pavouk100Hi,
I’m experiencing strange problem with latest version of %subj%. It is free, can be downloaded from http://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads/. When inserted into some track into project, project starts to behave strangely – almost every GUI Podium action causes sound dropout during playback (incl. hide/show of any plugin or even changing track color in track inspector 😯 ). Starting/stopping playback sometimes causes Ferric UI to either appear or disappear (as if ‘E’ button is toggled), and very often Ferric’s parameters are reset to initial values (after start/stop playback, turn off/on project power, showing/hidin plug’s UI and other ‘innocent’ actions).
No other bootsy’s plugin exhibits this strange behavior (incl. previous Ferric version), but AFAIK no such strange behavior was reported in other hosts. So I’m not sure if it is Ferric or Podium problem…

SlomoA couple of hours ago Podium crashed when scanning Variety of Sound’s Density mkII v2.02 plugin. I recall having problems with these plugins before.

Yep, this is ‘known issue’ to me – all older bootsy’s plugins cause instability when using more than one instance of any of them (this includes scanning). I usually use only one of them for ‘mastering’ purposes. These kind of crashes also roughly match the instability of these plugins often reported by Cubase users, so I didn’t bother to report it here. But Ferric’s behavior described above is something really new and weird to me, that’s why I reported it.
ZynewaveI installed a bunch of Bootsie plugins a couple of months ago, and gradually almost every one of them has crashed at random during plugin scanning. Something scary is going on there. If the problem also exists for Cubase users, I’ll assume the Bootsie developer is aware of the problem and is trying to fix it.

Sure, these are ‘normal bootsie plugin crashes’. But this Ferric 1.5 is really new thing; simple scenario:
1. install ferric tds 1.5 on the track
2. make it visible (E), twist some knob in it
3. start playback
4. change color of the track clicking inspector’s color picker
results in: hiding plugin’s window at point 4 (ok, sometimes even at point 3), and also causes quite long audio dropout at point 4.
Seems so strangely tied to the host that it could be somehow interesting even for host developer.
ZynewaveOk, I downloaded and tested Ferric 1.5. I don’t get the weird GUI behaviour you described. Reading the user comments on the Ferric 1.5 blog page, I see there are new complaints about GUI problems using Cubase:

The problem could be related to the Windows GDIplus.dll you have on your system. Perhaps the new Ferric version requires a more recent GDIplus.dll version.
thcilnnahojI cannot reproduce it either on Vista SP2… will try on my XP SP3 machine later.
Edit: Hm, seems to work fine on XP as well. 😕
pavouk100The problems are reproducible for me on Win7 x64 machine, now I tried it also on XP, and it works normally here (should’ve tried it before posting 😳 ). So it might be caused by one of: too new(?) gdiplus.dll, Win7, 64bit OS, asio4all, core i7 CPU, or whatever else, or some combination of these factors .
Never mind, I can live with this. Thanks a lot for your effort 🙂
