Out of place engine initialization failed [SOLVED]

I was working on a project successfully yesterday but when I try to open it today I get the following error message and Cakewalk shuts down.  I tried the REPAIR feature for Auto Tune Artest and it says it was successful however, I still get the same error and cannot open my project.

Auto Tune Artist.vst3: Start Error
Out of place engine initialization failed -> Application terminated!

FWIW I've never managed to get any Antares VST3's working properly in Cakewalk.  Using the VST2 instead is my workaround.

I use VST3's in Cakewalk all the time with no issue.  I've been using AutoTune Artist with no issues prior.  As mentioned, this was all working just fine until that message popped up out of the blue the other day.

With that said...it's all working back to normal now.  Have no idea what it was.

Glad you got it working.

VST3's working in Cakewalk doesn't mean all VST3's will work in Cakewalk. Acon Digital Multiply's most recent incarnation in its VST3 form results in horrible screeching coming from Cakewalk. The most recent VST2 version? Solid as Multiply has been for many years.

Acon VST3 is working fine for me. I wonder what is happening ...

No, you did not. I sometimes make my grand wise pronouncements for the "benefit" of lurkers.

Really. Maybe I should try it with the most recent builds of both Cakewalk and Multiply. But then I just got a bundle from Meldaproduction that includes MChorusMB, so....I'm beyond the sanity point of having too many FX that do the same thing.

I reported the issue to both BandLab and Acon, and neither seemed too interested in investigating it beyond "use the VST2 version, then, I suppose." Unless the day ever comes that a non-Waves plug-in has any features in VST3 form that it lacks in VST2 form, I'm fine with that workaround.

My guess is that VST3 plugins that are "flaky" in Cakewalk were probably never tested and refined in Cakewalk by their developers...

According to statements by developers that I've read, the VST3 "standard" is under-documented, so that leaves a bit of leeway in interpretation. Unless the plugin was actually tested and supported by them in Cakewalk, it can be hit or miss for the user by chance.
