Reaper Project Crashed All Vst Plugins Not Working

Posted on by
I felt like making this thread because, for the longest time, I've been trying to use the REAPER ReaFir VST 2.x Plugin w/ OBS, but no matter what I would do, OBS would crash.
I was using it because I wanted to remove a faint hissing generated solely by my N64's audio output. I tried remedying this by applying the VST plugin directly to the capture source within OBS..and this is where the problem lies.
For whatever reason, when you attempt to apply any of the REAPER plugins, or possibly any VST plugin directly to a source within OBS, such as a GV-USB2 capture card in my case, OBS will crash, and then typically refuse to load until you uninstall the REAPER plugins.
Here's my ghetto solution for now. Because AmaREC, an external capture program tends to distort my capture card's image, I don't use it for the capture card's video. OBS handles the video feed like a champion already. But I do use it to grab my capture card's audio, and feed it through 'Virtual Audio Cable'. Then, I use 'Audio Output Capture' within OBS, and capture the virtual audio cable from there. You CAN apply the VST FX to that without OBS crashing.
I feel like this could be fixed within OBS if VST 2.x plugin's didn't apply their FX directly to the capture feed, but instead the capture feed output it's signal in such a way where there's a layer in between, and the FX got applied to that layer (Much like how I'm doing now with Virtual Audio Cable). I hope this makes sense. It'd be nice to see these VST plugins work within OBS when applied directly to a capture card.

VST plug-ins might stop working when the stand-alone application of the plug-in gets moved, renamed or uninstalled. It's recommended to always install the VST file directly to the correct destination folder, rather than manually moving the DLL file afterwards. Use Admin rights (Windows only) Certain plug-ins require Live to run with admin. When I try to remove highlife reaper crashes. So all I can do is freeze the vst or manually edit the reaper project file and delete the reference there (not elegant but it works) EDIT In v2.4pre5 (actually I think all 2.4 pre releases) this has been fixed.

Free Plugins For Reaper

Absolutely fantastic plugin. I use this no practically every project i work on. Its a very transparent EQ that easily ranks among the best of this type of EQ. I've not found another EQ that allows the same level of versatility.You can add additional bands as required too allowing for very complex surgically precise edits.

Reaper Project Crashed All Vst Plugins Not Working Windows 10

Reaper project crashed all vst plugins not working remotely

With 'crash' i mean that as soon as i start reaper with the maschine plugin in the background, i have about 5-10 seconds before reaper freezes and needs to be forced to close from windows. Funny thing is that the maschine controller is still on after that. Nothing relevant in the event viewer after that. This option is called ‘ Bypass audio while opening plug-in config window ‘ in the Plug-insVST settings. The good news is REAPER doesn’t crash anymore, the downside is playback glitches momentarily when inserting a plugin or opening the UI (which is the reason I disabled it before). 5 best free piano vst. If REAPER is crashing. Fixed: Sometimes crashed if multiple instances open in same project. Fixed: Info panel background flickering when updating text. Various minor fixes. Fixed some issues with hiDPI support. Fixed: Preview Chord feature did not work in Reaper. Fixed: Sometimes the preset panel closed when dragging the preset list scollbar with the mouse.
