Known Issues using Powered Plug-Ins with Steinberg

– In-place track processing with Powered Plug-Ins produces distortion if other Powered Plug-Ins are running in the session. Turn off all other Powered Plug-Ins when in-place processing a track.
– When inserted on a stereo track, RealVerb Pro will appear as a mono plug-in if the editor window is opened before the plug-in is enabled. This will not happen if the plug-in is turned on before opening the editor window.
– Control clicking on a knob will set it to a preset position that may not match the default setting.
– The program name for RealVerb Pro is not updated correctly when the preset is changed. When RealVerb Pro is used as a Send or Master effect, click on the program select list in the Send or Master Effects window, then re-select the program displayed (there is only one). The current preset name will be displayed.
– Working with multiple open projects that have a high number of Powered Plug-Ins can cause Nuendo to crash due to system overload (see below). We recommend closing and reopening Nuendo when switching projects.
– Because Nuendo does not release VST plug-ins when closing or changing sessions, Powered Plug-Ins can be left running with no other way to remove them. To remedy this, we recommend you quit and relaunch the application to change sessions.
– Sometimes when using a large number of Powered Plug-Ins, or when using over 90% of the UAD-1’s DSP power, the system can become temporarily overloaded, and a buzzy out-of-sync-buffer (async) distortion sound may be heard. To alleviate this, click the red Active Project Indicator button in the upper left corner of the Project window. This will resynchronize all your plug-ins and eliminate the distortion. If this does not work, try quitting and relaunching the session, or try using fewer Powered Plug-Ins.
– When bouncing tracks or performing final mixdown, we recommend using an ASIO buffer size of at least 512 samples for best performance. Buffer sizes smaller than 512 samples may produce async distortion during mixdown.
– ASIO buffer sizes larger than 2047 samples may cause unnecessary host loading. We recommend using ASIO buffer sizes between 64 and 1024 samples for best performance. The default buffer size in WaveLab is 16536 samples, so this should be reduced to the minimum before using Powered Plug-Ins.
– When using a lot of Powered Plug-Ins in a session, and an active Powered Plug-In is replaced with another Powered Plug-In, async distortion may be heard. To avoid this, set the existing plug-in to No Effect before selecting the new plug-in.
