With some files, the waveform never loads. I tried it on both Ableton and Logic and it worked ok with the same files. Seems to be a plugin integration issue with SO5

I've also tried vst3, vst and au versions of the plugins with the same result.

I also did a test on SO4 and it doesn't have this issue. So I'm pretty much sure is a SO5 bug.

I have the same problem with this plugin on vst and au version, did also test it in SO4 and there was no issue. In Cubase and Logic also no problems with the waveform calculation. So it really seems to be a specific SO5 issue. Would appreciate a quick fix...

Same here! Seems to be an issue with SO5.

yup, same problem. Also Studio One 5 seems to be crashing a ton when that plugin is loaded. I tested the same plugin with the same songs in SO4 and it worked perfectly. It also seemed to be reacting faster and lighter in general.

Yes same problem here, very annoying as I use this stage to do some crucial polishing which now I can't seem to do without the crashes and without being able to import new reference tracks due to the waveform not loading. Can we get a response on this one? It was submitted one month ago. Please.

Having the exact same issue, Ive had to resort back to using logic as a result. In general studio one 5 is super buggy, I left logic cause it wold crash a lot also, but SO5 is on another level of buggy

Same here on Catalina with a Mac Pro 6.1 and SO5.

Very frustrating.

Same here. Did not think of S1 being a possible cause, but never experienced this behaviour in v4 indeed.

Same here! It works as it should in V4 so its a V5 issue, that's not fixed with 5.1 unforutately. It would be great to get a response from Presonus on this, I use that plug-in on every mix. I'll stick on V4 meanwhile but I really want to start using V5 on a regular basis!

I'm on Mac OS Mojave10.14.6

Same here and in the middle of a mastering project, completely ruined my workflow and valuable time. als adding UAD (mainly) plugins to the chain will make SO5 crash with VST or AU. Only ProQ is able to load without issues. Big headache

FIX ANSWER: I had the same problem and here is how I fixed it. I'm on Mac Mojave Studio One Pro 5

  • Close all programs. 
  • Go to your plugin Alliance plugin Manager and download the latest version (currently 1.3)...install.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Open studio one and open ADPTR MetricAB (I use AU version) ... click on ADPTR logo below A/B button and confirm you have version 1.3
  • Load audio samples. 
  • Waveforms should now show.

Similar here. Waveforms load correctly, but the plugin behaves strangely and sometimes freezes when moved around. Almost unusable that way. Hope Presonus is able to fix this (and other issues with 3rd party plugins running on Version 5 as well).

Hi, I've tried the solutions offered here and no joy. I've often had problems with combining PA plugins and Studio One and have had to hunt around for solutions. I've hit a brick wall with this one. Any ideas appreciated.

BTW... a year into my S1 Sphere experience - I think it's absolutely incredible smiley
