Hi! I've been experiencing an issue with Wall of Sound for half a year or so and hoped it would be fixed, but the problem is still there.
Please find the description below:
1) Open/create a project from scratch
2) Record any audio signal or put any audio file in the project, and insert Wall of Sound in the effects chain for this track
3) Try to render it in mp3 format
4) Try to render it for the second time, and it crashes
The issue is absent if the project doesn't contain the Wall of Sound plugin. Rendering in Wav files also work well.
I have recorded a video for you to demonstrate the issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bdnf8lpkmzkup42/WallOfSound-crashes-Reaper.mp4?dl=0
On the video, at first, I render a blank project 3 times in wav, then 3 times in mp3 to show that rendering by itself works well. Then I add WoS plugin and render into wav for 3 times, which also works well. Then I try to render it in mp3, and it crashes on the second time according to the algorithm described above. Then I restart Reaper and repeat rendering into mp3, to reproduce the issue, and it crashes on the second rendering as before.
Please note, that I reinstalled Windows, DAW, and all the plugins a month ago, and the issue existed before reinstallation and after. Also, as I mentioned, everything works fine if WoS is not in the project (I had projects which have a lot of plugins, and they never crashed until I add WoS there).
I use Reaper v5.86/x64, and the issue lasts since around version ~5.5. On the video, I used Wall Of Sound 4.2.6.0 VST plugin.
I also have just noticed that an update to 4.3.1 is available, installed fresh VST3 version and tested. The issue still exists, the update didn't help.
It also doesn't matter what cabs/mics I select in WoS, it crashes DAW with any selection.
Please help me to resolve this issue, as my productivity suffers a lot, as I can not use mp3 export at all.
Thanks!
