Brian Walton Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Every time I try to load Supertone Clear in Sonar - Sonar freezes. The program loads fine on the same computer running CbB as well as other DAWs like Reaper. Trying to make the switch over to Sonar with CbB about to be sunset, but this is certainly going to be an issue. Anyone else have Supertone Clear (on the latest version, with success in the current Sonar build)? https://www.supertone.ai/en/clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaps Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Is Sonar freezing when you use Clear in both VST and VST3 formats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Walton Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 Sonar is also the only DAW giving me this: but not actual plugin name is referenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like something that's not a vst file is getting scanned. Make sure your scan paths are set to appropriate folders and not like an entire drive path. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried it out with Sonar free tier and it worked fine for me. No freezing on my system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty normal to me: (and I'm not seeing anything that isn't a VST3 or DLL in those folders for what it is worth) Edited July 10 by Brian Walton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done a rescan via the built in tool, but it continues to fail and throw this error (even after removing the steinberg path) I did not fine that file in any of the VST paths, but I'm also now searching the entire C drive to see if it shows up at all 1 hour ago, pedwal wally wally wha said: Does the Webview dll exist in any of the paths you shared above?

Xoo Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Suggestion. Remove all the VST paths (note them down first!) and reset. Do you get the error? Add one back in and rescan? Do you get the error? Repeat until the error comes up. Then look in that folder and its subfolders for anything that looks "odd". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deleted all the files related to that. Reset the scan again but Sonar scans a bunch of plugins but then gets stuck on some random VST3 First it was AAS Lounge Lizard Session Now it is stuck on DAWsome LOVE I manually force the rescan failed plugins multiple times. Supertone Clear doesn't say it failed at any stage but still crashes Sonar. Other plugins seem fine so far and CbB still works with Supertone Clear, but Sonar does not.
