Waveform Problem Plugins

[gtomorrow]

Sorry for the late reply...Homo semper aliud, Fortuna aliud cogitat.

Are you running it sandoxed? I saw on a vide that it needed to be sandboxed in Waveform.

Yes, I was. I tried switching off sandboxing and saving the project but no joy. The plugin always loads empty, no .sfz file.

I'm running 11.5.17 Pro on Windows and I'm not having that problem. I loaded the VST2 and the VST3 versions of sforzando into an edit and they re-load with the instruments just fine.

sforzando 1.969
...

I'm running the same version of Sforzando but on macOS 10.13.6. I just updated to Waveform 11.5.18 but still no difference.

In any case, thanks to both of you for your input.

Hi
On Waveform 11.5.17 (and 11.5.18) - Linux VST3 U-He plugins have visual issues - right and bottom part of the window is black:

I tested:
- Podolski
- Tripple Cheese (new version with new UI)
- Zebra 2 Demo

Hi,

I'm having the same display issue, except with Collective (see attached). DPI Awareness is enabled though I don't know how to change the zoom within a specific plug in. This is my first day using Waveform so I'm unfamiliar with most of the terminology and functionality. The display issue means I cant use Collective currently.

latest version of NI Massive X (1.3.3) also does not draw correctly. the same thing where a tiny UI is drawn in the corner of a larger black frame. controls are messed up as a result. unuseable.

Hello,
lastest version of Plugin Alliance DS Thorn VST3 (1.3.0) systematically freezes Waveform when trying to open GUI...
VST2 works.

Isn't the graphics issue a problem with JUCE, and not Waveform?

[JamminFool]

maybe, but they all work great in every other DAW, so that argument only goes so far.

Here is Waldorf D-Pole (VST2) first without DPI Enabled:

Now here is Waldorf D-Pole (VST2) with DPI Enabled:

Additionally, the VST3 version looks the same as the VST2 version when DPI is not Enabled, but does draw correctly when DPI is Enabled.

I stopped using VST3 and have only used VST2 for quite a while now with very few issues.
The general word on the street is that VST3 is problematic in many DAWs, not just Waveform.
If you have the option I would avoid VST3.

Unfortunately, out of 4 DAWS I use regularly, only Waveform still has problems with VST3...

Softube still won't load correctly in WPro 11.5.18...

Having issues here too with plugin gui's not displaying correctly with "awareness on and off". I use mainly Waves or Slate plugins. Some display fine, maybe 40 out of 300. Been an issue for me for years, starting with Slate Trigger 2. Which I posted about way back at the beginning of this thread. I've tried different display resolutions, scaling, etc. to no avail. The plugins display are just as other users posted above. Too damn small to read, too damn big and display is garbled. Studio One and Reaper have zero issues, no matter what video scaling or resolution I throw at them !! I keep hoping each release will give us proper scaling, but alas

[ForrestH]

Although other people seem to have it working, I get no visible UI for the Linux VST2 version of libNilsK1v (it works in qtractor), and the VST3 is scan-rejected.

I have broken UI with rpm build and working with deb.
VST3 version is not properly bundled (in terms of JUCE). If you make this dir with libNilsK1vVST3.vst3 renamed to NilsK1vVST3.so :

Code: Select all

.vst3/NilsK1vVST3.vst3> tree
.
└── Contents
    └── x86_64-linux
        └── NilsK1vVST3.so

it tries to load but crashes for me

Seems that when Waves V13 plugins are installed, trying to scan for new plugins in Waveform results in it locking up?

This is with Waveform 11.5.18 under macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave).
