Plug-in not turning on while audio is playing

Hard to come up with a title. This is another issue that happens sometimes, but way more often than the crashing issue I just posted about.

I have a bunch of plug-ins in my montage template that are deactivated (not bypassed, fully deactivated) to save resources and latency. When audio is playing, and I want to bring a plug-in in, activating it from the power button does not always work at first. One has to activate, deactivate and then activate again for the plug-in to start operating, while audio is playing.

Any thoughts on this?

Certain plugins use a vast amount of resources and need a long time to load. I don’t know if it’s your case. I just want to mention it.

I don’t think this is the case, as when a plug-in doesn’t start processing, I just quickly toggle it back off and on again, and it starts working instantly that way.

I think the bug is that when a plug-in is activated by right-clicking on it in the list to choose “Activate”, it won’t activate properly, but if the plug-in window is opened first and then the plug-in is activated from the power button in the plug-in window UI, then the plug-in will activate normally while audio is playing.

Thanks for your diagnosis. It was very useful for reproducing and fixing the problem (WaveLab 13.0.30)
