asked Dec 9, 2018 in Studio One 4 by patrick68 (150 points)
I am using Splice to download and try out plug-ins on Studio One 4 Pro. Every time i launch the program, on the messages menu it says "failed to launch plug-in scan process!" and therefore wont allow me to use plug-ins. I have changed the VST scan location and have reset the blacklist a few times but they have had no affect on the situation.

I am running the latest version of windows 10 on an rog gl502vm.

Any suggestions on how to fix the issue?

Same thing is happening to me today. I hit cancel to get around the plug-in scan lock up but none of my VST's show in mix chains. I have to finish a major project and my whole day has been wasted so far.

I have S1 Artist 4.5.1 and had been using the included add ons with no problem.

However, I recently tried the S1 Pro Demo, and since then I cannot use the included add-ons. I've reactivated the Artist version, but get a "Failed to Launch Plugin Scan Process." when starting up.
