I posted this problem originally in the VSTi section because the problem was originally limited to the onboard N4 instruments ( See VSTi's showing up WITHOUT SOUNDS or menus! - Virtual Effects and Add-ons - Steinberg Forums ). But now, I’ve noticed that the problem has also expanded to all of th VST3 FX, EQ & Dynamic plugins.
I open Halion and there are no instruments to select from. In fact there is nothing but the empty columns of the menu where all the instrument catagories should be. Same thing with Studio EQ or Stereo Delay. I open the plug, go to the menu to select a pre-set and it’s empty. I close the project and re-start it; no change. If I shut Nuendo down and re-start it from scratch, the plugs return to normal. I do not have this problem with my Universal Audio, Voxengo, Isotope or even any of my VST2 plugs from N3 or earlier, JUST THE VST3 PLUGS & INSTRUMENTS.
I’m still trying to determine if this happens only when I open a project from the project shortcut, which opens N4 or if it’s still there if I open N4 first and then open the project. There had bee a bug where Nuendo would crash altogether when you tried opening from the project short cut, giving you a C++ error reading before locking up. So, I don’t know if it’s a leftover from that issue. What I do know is that this is very annoying.
Has anyone else had this issue? Can anyone help me with this? Any constructive information regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
