#Slate virtual mix rack crashing daw audio update#
I think they're now supposed to be hosted by VMR (Virtual Mix Rack) but my head spins when I try to keep track of the constant incompatibilities introduced by each minor update to Slate Digital stuff, as well as the confusing but not-always-redundant overlaps in licensing and installation details. These are the ones called "FG-Red", "FG-Grey", etc. Sorry they've changed their packaging and branding so often, I can't keep track. But I did do some unrelated updates today (then repaired permissions).Īnyway, this ESR business is a first for me, and a quick Google search found nothing but false hits. And in fact, last night, none of these problems were happening. I used a Time Machine backup starting point that was far enough back to be confident that none of the problems I am seeing tonight were present.

I tried Migration Assistant tonight, but it appears to be no different in behavior than whatever Mac utility asserted itself last night after four failed attempts to boot the computer. I did have to use disc recovery mode last night as my attempt to create a bootable installer on an 8 GB USB thumb drive kept crashing, so I used Time Machine to essentially clone my about-to-die 120 GB SSD to my brand-new 480 GB PCIe SSD (pre-installing Yosemite was a no-go). I reinstalled FG-X 1.4.0 just now, as well as Finale 2014 update d, and the latest Studio One 3 update, and deleted a whole bunch of caches and preference files, to no avail.ĮDIT: I ORIGINALLY WROTE FG-X SUITE, BECAUSE THAT WAS HOW RX4 REPORTED THE ERROR! IT WAS VBC ALL ALONG, SO THE INSTALLER THAT I RAN COULDN'T HAVE HELPED.Īnyway, I have no idea what an ESR file is. The symptoms in DP 8 are mild compared to not being able to use some of my other apps due to them not even launching anymore. Finale 2014 won't start Studio One 3 won't launch RX 4 Advanced had to be launched a gazillion times to bootstrap it behind multiple crashes related to each plug-in in the VBC suite). This affects every audio program on my computer rather than just DP (e.g. No valid ESR file found in any of the known locations."
Every plug-in in the Slate Digital VBC (Virtual Bus Compressors) suite is suddenly (as of tonight) failing to load and throws up a message "Error: Missing Resource File.
