When I ***** the VSTi it Freezes... Are you referring to this one.....? If so, yes I have it and I just tried it and it works fine for me. (win 7 64, latest Cakewalk version) Not sure exactly what it is that you are doing to the UI, but it looks like the forum software didn't like it either. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else is in your project? What other processes (background and foreground) do you have going on in your PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are you able to recover from the freeze, or does Cakewalk shut down ? FYI- great job on the screenshots. What is your midi buffer set at ? Edit- also something to keep in mind from Rolands website: This product cannot be used with a USB 3.0 port that is not compatible with USB 2.0 specification.

This problem will be somewhat worse if you enable multiprocessing in the audio engine. To minimize or eliminate these crackles, please be sure to keep your MIDI playback buffers at or above the default setting of 250 msec. I would set it to 500 instead of 250. (even try 750 if needed) But im not sure this is your issue. Are you using the 32 bit version of the VST 2 plug in Virtual Bassist ? And.. Are your VST's/Those Samples for Virtual Bassist on the same Hard drive as Cakewalk ? (On the C: Drive ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaharaChintha Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Hi Chuck E Baby and Thanks... Even in a new project without using any other plugin i cant use Virtual Bassist. Yes I am using 32 bit VST 2 Virtual Bassist. sample .dat file is in my d:/ Drive. I changed Playback midi buffer to 750 msec Still same.

I suspect your problem may lay between one of these two things. Virtual Bassist comes in a 64 bit version. I would use that one instead. If that doesn't help, I would check the D drive. Ive had similar issues keeping samples on a different HD. I've also had good results, but not always consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there ever was a 64 bit update for this unless you know differently for sure.The problem could be that the data file has been moved from the default location. The Virtual Guitarist program of the same era had an exe as part of the installer to set content location if moved from default, but I don't see that option for VB maybe because the data is only 500MB compared to about 7GB for VG ? Maybe try relocating the data file to default location and see if works then ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at Ujam Virtual Bassist specs. Sorry for any confusion. I do remember this plug in though, came out years ago. Like mid 2000's.

SaharaChintha Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 hi pwalpwal Tried as administrator, Still same result Copied the data file to C and tried too and the result is same... ;-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the exact file location you used? Mine is in Program Files/Steinberg/Vstplugins/Virtual Bassist/Virtual Bassist Content. If yours is the same is your e-licenser working ok? I think it should give an error message if it's not being recognised, but on the rare occasion that I have had one a reboot seemed to make it work again. If neither of those, then maybe worth trying a reinstall or could be that it's a win10 thing ? Can't help you with that I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 For what it's worth when old VST don't work I move on to something newer that does. A great Free Bass is Ample Lite -https://www.amplesound.net/en/download.asp Only bummer is it does not go lower than E. For those songs I have tweaked SI Bass. But sounds like it might work if you simply re install and leave the samples at default location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Is it a VST3? I've had trouble with AAS Chromaphone VST3 hanging Cakewalk, though others don't seem to have a problem with it, and other VST3s load fine for me. For Chromophone I have to use the VST2 version.
