Hello, I've got a problem with IK Multimedia PlugIns T-Racks 3 Deluxe, Amplitube Free und T-Racks CS Free. I have worked with T-Racks 3 and Reaper without problems till last week. Now if I open a project with a T-Racks 3 PlugIn, reaper craches. The PlugIns now thowing error Messages after rescaning (see Images).

The Serial Number is a unique code used to identify each IK Product and for Registration purposes. Serial Number, Digital ID, Authorization Code.

Karburator k151s regulirovka. The standalone Version of T-Racks 3 works fine! So I want to try T-Racks CS. Installed and authorized this plugin.

Works fine standalone, but scaning the plugins in Reaper throws the same Errors as T-Racks 3 Deluxe. Same problem with Amplitube Free 3. All PlugIns are authorized fine, and the standalone versions work fine.

I am running Windows 8 32 Bit with Reaper 32 Bit Version and I have no Problems with IK Products till last week. Has anybody an idea, whats going wrong? I had the same thing happen with IK when I uninstalled 1 of the IK plugins, it also wiped out some necessary dll (sorry, I can't remember which.).

I contacted IK, who took a long time to respond. Find the Reaper forum member ObiK (Works for IK), maybe he can expidite things. The short answer though was I had to re-download all of the plugins that I wanted to keep, COMPLETELY uninstall the current ones, re-install and re-authorize. Yes, it was a PITA, but that was 6 months ago and I have not had another issue.

To be safe, I haven't installed any new IK plugins either. So they may have lost my future business. If you are not deep into projects that you need them on, I suggest removing them and find some non-IK alternatives.

You can live without TRacks, do some reading and practicing for the mastering. If you need/want a few of the plugins, buy singles if they still exist without the whole custom shop crap. I have all IK Software deinstalled. Than I have run Ccleaner and I reinstalled TRacks 3 Deluxe. Now I cannot start the Authorization-Manager anymore and the plugins don't work in Reaper and don't work in Acustica (only to check if it is a reaper problem; it isn't!). The Standalone application seams to work?

Now I'll try the IK support. Since you are on Windows 8, which has a slew of permissions requirements it seems, did you try installing under some compatibility settings? And did you uninstall and reinstall the authorization manager? Another thing to keep in mind is if you uninstall things, you should reboot before reinstalling.

But this is indeed a perplexing problem. I am assuming that there is a missing dll or registry entry somewhere. As it was working OK until last week, did anything special happen after which the T-RackS plug-ins stopped working correctly? And the IK Multimedia standalones still all work OK? Are you running Reaper 'as Administrator'? Hi, @Richie: I have deinstalled all IK Programs inclusive the authorization manager, run Ccleaner and reinstall T-Racks 3 and the authorization manager. I am do this as 'normal' user, not as administrator and without any compatibility settings.

It is indeed really strange. @Darkstar: I don't know it exactly because I havent used these plugins for 4 weeks (in January, I have used them at least), than, last week, I open an 'old' project and Reaper crashes the first time ever. I think I have installed the acrobat PDF reader and windows installed some updates in this time.

Thanks for your help! Best regards. Hi, @Richie: I have deinstalled all IK Programs inclusive the authorization manager, run Ccleaner and reinstall T-Racks 3 and the authorization manager.

I think what Darkstar is getting at, and what i would also start to question, is the idea that maybe some change in your system overall is the cause of this. It doesn't even need to be a change in anything related to Reaper or audio; any change can cause weirdness down the line, these are computers after all. Are your plugins installed in the default locations, normally somewhere on your OS hard-drive?
