Here it is - nothing to get too excited about but free is free 🙂

I have most of my VST 2s on my data drive without a problem though some - such as Air Xpand 2 -  would only work on the system drive

As mentioned above you only need one master folder for your VST2 's but do keep 32 bit VST' s in a separate subfolder from 64 bit ones

Tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge - stuck in all of them!

It took me several attempts to get it to work in Chrome. 

Yep it is a really irritating feature of IK's software - same in TR5

Cakewalk is an excellent DAW and if you choose to use it you will find the people here very helpful indeed. Good luck!

Please give us a screen shot of your scan settings, or write out all the folders. It is probably set to scan your entire hard drive or drives.

Also, the 2nd item in the dialog is Scan Options. It is probably on Scan at Startup. If set to Automatic then it keeps an eye on the folders and if anything changes it scans.

Another point is that there must never be anything except VSTs in the folders that you scan.

This is what my scan paths looks like.

 

 

 

Interesting in what you say about Scan at Start Up or Automatic scanning. I just checked mine as it always scans on startup but it is set to Automatic? Not really an issue as it only takes a minute or so - perhaps the scan it is doing is the automatic one just checking nothing has changed?

Please ignore my last comment - Amplitude 4 seems to be working fine in CbB now - in fact it may have been the standalone version that I got the feedback in - possibly as I had nothing connected?

Thanks for this - I've never been able to use Amplitude as I just get feedback whenever I insert it into a track in CbB - any ideas as I got the Amplitude 4 as part of the Total Max Package earlier this year?

Nice synth - a good one to get to qualify for the Reason Rack!

Wow that's a good deal!

Didn't we get this free recently with some Plugin Boutique purchase? Do I not already have this? Who here is keeping track of what I have and don't have? Not I apparently 

Yep. I got it that way. Having problems with the Iris 2 new update in CbB but works ok in other DAWs and some people have no problems in Cakewalk so possibly something specific to my system

Sorry just realised I hadn't replied to this! Thanks for responding - glad it worked - as you say very strange indeed - as is the fact that Iris 2 works fine with Reason and Ableton Live 10 Lite! I've contacted iZotope and Bandlab support again to see if they can resolve the issue - it does seem that it works with some CbB installations but not mine!

Mike's videos are always excellent. I spend more time watching them than writing music! Good sense of fun too and very responsive in the chat. He runs occasional giveaways too.

This issue also occurred in CbB 2020.05 on my computer and that was regardless if I used the VST2 or VST3 version of iZotope Iris 2 (v 2.02.455 = latest). When reopening a project with Iris 2, a selected preset and some MIDI, Cakewalk crashed. However, both VST versions worked when I opened the same project in latest version of SONAR Platinum (23.10.0)! As far as I can see I have the same audio settings in CbB and SONAR. The only noticeable thing being different is ThreadSchedulingModel, but changing that in CbB didn’t help.

So using SONAR I tried to tweak the settings inside Iris 2 (the wrench in the upper left corner). And lo and behold, when I deactivated the flag “Clear selections on sample load” in Iris 2, I was able to load the project in CbB as well (both VST2 and VST3). Maybe @JoeGBradford or someone else having Iris 2 can verify this?

I was so optimistic but no luck I am afraid Canopus - even with that flag turned off neither projects with VST2 or 3 versions would open after being saved and closed in CbB

Checked whether Iris works ok in Reason and it does - I could save a project and reopen it. So both Reason and Ableton 10 Lite work ok just not CbB - well not for me anyway!  Very strange!

Oh thanks. Glad it's not just me. I'll try that later!

It seemed to install ok without any need to reauthorise - might be worth waiting to see if others have similar experience though!

Thanks very much Noel. Odd that it loads ok in Ableton Lite though?  I'll chase up with iZotope though

I'll also check it out in Reason

Appreciate the help 🙂

Thanks - Larry - I updated mine - interesting that it insisted on me uninstalling the existing one first. I checked out Loom, Vacuum Pro and Xpand while I was there but I appear to have the current versions already thankfully

Hi Noel - thanks again for your help - I now have the case number - 336268 - and your colleague Freed has responded asking me to try both the VST 2 version as well as the VST 3 - I've done this and the same crash occurs on startup

Re sample rates I have the default set at 44100 and never alter that in a project after opening so not sure that can be the issue? All I have done is open CbB, insert Iris 2, play a sound to check it is working, save, close and reload the project when it crashes. Interesting that scook has tried this and it works fine for him. It has opened a saved programme a couple of times for me but the vast majority of the time it crashes

Thanks very much Noel - I have an automatic acknowledgement but can't see a case number

Thanks very much Noel I will check that next time I'm on the PC. I've not knowingly changed sample rates but will investigate. I've sent the DMP file to support as advised above

Thanks very much for checking - I will!

Hi all

I installed the latest version of Iris 2 - which has previously worked fine. I tried opening an project with it in and CbB crashed on opening. I opened a new project and inserted an instance of Iris - all fine. Saved the project and tried to reopen - crashed again. I've been in touch with Izotope support who told me to reinstall in safe mode but that did not help. I've gone back to them asking for any further advice but then tried Iris in Ableton Live 10 Lite. No problems in that DAW so seems to be a Cakewalk / Iris interface issue. Any ideas? Anyone had the same problem? I'm running the latest version of CbB and Windows 10 1909

Thought I'd check here before raising a support ticket with Bandlab 

Ah - the Labs sounds are excellent!

Hey that's great - better than anything I have managed! Did you just use TTS or other sounds?
