I'm still going through all the various plug-ins to make sure they work okay in X2.

I thought I'd give R-MIX a go so I inserted an instance in the FX bin of my master channel.

I've seen a few videos of R-MIX working on youtube, and I've seen Brandon and Seth using it at the last webinar and I thought you would be able to see a lot of nice colours dancing around on the R-MIX screen in the middle of the plug-in window.

When I first insert the plug-in into the FX bin, the R-MIX interface opens and I am presented with a number of controls either side of a white screen. When I press play nothing happens. No pretty dancing colours, just that white screen.

I've checked to make sure that it isn't bypassed and that it is actually turned on.

I've also tried inserting it into the FX bin of an individual track and the same thing happens.

I've saved it in my current test project, closed the project and X2 down, and then re-opened it, but that didn't help.

Should I be using a particular preset? I've tried a couple anyway and still all I get is the white screen.

I don't recall seeing any errors while installing X2.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hmmm... I thought I'd see if R-MIX would work in X1. I opened an existing project that had not yet been opened in X2. When I tried to insert the R-MIX plug-in into the FX bin a message popped up telling me that this particular plug-in was only licensed to run in X2.

It then inserted it into the FX bin anyway and the interface even opened. The screen in the middle was black, not white like it is in X2. I started the song and I got all those nice pretty colours dancing across the screen. I tried one of the presets and I was able to use the level inside and level outside controls to effect parts of the song. I was able to locate, pretty much, a piano part and isolate it from the mix, so I think that demonstrates that R-MIX is working fine in X1.

I then went back into X2 to see if R-MIX would now, but unfortunately, it doesn't, and all I see is a white screen in the interface window.

Now that I've seen it working in X1 I am a little bit disappointed. I thought it wouldn't matter and that I probably wouldn't have used it anyway, but the more I think about it I think I need to get this fixed.

I'll have to log a call with Cakewalk...

I played with it and it did what it is supposed to do. I can't think of a reason why it wont work in your X2.

Give more information. Where did you insert it? Was it a track or a buss? Were there other FX in the FX bin?

Not sure what to suggest, it works here. I wonder if it's an install issue. Have you tried rescanning plugins with rescan existing plugs checked?

Thanks John, so it is working for someone then.

I wonder why it works in X1, when it isn't supposed to, but does not work in X2.

Just my luck, and I can't say I blame em, but it looks like all the Bakers have gone out for a well earned pint.

And on that note, I think I'll bugger off to bed meself... up early in the morning, and I like to relax with a good book before lights out.

I'll call back in here tomorrow.

cheers

One tip I read about was running X2 in admin mode... even tho I have a couple of projects that have crashed, most seem to work well and the plugs seem to work... but haven't gone thru all of them yet.  TH R-Mix is awesome... took a synth track and automated a rectangle sliding from top to bottom and back... nice effect.

Hi Karl,

No, I've not tried rescanning my plugs. I'll do that first and report back.

This may be a silly question but are you sure you aren't confusing X2 and X1? 
Do you have both versions open at the same time? If you don't get the license error then it should load and operate fine in X2.

R-Mix seems to be working as expected here.

Works for me....

However you do get the white screen of R-Mix on a frozen synth, its not frozen no?
