sjoens Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) You're supposed to get a dropdown menu when right-clicking on a group of selected clips. Instead I get this?!: Click OK and the dropdown menu appears. Click Cancel and this window reappears 3 times before the dropdown menu appears. 1. I don't even have 32bit AD2 installed... so 2. How is this error being invoked? Edited August 23 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Looks like something is corrupt with your VST scan tree in the registry. I once had some plugin weirdness. (in my case, the scan button in preferences and the plugin layout manager was greyed out) Even going to Preferences - File - VST Settings and doing a RESET did not fix it. I ended up going to the registry and deleting the entire VST inventory. Then I did the RESET then scan to fix it. (I believe that rebuilds the VST inventory from scratch. That fixed it. First this I would try in you case is to go to Preferences - File - VST Settings and do a RESET then scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 (edited) I already did that for another issue so I will try your 1st idea. BTW, it also happens when right-clicking on an audio track FX bin to insert an FX. Do you remember the registry path for the VST inventory?

On my system: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory Obviously, export this key to a reg file before doing anything..... And remember, this might not even work for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 (edited) Thanks. I'll also check the registry for a 32 bit Addictive Drums entry. There shouldn't be one. UPDATE: Confirmed. No 32 bit AD2. Edited August 22 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 (edited) Reset Registry: 1. Deleted registry vst inventory 2. Reset plugins in Preferences 3. Scanned plugins (For years it has been normal behavior for it to scan the same plugins more than once) 4. Registry inventory is restored 5. Open CbB and create New Project and right-click the FX Bin 6. Right-click issue persists a. Why is it throwing a plugin error immediately when right-clicking FX Bin or audio clip? b. Why in the world is the error about a plugin that never existed on this system? The error only occurs the 1st time right-click is used this way in a project.

Maybe your default startup project template is corrupted. Have you tried New Project, but choose “No tracks or Buses”. The create an audio track and then right-click its FX. You might want to flick an email to support@Cakewalk.com. Be prepared for them to tell you to do a clean reinstall of Cakewalk.

sjoens Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 It started happening within the last few days and occurs in all projects old and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 (edited) So why don't I restore windows to an earlier date??? Sure enough, I reset it to 2 days ago and problem gone, so far... hopefully very far. Looking at the list of affected apps it was likely a Windows update or Native Access, which has a host of it's own issues not working. Thanks for helping out Promidi!

Glenn Stanton Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 i fixed several of my apps (not just my DAWs) because something in the last Windows update screwed up some runtimes - when my Sketchup Pro crashed, it launched a lookup for the error code and apparently was widespread enough that they had detailed steps on reinstalling the MS runtimes. after that, everything was stable again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 This seems to be an Addictive Drums issue. After reinstalling AD2, it no longer shows up in the Insert Audio FX menu (described here), but the warning above is back the 1st time right-click is used. So not FIXED.

I have had AD2 since it was released with Splat and have never had your issue here Are you using the latest version of the AD2 installer (which is 4.12)? I guess you would be because when you run an outdated XLN installer, it auto-updates itself (well it does on mine). I also used this opportunity to update AD2. I am going to assume that you have configured the correct paths for the VST3 and DLL file in the XLN installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 (edited) Reinstalling AD2 and removing a custom plugin layout that included the 32 bit AD2 fixed this and the other issues. Edited August 23 by sjoens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
