You will first need to determine which of these two types of plug-ins you have. SONAR supports both VST and Direct-X plug-ins. Since you are a developer you know that if there is global state shared and that state is modified unexpectedly it will affect all clients that use that state.My new plug-in(s) don’t show up in Cakewalk Last updated on Its less likely that different plugin types will share common state but its really up to the manufacturer to how they implement it so its not far fetched that if a channel strip stopped working an open bus compressor may have the same issue. With Waves you can have a single dll (the waves shell) hosting all their plugins. Yes VST plugins are nothing but dlls and individual instances live in the same dll. We are also in touch with their engineering so if there is any thing they need from us you can ask them to contact me.

In fact this is likely the root cause of the bug so you should pass on this information to SSL. Are they a bit like DLLs and share common resources?Ībsolutely! Its very common for plugins to share common state across all instances. I am a software developer but I have no experience in VSTs. Do different instances of a plugin share common code or memory that would explain that they would all stop working together? It would also mean that the two different plugin, channel strip, and bus compressor, would share common ressources. But the only thing that bothers me is that all instances stop working at the same time. I do agree that it does not seem to be Cakewalk related and I posted here mostly because this forum is so full of knowledgeable people. I am in contact with them and will post back results here from my inquiry when I get more feedback. Only they can help with this issue since it is unlikely to be related to Cakewalk. You should report this to the plugin vendor with any steps you remember and perhaps send them a project file for diagnosis.

If the plugin UI stops working after playing for some time it looks like an internal bug in the plugin (memory leak, or some overflow condition maybe). Boileau I doubt that its related to your install.
