Hi guys,
It's been a while since I've stopped by, things have been busy.
I think I have finally licked a nagging problem with my DX plug-ins being
marginally functional since upgrading my computer 2 years ago. Every time a
track started with a plug-in loaded it produced a nasty DC spike, and 2
plug-ins on one track would cause distortion. To add to the problem the
Waves VST plug-ins would never allow Paris to boot.
Thinking I'm the only one that's ever had this problem, I've been using
inconvenient workarounds, and starting to think this may be the end of the
road for me and Paris. I was talking with DJ about 6 months ago and he
suggested some kind of wrapper and said he would email it to me when he got
the chance. I've been checking my email everyday and starting to think he
may have forgotten.
Anyway, today a client left me waiting for yet to be delivered files, and I
needed to do something productive, so I started looking online for DX-VST
wrappers and came across a Steinberg blog with a fix for using DX plug-ins
with Cubase 4, which has abandoned DX. They recommended a free device from
VB audio called the FFX-4.
After a quick and painless installation of the FFX-4, I then disabled my DX
plug-ins in Paris, and moved the FFX-4 .dll file to the Paris VST folder.
So far this thing works great, not only has it solved all the plug-in audio
problems, but it allows me to keep all the plug-in windows open, which I
don't remember being able to do before. Next I'm going to do some latency
testing.
Hey DJ, if you are reading this, you can check the "send Richard the VST
wrapper" item off your to-do list, I don't need it anymore, but thanks for
pointing me in the right direction.
Richard Zeier

Yep, same with me - except in my case it wsn't all DX plugs it
was just a couple of the Waves ones.
Insert silence & automate mutes so that the "pop" would occur
before the actual music part came in & would be where the muted
part was.
