Manda Audio

My DAW freezes for a while when I try to start the plugin.

For users of MAGIX Music Maker:

This problem was introduced with the 2024 Update of MAGIX Music Maker. As a workaround, until this problem is fixed by MAGIX or by us, keep using the previous version of MAGIX Music Maker, or install the VST2 - 32 bit (!) version of our drum plugin. This runs in an extra bridge container inside MAGIX Music Maker which doesn't seem to be affected by this new problem.

You can keep the VST3 version installed, but make sure that any other VST2 version of the plugin has been removed before installing the 32 bit one. The installation was successful if the following is being displayed in MAGIX Music Maker after restarting the program and rescanning the plugin folders: Screenshot

For users of all other DAWs:

This problem is known to occur on some Windows systems, if a certain option is enabled.

1) Close your DAW.

2) Go into the installation folder of your DAW, where you can find the .exe file of it. (For instance Cubase10.exe, reaper.exe, Studio One.exe, ...).

3) Right-click on the .exe file and select "Properties".

4) In the new properties window click on the tab "Compatibility"

5) Make sure that the "Compatibility mode" is unchecked.

6) Confirm by clicking OK and start your DAW and the plugin.
