Art-Net stop when the plugin is hided on Ableton Live

Post by HellishVictor »

Well, here I'm using the DMXIS VST inside of Ableton Live 10 and just want to comment that I have noticed that while the plugin is showing, it output the Artnet without problem, but when the VST is hided, the oscilators stops to work. After of done some testing, I can say it only happen with Live.

Perhaps Ableton is suspending the plug-in processing because it detects silence at the input. Do you have DMXIS patched in a return track, which is not receiving any audio?

Is in a midi track, it does not receive audio from nowhere, only the incoming midi for DMXIS.

The DMXIS VST is an audio plug-in, it needs an audio feed to work correctly. (The audio is used to accurately sync the DMX engine with the host audio)

Just move DMXIS into the Master rack, and route your MIDI to DMXIS using the "MIDI To" track menu.
