Question / Help OBS crashing when trying to use reaEQ VST

[hyponaut]

As soon as I select reaEQ from the drop down OBS crashes, don't know what to do

 

[hyponaut]

Is there another place I could get help?

 

[Narcogen]

A logfile would help.

Are you running a 32 bit OS?

Could this be caused by trying to run a 64 bit VST plugin on a 32 bit OBS executable?

 

[hyponaut]

i'm running 64 bit, is that not the right log file?

 

[Narcogen]

It's the crashlog, but it's not the OBS log, so I was just guessing that perhaps you were running the 32 bit executable by mistake and it crashed trying to load the 64 bit VST.

 

[hyponaut]

Ok well I don't have that log but this problem is easy enough to replicate since it happens every time

 

[Narcogen]

Perhaps try reinstalling OBS and/or the plugins? I just added the ReaPlugs package from their website and I can add the ReaEQ standalone plugin to an audio source without issue on Windows 10 and OBS 21.1.

You might also look at the KiloHearts 3 band EQ which I believe is also free. Perhaps that would work for you.

Installation path of the VST plugins are default or custom?

 

[Narcogen]

Default. I just ran the installer.

 

[hyponaut]

I've already re-installed both OBS and the plugins and it didn't help

 

[hyponaut]

Oh, I figured it out - I was using the plugins from my reaper install not the standalone. The standalone plugins work fine.

What do you mean by that, can you elaborate please? I have the same issue. Whenever I choose a reaper vst plugin in OBS studio (filters > VST-2.x-Plugin), obs crashes. Can't find a solution.

You have to download the standalone plugins (not the actual program) after you install the plugins everything will work fine
Here is the ling for the standalone plugins http://reaper.fm/reaplugs/reaplugs236_x64-install.exe
