For some reason, WL7 seems to be generating ~300 console messages/second, whenever it’s running alongside PSP MasterQ, even just idling! The messages consist of this:

Over and over and over again, without pause. Now, it seems to be somewhat related to having an instance of PSP MasterQ inserted in a Clip processing slot of a montage. I can kill it by restarting, and rebuilding the montage without that plug, so we can nominally blame PSP, however that plug works great in soundBlade, Waveburner Pro, DSP Quattro, Logic, RX2 Advanced and Reaper, without the constant stream of errors.

What’s up with this? Rather than blaming PSP, it would be great to fix the problem so WL7 handles the same VSTs other mastering DAWs handle with no problems…

This is a diagnostic message that is issued each time a VST plugin requests something to WaveLab.
It’s a WaveLab mistake to have it active all time (no way to change this). But this won’t affect the program behaviour, so it’s not really a bug.
What is strange is that the PSP plugin calls WaveLab 300 times a second (not good for the performances).

Heh, no kidding. Crazy stuff! :wink:

I’m happy to forward this to PSP if you can tell me the relevant questions/items to report.

On your end, any chance you can turn off the reporting in 7.02 via a flag or something?

Thanks, Philippe.

This will change in next WaveLab version.
