New Free Host by Modalics - Plugin Buddy

[innervisions]

Mine worked fine for 2 days. Then I loaded Halion Sonic and that worked initially. Fired up Cubase 13 on Windows 11 the following day and it crashed Cubase 13 and shut down. I got several notices from Cubase indicating severe problems (likely from each VST) before it crashed. Had no other option but to un-install it. CAN'T USE IT.

When you say it crashed, I'm guessing you mean it crashed the project it was loaded in. Is that correct?
Plugin Buddy is not running any code unless it's explicitly loaded into a project or running in standalone.

If there's a particular Cubase project that crashes, feel free to send it to us and we'll take a look! info@modalics.com

Sorry, should have been more specific. I meant to say that Plug-in Buddy crashed on start-up since it looked to VST3 folders (?) and it seemed to violate Cubase integrity.

OK that makes sense. However notice that Plugin Buddy never scans for plugins unless you hit 'rescan'. So usually if a project crashes on load that probably means we have a bug when loading that specific plugin - so a new project with Plugin Buddy hosting another plugin shouldn't do that.

(Also please let us know which plugin is it/send us a Cubase project so we can solve it)

This thing buggered up my Studio One installation, I now have duplicate plugins listed in Studio One's browser. Those with thumbnails no longer work. Just totally weird.

Woah, that sounds strange... I can't imagine why the two would be related. Plugin Buddy isn't changing the plugins folder or touching any files that S1 (or any DAW) is creating. Have you tried clearing the S1 plugin cache?

I tested it standalone, did a search for plugins vie my VST directory, the program crashed whilst doing that, I then loaded up Studio One and found it buggered things up. Uninstalled it and it's still buggered up. It's like a DAW virus

That sounds very strange as Plugin Buddy isn't touching any of the DAW files. It's of course theoretically possible that a certain plugin did something to the file system during scan but even that would be rather unlikely.

I would suggest to just clear the DAW caches and rescan the plugins from the DAW

Plugin Buddy itself also holds caches in:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Modalics\Plugin Buddy

Which you can erase if issues occur.

Trying to delete this duplicate message - not sure how to do that?

Well I managed to fix it by removing it (all) and doing a rescan a coupe of times and got my thumbnail pictured plugins working again. I'll be more cautious about what I install now I think.

Thanks.
