make up gain knob is for adjusting the overall gain/level after the compression , right ?
Now in my host ( renoise ) we have pre and post faders on the mixing desk , so I assume if I bring up the post fader in renoise , this is essentially the same as the make up gain in the glue or not ?
Yes, the makeup gain can equally be done by any other plugin post The Glue if you have the Peak Clip disabled. I've kept the gain reduction amps and other circuit components in the main signal path of The Glue perfectly linear, so all colouration is purely from the gain adjustment due to the non-linear sidechain circuit, or the Peak Clip section.

I have never been a fan of compression on the masterbus , because I think it's better to get your dynamics /volumes right from the source (separate channels ) , since changing volume on channels can drastically alter the overall compression ,but using this compressor subtly gives and overall smoothness to the mix ...I just insert it at the final stage of mixing.
Great plugin
Master bus compression was what the original analog unit that The Glue is based on was designed for, but I also love using it on direct channels of material with dynamics to be tamed, or sub mix buses as well, just give it a go and see how you like it!

It was when i set it to realtime 2x oversample and tried to "save as default settings", studio one crashed immediately.

Hi ttoz. Sorry I missed this somehow. I usually get emails when people post to this thread, but I managed to miss your post. As Mercado_Negro has already said, it is a good idea to email support as I will see that immediately, and add it to my issue system. I've currently on v1.5.2.12713 of Studio One, and on Logic v9.1.3 (1697.87), in which oversampling and saving default settings works perfectly.
ttoz wrote:ahh doing the same with the AU also crashes logic instantly... so not an S1 problem...
my system info obviously in the pastebin.
It could still be a problem with S1 and Logic, I'll need to look into it further before I can let you know what is going on.
ttoz wrote:Andy frequents this thread, i have posted a crash error at pastebin.com and clearly outlined how easy it is to reproduce. I am not a customer (yet), and I am sure he will see my post. The value of posting such things up at forums is that other users can test for a similar issue. It's related to the plugins inbuilt browser and preference settings, as it seems once that is even initiated the instabilities occur. Remember i am talking about mac 32 bit.
Can you please email me the actual version numbers you are on with Logic and Studio One? Since updates happen quite frequently simply saying "latest version" doesn't narrow things down, as updates to software can often introduct bugs, which are then fixed in the next release. Also please email me the crash report as well and the if possible the other, very minimal, set of information listed on the web page? www.cytomic.com/contact

* Operating system and version (eg Win XP sp2 / Mac OS 10.5.6)
* CPU type (eg PPC or Intel Core 2 Duo)
* Host and version (eg Logic 8.0.2)
* The version and type of The Glue you are using (eg The Glue v1.0.13 Au). If you have a repeatable issue in using The Glue then please give a brief list of steps to reproduce the problem from a blank project with no other plugins but those that come with your host

If there is a crash due to using the preset menu, or preset browser dialog box it should be easily fixed by me updating to the most recent version of the gui framework I'm using to do this stuff, which is also used in many other plugins. Please rest assured that these issues do not exist in the versions of Studio One and Logic I have been testing with. As soon as I can reproduce the issue at my end I'll update you with more news, but since there can be quite a bit of too and fro with asking one or two liner questions, I have always found it best to conduct support via email, and report the results to threads like this, rather than bog down the thread with the details.

As for the crash, i disabled the codemeter service so it's not that. I just made a quick screen recording. Here's the link.



same procedure in studio one, but with the vst.
Ahhh. You are saving defaults with the trial version. This is probably a bug at my end in the trial version only, where since saving is prevented as one of the trial limitations which means saving defaults should also be prevented as it just won't work anyway! I'll grey that menu out for the next release, sorry about that! For now, please don't select "Save As Defaults...", not ideal I know, but this should prevent any trouble.

i did post a complete crash dump at pastebin.com


did you see the video?
the video outlined the exact steps needed.

I will email you in the future if a different problem occurs, but i don;t see any point this time as it's all here and you;ve read it.
As previously explained, the point with emailing full details is so I can have all the relevant information in one place and easily ask you further questions via email, and also as a bonus log these for future reference. It is not a matter of keeping these from the public eye, it is more they only bog down this thread with irrelevant detail. I am all for keeping issues in the public eye, and will post news summaries for those interested to keep everyone in the loop with what is going on.

Thanks also for posting a link to the video you uploaded. This reminded me visually you are using the trial version, which was very useful information - which would have been listed it you had included the full list of information that I suggest on the web page.

As stated in a previous post, the trial version does not allow saving of anything, so it is most likely my error since I left the "Save as defaults..." menu enabled in the trial version build. I will disable this menu in the next release, and that should fix the issue. The full version does allow saving, and will allow "Save as defaults..." without issue.

Thanks for taking the time to report the issue!
