Default UAD satellite (thundebolt) frequently freezes Reaper or vice versa

UAD satellite OCTO (thundebolt) frequently freezes Reaper (or vice versa ).
When i work with UAD plug-ins on reaper projects it freezes frequently a lot!
Even when rendering projects! And there is no way to render longer song ( about 3-4 minutes ) without freez.
Mac OS mouse symbol Rainbow is continuously rotating all the time.
And the only way to exit reaper is to force shut down reaper in mac dock.

But when i bypass all of UAD plugins reaper works without any freezes.

And i tried to disable Antivipative FX processing in Reaper's preferences.
When i did so reaper cannot play any audio at all. So it cannot be deactivated.

I'm on MacPRO 2016; latest OS version - El Capitan v 10.11.6; latest reaper, latest UAD software.

Any thoughts?

And sorry for my English.

Have you ever had Protools installed?

That eliminates one cause of trouble.

I'm out. Too little experience with that Mac and I've never had to troubleshoot this UAD.

Defective Thunderbolt cable?

Another VST capable DAW on hands to try? Another Mac nearby?

First, did you try to disable "extra buffering" in the UAD Meter & Control Panel software ? (It's in the "Configuration" pane of that software).
Or, if it was already disabled, enable it and see what happens in Reaper ?

Furthermore, would be indeed handy if you have acces to another DAW and check UAD plugins in that DAW.
If your problem presists in that other DAW, than we can rule out Reaper as the the problem.
Your problem has to be solved on a step by step basis.
So would be nice if you can rule out Reaper as the cause, first thing on the checklist.
Maybe try Adobe Audition as test daw ? You can demo Audtion for a 30 day free period i believe.

Yes, of course i tried to disable Extra buffenring in the UAD control panel and anable it again.
No changes. Same results.
I have copy of Cubase PRO, so I'l try to work in it.

This may actually be a bug on our side, specifically with regard to the latest version of the UAD driver. We're looking into it, but if it is, we should be able to fix this for the next REAPER release.

Interesting. I am using an Apollo Quad, and when used on a mix by adding the UAD-2 plug-ins to FX in Reaper, all works fine for me. rMBP, TB to Apollo.

@Meinardas, there is a UAD user's forum (the un-official UAD forum). You can find it at http://uadforum.com

Maybe someone there will have an idea for you.

BTW: Meinardas, your English is good - much better than the English many Americans speak and write.

While you're at it with UA, can you see if you can figure out why AU instances of UAD plugins are always taxing the UAD DSP whereas VST instances only tax the UAD DSP when the item needs the UAD for playback or rendering?

I'm speaking of item FX instances and not track/channel instances.

It would be nice if the AU behaved like VST so it's not so easy to max out the DSP usage in a session.

I don't like mixing AU and VST plugins on an item because it seems that I get little playback glitches when moving from the GUI of a AU plugin to VST plugin inserted on the same item.

Thanks.
