All FabFiltes plugins (latest release) crash in WaveLab Pro 9.5.20.
Rescan on startup and the modify in startup.ini (adding command Check64bit_Vst3=0) we suggested here does not fix the issue.
Shift plug-in processing from 64 to 32bit : no results.
I tried reinstalling without result.
Win 8.1
WL Pro 9.5.20 (@64bit)
FabFilter total bundle (latest).
I don’t remember this for sure. I use Pro-Q 2 VST-3 in WaveLab often, and in the past have used Pro-L very often too inside the montage without crash. VST-3 of course.
I never use the global master section so I can’t speak about crashes specific to the global master section.
You do appear to be correct about the VST2 Justin, that probably is the cause here for dxmat. Using your suggestion to try the VST3 instead of the VST2 solved the problem for a user on the German forum:
I’m not sure this is the same problem as the sidechain VST2 problem from before, because that didn’t happen in the Master Section and it was only with the two VST2 sidechain capable plugins FabFilter had at the time. EQ and multiband I believe.
But I think you probably nailed it. Don’t know why it would change between Wavelab 9.5.15 and 9.5.20, but apparently it did for the other user (and possibly dxmat?)
Interesting. I have no idea either but it certainly sounded like the FabFilter VST2 issue. I actually hid all my VST2 FabFilter plugins awhile back so I can’t easily test this. Since I have all my VST3 FabFilter plugins properly appearing in WaveLab I’m afraid to change anything. I’ve had a few installs over years where WaveLab would only see the VST2 versions of FabFilter so I’m inclined to not alter my settings at this time to test something.
FabFiter VST2 and WaveLab just seem to not get along for whatever reason and should be avoided IMO.
I only have the Pro L2. It happens I just used it on a session last night. I only have the VST 3 version installed. It ran fine … completely uneventful.
FabFilter is known to be pretty responsive to user reported issues, you may want to make them aware of your findings on their forum: http://www.fabfilter.com/forum/
