Does reaper keep an error log?

MFarmer · 01-18-2011, 09:03 AM

I am having trouble with BFD2 In Reaper 3.74 Using latest version of BFD2, Windows 7.

The application will load, but when I try to load a drumkit, the screen goes white, and in a few seconds I get an message that Reaper has stopped working. Fxpansion ask me to send the the error logs in BFD, but the files they are asking for do not exist, neither in the locations they specified, or anywhere else. So I am thinking that the crash is happening before those log files can be created, or BFD is not really crashing at all- just Reaper. I also tried this with Reaper 3.73 and even with one of the Alpha's of 4.0 Is there any kind of error log file in Reaper?

I have seen posts that seem to indicate that other people are successfully using BFD2 in Reaper, so I am hopeful a solution can be found.

REAPER doesn't, but Windows does: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=36653 (Please check the bit about crashes and Event Viewer)

Edit: http://www.fxpansion.com/forum/viewt...dbde2489c0ba84 <- is this related?

Thanks for that Ollie.

Sorry, Ollie I didnt read your post all the way through. It is not related. When I try to load a kit, I get a "Reaper has stopped responding" error message. I can load the kits in standalone mode, and in Sonar 8.0 and X1.
I just discovered that I can load the kit pieces individually as a plugin in Reaper, but didn't have time to test it to see how it would hold up.

Any help greatly appreciated

Problem solved. Turn off "Load samples into memory," then back on again. Now the drumkits load.

Sounds like a memory problem. To diagnose further, can you post the answers:

How much RAM is installed?

How much is Reaper using (before BFD is loaded)?
How much is Reaper using (after BFD is loaded)?
How much is Reaper using (after BFD and the drumkit are loaded)?

How much is X1 using (before BFD is loaded)?
How much is X1 using (after BFD is loaded)?
How much is X1 using (after BFD and the drumkit are loaded)?
