Hi Peter

Here is another bug:
I'm using Logic 9.1.8, Reaper 4.31 & Studio One V2 /2.5 / OSX10.6.8 and I'm missing the Deluxe Tilt plugin. The validation process was successful, the component file is in the correct folder, but the plugin isn't displayed in all three DAW's. (I've installed the Bundle and the Single plugin several times)
Thanks for completing the Bundle

Cheers!
Morpheus

Hi,

The same problem with v.3.0.1. Now Deluxe Tilt wasn't displayed in the Audio-Unit-Manager, altought the component file is in the component folder.
The VST version of Deluxe Tilt runs fine in Reaper and Studio One.
Thanks for bug fixing.

cheers

Hi guys,

The AU format is a real pain as most Apple stuff these days... Here's something you might want to try :

1- Go to Logic Menu and go to Preferences > Audio Unit Manager.
2- Click Reset & Rescan Selection.
3- If problems persist, Quit Logic.
4- Go to Macintosh HD/Users/'Your Account'/Library/Caches. In that folder, delete the file called "com.apple.audiounits.cache".
5- Restart Logic. It will re-scan all the available plug-ins, then the plug-in should now show up in the list

Be aware that delating the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" will rescan ALL of your AU plug-ins.

We'll work on fixing this issue if possible...

Thanks - Peter

Hello:

Just reporting back on 3.0.1 with respect to the bugs I reported.

I reported two classes of bug above:

1. (Minor) on a few plugins, using the left/right arrows to step through the presets did not work.
THIS IS FIXED.

2. (Major) on two plugins (Octoplexer, Psycho Ring), presets do not load. When selecting a factory preset, the settings all stay exactly the same.
THIS IS NOT FIXED. BUG STILL PERSISTS.

Hello Lights,

Thanks for the information, we will check this on Cubase on Windows 7 and pass on the details to our developers.
they have been pretty fast updating the versions so we hope we will have a fix real quick;

Keep the reports flowing in as it gets us all closer to having everything working for everyone on all the various platforms.

Best Regards,

Nick

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your workaround and the new 3.0.2 update and quick bug fixing. Now the Tilt EQ plugin appears and runs fine....but.....now I've lost the Talking Tone Plugin. It's exactly the same problem I've had with the Tilt EQ.
I hope it helps.

Hello Morpheus,

Thanks for your positive remarks.
Glad to hear the Tilt EQ is functioning for you, we will pass on the info about the Talking Tone to the developers so they can take a look into it. Strange that it was working and now it doesn't want to.

We will keep you informed about the progress on getting it back to normal.

Regards,

Nick

I found that if pro tools crashed while using any of the plug and mix plugins,
then the plugins used in that session will be permanently disabled. For example
as I had the reverb loaded into a session, pro tools crashed. After that I could
start any session and try to load the reverb plugin and it will always cause a
crash showing the .dll as the problem. I reinstalled pro tools and the plugin,
and also ran system maintenance tools to clear the registry. This did not fix
the problem. In order to fix the problem I installed a demo of another plug and
mix plugin and ran that in the session, then from the pro tools plugin window I
selected the reverb and somehow it worked again.I still can't load the reverb directly...
I have to select another plugin first, then load the reverb from the plugin window... Also
if the project is saved with the reverb it will crash on open.

Just thought you should
investigate. I am on Windows 7 64 bit AMD Athlon X2 Pro Tools 8.05 M-Powered
running RTAS.

It seems that it is actually only the reverb that is causing issues.

Any news on this yet?

Is this a bug?

Is this a bug?

Hello Erikuo,

Not really a bug, it depends on what signal is being fed to the plug-in.

If it is a mix that varies in its dynamics which most do then the output level will vary below the Maximum of the -0.3dB in the setting so the master could show a level inferior to that level.

It is a continuous signal such as a sine wave at -0.3dB then yes in theory it should match in the Master fader's output.

Then if there is a difference then either software could have a problem about how the levels are displayed.

Next point is that any plug-in or hard ware for that matter when engaged and not in bypass will be acting on the signal and modifying it and therefore potentially changing the overall output.

With almost everything we do to the audio path it is best to trust your ears, not the displays, when one hears distortion for example, it doesn't matter if a displays says it is not clipping, your ears are the ultimate judge.

Hope this helps.

Nick

I posted this on FaceBook before I found this forum. PLEASE HELP!

Hi, Not sure how to get help so I'll try here. I received my "free" plug for sharing your page, California Tone, and I've tried to install it, as well as a few others for demo, but I cannot find the California Tone in Pro Tools 10, and the others, like British Tone, give an error dialog when launching, "Couuld not find the PM-British Tone Presets directory." Any ideas?

I have Pro Tools 10, and am attempting to install the AAX version.

Thanks,

Rob
