P&m Plug-ins Bug Reports, Please report bugs or any kind of problems using DC V.I.P. Plug-ins Options

[Carl Kolchak]

Monster Boost causes severe comb filtering / phase cancellation when bypassed in Pro Tools.

If the plug-in is made innactive, there is no problem. Likewise if it is removed, but bypassing causes a severe phase misalignment.




1. PC

2. Windows 7 (Home Premium) service pack 1

3. Pro Tools 11.3.1 (with Plug & Mix VIP version 3.3)

4. External audio interface

5. No 3rd party software in use

6. Command 8 control surface in use

Getting this error in PT11.3.0 after upgrading to V3.3.0 from 3.1.0 of the VIP bundle.

"the following plug-ins were made inactive because of insufficient system resources". Then it lists all the plugins from the VIP bundle that I'm using in the session.

After opening the session, those plug-ins are deactivated, and when I try to reactivate, I get this error. aae error -7054

I really like these plug-ins, but have had so many issues with them...buggy. I don't see a way to go back to an older version, but I was just finishing up some mixes, and not really looking forward to the idea of having to redo them minus the P&M plugins that I used.

Hello sgaudio,

Thanks for your interest in DontCrack and Plug&Mix.

Some ProTools 11 owners have had problems linked to how OS 10 handles preferences and the overwriting of the older files.

It seems the old files have stayed in place and are blocking the new 3.3 files from being read by ProTools.

One client got it working by trashing his ProTools Preferences.

Try going to my App Support/Avid/Plug-ins folder and manually trashing the older PM plugins. The error caused by the fact that
both old version as separate PM-xxxxxx.aaxplugin and a new Plug and Mix folder that are conflicting.

Trash the Plug and Mix preferences as well.

Repair permissions using the Disk Utility app.

I looked up the AAE error -7054 and it has to do with ProTools seeing multiple folders of a manufacturer's plug-ins.

Try it and tell me if it gets you up and running again.

Best Regards,

Nick

[Notes]

Hi Nick,

I have been noticing crashes on some mixing sessions in PT 12 lately during the loading process of the sessions. After troubleshooting these mixes trough the process of elimination I noticed that when a session has 2 instances of the VIP bundle Tilt plug-in the session crashes once PT is at the point of creating the session overview. Also when starting a sessions in safe mode with all plug-ins inactive the session crashes once I enable the 2 tracks that has the Tilt plug-in on them. So I'm wondering if there are still any planned updates coming out for the VIP bundle? Thx

Hi Notes,

Can you kindly list us your full system specs; inc. PT revision and session settings. This will help us try to repro.

Do you have an open support ticket logged with our technical support team, and are you able to reproduce this in a stripped session with just Deluxe Tilt instantiated?

Best regards,

The problem I am having is when I insert one of the plug and mix plugs on a channel and adjust the parameters as needed and go to another channel the plugin (regardless of which plug & mix plug I use) resets itself to it's default mode. When I try to move the "knobs" again the just go back to zero. The last download I did of the plugin was on 12-16-15.


I am running Pro Tools 12.4 on a PC:

Windows 7 Home premium SP1
10g Ram
64 bit
AMD FX 6120 6 Core Processor 3.5ghz

Thank you,

Hey all,

Just got done installing the latest 3.3 VIP Bundle on my studio Mac Pro.

Everything runs great except for offline bouncing in Pro Tools HD 12.5.2 and 12.6.0. I have narrowed it down to being all the Plug and Mix plugins that I use on the sessions.

Removing all instances and then selecting offline bounce works as it should. Add any of the plugins back in, and it instantly crashes on offline bounce. They seem to work fine during realtime bounces, which is okay for smaller length things, but when working on something long it is really workflow hindering.

System:

Mac Pro 5,1
Mac Os 10.9.5
2x2.66 Ghz 6 core intel
Pro Tools HD 12.5.2, 12.6.0
AAX 64Bit

Under the sampling rate 176,400Hz or more,
VIP bundle Amp simulators don't work correctly.
Tested under some computers and platform.

When I updated the VIP bundle with the new version it broke Clarisonix (at least, I didn't check all plugs). I also had Liquid Air EQ and Electro Optical in the session, which worked great. The 5 new plugins weren't available for me to use even though I saw they were installed in the plugin folder on the hard drive.

Mac OS 10.8.4
PT HD Native 10 and 11, latest versions

Best regards

Yeah, why is the latest version the same number (3.3.0) as the previous version?

I just installed P+M 3.3.0 AAX. I get the following errors:


Clarisonix and Distorted are not valid 64 bit AAX plugins
