I’m sure somebody else will step in but Studio Pass hasn’t been updated for many many (many!) years. (2015)…it barely works. I strongly suspect it needs V3 of vst connect.
If you google or search these forums I’m not sure anybody has had this working for many years - I don’t think you are doing anything wrong.
The IOS version of VST Performer is also broken but a fix for that is promised this month…(tick tick tick )
Managed to get an initial LAN connection with Performer and Connect Pro. No further testing there yet.
One initial observation
Discovered that performer app doesn’t handle plugin scans too well. I have some plugins which use an ILok dongle.
If the dongle not available the plugin scan won’t pass a failed plugin check, it just crashes and has to be restarted.
It does appear to restart scan from the plugin after the missing/crashed/failed plugin but really needs better handling to skip plugins.
hi david - I’d be really interested in your observations and experience. The learning curve is fairly steep…although it’s actually very simple an straightforward when you get your head around it.
Probably used the wrong term re crashed plugin as the plugin is not actually in use at the Performer plugin scan point. It was due to missing dongle basically unable to authenticate. I would have thought the scan coding could identify and simply mark and skip without crashing and restarting Performer. That said I suppose there’s not necessarily commonality across plugins in their authentication methods.
Regards the plugin blacklist, is this the same xml file Cubase processing uses?
Is there a list of vst Connect and Performer xml parameter files, their purpose and their default locations anywhere? This would be a boost for my own understanding of the program.
scan makes an entry before calling the plug, if the plug crashes, the entry remains and plug is not loaded anymore subsequently.
It’s not the same file as the Cubase file. On Windows it’s in C:\Users<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\VST Connect Performer_64.
“list of vst Connect and Performer xml parameter files”…what you mean?
