It would be imperative for Softube to work on this or give indications about known bugs with the ProChannel versions of their plugins.In 2013, Steinberg announced that they would no longer support the software development kit (SDK) for the VST2 plug-in format, but the SDK itself would still be available as a subset of the VST3 SDK. On the picture below I inserted 6 various plugins on 64 tracks without any kind of problem Moreover, I found a stability with Cakewalk (Bandlab) that I hadn't known for a long time. Now everything works perfectly, I have access to the saved settings and presets. I do not touch in any way the normal installation of Softube plugins which can be found in the following folder C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Softube. The only way I found to retrieve my projects with Softube ProChannel plugins was to unzip an old 64-bit version of the Softube installer (2.2.79) I found on my server to extract the faulty plugins and copy them to the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal folder. It bypasses the ProChannel version of the plugin, but if I use the standard vst version, I end up with version 2.4.96.

The current version used by Cakewalk of Saturation Knob (64 bits) is 2.2.84. All other plugins made by Softube, are installed in the standard Vstplugins folders, even for the ProChannel versions of Active Equalizer, FET Compressor, Focusing Equalizer, Passive Equalizer, TSAR-1R Reverb. To my knowledge, I have never seen any Softube plugins other than Saturation Knob installed in this folder. All the ProChannel plugins installed in this folder and recognized by Cakewalk will bypass the more recent versions installed elsewhere, such as in the Vstplugins folder.

I wondered how the Saturation Knob plugin (64-bit) in ProChannel mode, which is in the standard Cakewalk installation, didn't crash the system, even though I'm installing the Softube plugin series from version 2.4.96, of which Saturation Knob is a part.Ĭakewalk installs in a particular folder all the plugins that will be recognized in ProChannel mode whose path is the following one: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal. This in itself is not a problem for projects that have used the standard versions of the plugins, but highly catastrophic when trying to open projects in which the plugins have been used in ProChannel mode. It is mandatory to use the plugins in standard vst mode (vst2 or vst3) to be able to use them. But since version 2.4.xx and subsequent versions, the problems have worsened, becoming completely inoperative with version 2.4.96. I already noticed that since versions 2.3.xx occasional instabilities appeared. They literally crash the system and we are forced to reboot the computer, regardless of the sound card used (Apollo UAD, Focusrite Clarett, Tascam, Roland V-Studio 700). In addition, all projects that were created with earlier versions of Softube (which worked relatively well) can no longer be opened. the 64-bit versions of Active Equalizer, FET Compressor, Focusing Equalizer, Passive Equalizer, TSAR-1R Reverb. Version 2.4.96 is totally incompatible with the ProChannel version of Cakewalk, i.e. Here is the message I sent to David Gustafsson from Softube.Īfter several hours of investigations on the compatibility of the latest versions of softube plugins in ProChannel mode in Cakewalk here are my conclusions: I reported this to Softube who say in their initial response.

It maybe the particular service person at Softube was unaware of the link between Sonar and Cakewalk?īasically since the most recent Softube update prochannel modules are not functioning correctly and attempting to open a project with them in will cause Cakewalk to crash to the desktop. Also I would tend to use the VST versions in the FX bin until some clarification or solution is found.ĭo Softube support Cakewalk by Bandlab particularly with regard to Prochannel? Their list mentions Sonar but scook says the problem also occurs in Platinum.

I have now contacted Cakewalk support with a crash dump in case they can help.įor the time being I would recommend against updating Softube products if yo use them in the Pro Channel. We cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems. Softube plugins are not tested in the non-listed systems, but they most likely work as long as the system requirements are met. In theory, any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs - and our own rigorous testing standards - we only officially test our plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Live, Studio One, Digital Performer, Reaper and Sonar.
