  4. [SOLVED] MIR Issue with Reaper
  • M
    M

    There is indeed an issue that is caused by a strange initialization routine from Reaper. It first tries to initialize the plugins in an 8ch configuration, then switching to a stereo configuration. As Dietz mentioned, the MIR Pro plugin depends on having matching channel configurations for every plugin. We will investigate this behavior and see if anything can be done on our side.

    That matches up with what I was seeing. Unfortunately the only other program I still have that I can load MIR into is Vienna Ensemble so of course it works perfectly there! Anyway thanks for the help!

    I have added a workaround for hosts that "don't behave". The next version of MIR Pro has an added preference to allow forcing a specific channel configuration for the plugin. This makes the plugin operate as expected in Reaper.

    Wow, thank you so much for the assistance! No question about it, I'm definitely getting MIR now. Thanks again.

    The new release (12195) now includes the workaround I mentioned earlier.

    Sorry to be a bother--I just downloaded the newest version of MIR Pro 24 and I'm still having an issue.  I get that same "Plugin Disabled" screen, but when I toggle the GUI everything comes up working correctly.

    One other issue I'm having in Reaper is that loading about the second or third MIR instance into my project tends to crash Reaper.  It can load many instances, and it doesn't spike my CPU or RAM, it just occasionally crashes on loading the second or third instance.  This happens even when loading a saved project with several instances of MIR.  After a couple of tries it works again.

    Anyway none of this is a pressing issue, just wanted to see if it could be resolved or if there's something I'm doing wrong.  Thank you!

    I'm exploring the possibility of a background program causing the crashing in MIR Pro, because there may be a connection there.  I'm still experiencing the Reaper glitch causing me to need to disable and then re-enable MIR Pro.

    So far even with these little errors MIR is incredibly inspiring to me and I want to express my thanks for making such an incredible product that, coupled with VSL, makes for an unprecedented combination that I don't think anybody will be able to match for a long time.

    I've tried just about everything now, Vienna MIR just doesn't open correctly in Reaper, ever.  I've even tried running everything through Vienna Ensemble but the problem actually seems worse that way--I get a nasty error popup, then MIR twitches a couple of times, then comes up with an empty stage.  Vienna Ensemble, meanwhile, doesn't seem to realize MIR had any errors and looks as though everything is properly connected.

    Is any progress being made with any of these errors?  Or do you need any more information from me?  I'd love to be able to use MIR seamlessly!  Thanks.

    Have you used the workaround implemented specifically for hosts like Reaper, forcing the number of output channels?

    MIR Pro > Preferences > Plugin > Force Output Channels

    I didn't realize that's where that option was--thank you so much, I'll give that a try!

    Update: I've been playing around for a while now and everything works perfectly, as expected.  Thanks so much for your patience with me!  Hopefully you won't hear from me again soon.
