Just upgraded to Cubase 11 today, and then spent the day installing and authorising plugins. It seems that Cubase gets more and more temperamental with each upgrade. I have all kinds of random issues.
-
Several plugins get blacklisted because Cubase claims they’re 32 bit, despite the fact that they are in fact 64 bit, and were running fine in Cubase 9 (also 64 bit only) yesterday. One of these is a GRMTools plugin, installed a part of a bundle of 12 plugins, 11 of which run fine, but this one got picked out randomly, and told it was 32 bit.
-
Several more get blacklisted with the simple message ‘Not a valid plugin’ - again despite running fine in Cubase 9
-
One (Image-Line’s Vocodex) gets blacklisted because Cubase says it can’t find a specific file in Image Line’s common files folder. So I checked, and the file was exactly where it was looking for it. More to the point, another Image-Line plugin, which needed the same file is running.
-
Several plugins actually made it through the scan, but then crashed Cubase when I tried to open them. And when I say crashed, Cubase simply vanishes, without any kind of error message. Again, nothing seems to link these plugins. For instance one is Soundtoy’s ‘Little Alter Boy,’ although a whole bunch of Soundtoys stuff is running fine.
Is there a list of known plugin issues anywhere? And are there any workarounds?
