Scaler 3.2 plugin freezes, Studio One (latest version) - Windows 11

Strange behaviour using a bunch of Divisi tracks in one Scaler VST instance. Worked on a project for quite a few hours using a whole bunch of different VST (2 or 3 Ujam plugins, SoundPaint, RealGuitar plugin and a few others). I love the way Scaler is letting me compose using the Divisi feature BTW. I had not used Scaler much and this is getting me back into using the program. Anyways, all was fine last night. I closed S1 (Studio One) and worked on some other stuff. Today, I tried to open the project again but upon opening, Studio One just froze completely, unresponsive. Only way to close was task manager. I opened up other projects that didn’t have Scaler and they were fine. I tried multiple times but no luck in getting Studio One to work with this project. So I uninstalled Scaler, opened the project and of course Studio One opens this project fine but when clicking the track with Scaler vst on it, it of course says plugin not found (because it’s uninstalled). So I re-installed Scaler, added another vst track ok and opened up my preset I had saved on that track and it worked fine on this new track. I just deleted the track I was having the problem with and all is well now. Just reporting this in case anyone else comes across a similar issue. I reckon the original Studio One track it was on somehow got corrupted, I will check the log files to see what I can see there with Windbg. Probably just a one-of.

Now this is happening in another project I started this weekend. Same thing. Close the project. Reopen and everything is just freezing up. No way to get out of it. The Scaler 3.2 overlay comes up and that’s it. Boom. It’s done. No escape, no closing. Have to use task manager every time to just close Studio One. And this is only when working on an instrument track in Studio One with Scaler 3.2 instrument VST on that track and working on a composition, adding some vsts and tweaking a bit and at some point. It just does this. Hard to work on new stuff this way…

Anyways, not sure if it does the same in Standalone, I could give it try but I wanted to try & use my DAW to possibly expand on sound and capabilities at some point. I can offer some diagnostic files if it helps.

Ok, I tried opening Scaler 3.2 standalone but for some reason, it was stuck trying to open the prior project files I was working on with Studio One and even froze in Standalone mode. So, I have uninstalled it, removed all the Scaler 3 folders that were created (renamed my presets so I don’t lose my work) and reinstalled and rebooted and it seems to be opening up ok now. I put the preset folders back to where it was originally and even opened both of those projects and everything seems to working as it should in Standalone (for now). We shall see where this goes!

Sad face :frowning: , still crashing/freezing Studio One. Oh well, back to experimenting.

I’ve had a couple of corrupted projects but they are from earlier versions of S3. However, I still have some problems in Studio One with the plugin being blocklisted randomly, which I think is a timeout, and with one project where reloading it causes a crash to desktop when Studio One tries to load S3

So I’m almost exclusively running S3 as a standalone for now. I take the song so far then just drag all of the MIDI into Studio One.

It’s a bit annoying but I’m sure they’ll sort the problems eventually.

Yes, same here. I can still drop any tracks in an S1 project and continue on with that although it kind of takes away from being DAW integrated but for now, it’s all good.

I am having the same issue with Studio One exactly as you described it. I uninstalled, deleted pref files and tried again. It worked for a little while and then again froze the DAW. Had a busy week but might send a note to Customer Service.

Thanks @VocalMike, yes it’s quite annoying but just a bug of some sort, hopefully they can get to look at it at some point.

Wow - this is still going on? I haven’t had any issues here so far with v3.2 - however I have not really hit it hard yet.

What OS, version of S1 are you guys using?

S

The title says it all - 3.2. on Windows 11

What version of Studio One? And there are 15 different versions of Windows 11 out there…

S

The latest of everything. All up to date.

Not sure what to tell you. Same here and all working just fine.

Something is different - that is for certain.

I’m using the latest which is 7.2
