MusicLab RealGuitar 2.3L and DP 8.0.4?

[Babz]

Is anyone out there using RealGuitar 2 with DP 8?

Back in April, when I was first setting up my new computer, I installed RealGuitar 2.3L and tested it and it was working. Now I need to use it on a project and I got this error message when I tried to instantiate it in DP:

Digital Performer has encountered an error.
Mas,0 error reported by Mas Audio Unit Support

Failure: Base::New 160-10847 [-10847]

Thinking a DP upgrade in the intervening months may have broken it, I tried earlier version of DP (8.03, 8.02, etc.), but same error.

Then I thought, maybe I could get the VST version to work, but I'm not sure how to do this.

I disabled the AU version in Preferences->Audio Plug-ins.
I checked in HD->Library-Audio-Plugins, and I see 3 different VST versions of RealGuitar2 in there.

In the VST folder there is:

RealGuitar.vst
RealGuitar2.vst

Then in the VST2 folder there is:

RealGuitar.vst3

But I can't DP to see or load any of these. How do I do that? Which of these 3 versions is the 64-bit one? Does DP support VST3?

I tried to re-enable the AU version and now it won't pass examination.

Can anyone help?

Quick solution may be to upgrade to RealGuitar 3, but that is a PAID upgrade, and I fear I'll spend money and then still have the same problem. Does anyone have RG 3 working w/ DP 8.0.4?

Got a huge impending deadline, and I'm running into all sorts of problems like this. Fun.

Thanks!

Also, FYI, I'm running 64-bit (and RealGuitar 2.3L supports 64-bit.)

Without Googling, etc., what happens if you boot up DP in 32 bit?

Is RG available then?

I did do the upgrade recently and I think it was because that was the 64 bit compatible version.

Not sure, though!

RealGuitar 3 is working fine for me in DP 8.04 - I think did upgrade to get the 64 bit version as RG 2 was 32 bit. I'm pretty sure that RG is VST3, so only the AU version is supported in DP.

Acc. to MusicLab website, RealGuitar 2.3 is 64-bit, and I had it working under 64-bit DP a few months ago.

See: http://www.musiclab.com/products/realgu ... rsion.html

"Version 2.3

64-bit standalone and VSTi support on Windows
64-bit AudioUnit and Cocoa UI support on Mac OS X"

Main things I've changed since it was working are upgrading DP and installing JBridgeM (which I'm only using for two 32-bit NI instruments, B4 and Pro-53). Maybe I should consider uninstalling JBridgeM. I like B4, but I kinda don't trust JBridgeM. I sort of suspect that it has been the source of other instability I've been having (crashes when cancelling instantiating a VI, for instance).

Nice to hear someone has v. 3 working w/ DP 8.0.4.... I may have to just pay for the upgrade.

Best,

Well, at this point, fuggit. I just went ahead and paid for the v3 upgrade. Got it installed and running now. Money is tight right now, time is even more valuable!

Thanks all!
