Hello @squadgazzz,

Can you go in the audio unit settings of Audirvāna Studio and enable the option to use the new Audio Unit API ?

Can’t find it. Could you please attach a screenshot?

Thanks. Didn’t work.
I’ve also tried to enable ‘Realtime control’ and now the studio doesn’t crash, but I have an error ‘stopping playback’

Can you try with the Effect - Waves GEQ Classic (s) ?

Yeah, surprisingly, it works whatever old/new api :grinning:

There is something with the mono version that is crashing Audirvāna Studio. I will take a look at it with Damien.

Thanks a lot!

What we have done is when there are some plugin with this mono issue, we do not display them in the list.
