problems with reaper_host_i386

JeremyCherfas · 04-14-2018, 01:16 AM

I've just started getting a warning about reaper_host_i386 on MacOS 10.13.4

Reading around the forum, there are some old posts that suggest it might be something to do with certain plugins.

Is there an easy way to discover which plugins are 32-bit? I don't use many, so I could just delete all except the few I use, but that seems like overkill.

Thanks

Jeremy

What version of Reaper are you using ?

I have the very same issue, started some preview versions ago.
I am currently on 5.79pre15-64bit.
OSX 10.13.4

I'm on v5.78 - March 25 2018 64 bit.

For me, the message started after updating MacOS, I'm pretty sure.

I have been getting that message warning also.., and I do not have any 32 bit plugins..?, I have posted this a couple of times in the pre release discussions thread so i guess we wait.

Very soon we will be not be able to use any 32bit apps at all on macOS.., which is good.

Same here: I do not have any 32bit plugins installed, only 64bit plugins ..very weird.

Yes it is weird as I have been going through all of my VST and AU folders making sure they are all only 64bit.., maybe I am missing something?.

Hi, in my case I used some .m4a-files and that started a reaper_host_i386 process in the background. After converting them to wav, this process vanished. Maybe that has something to do with old (32bit) quicktime ?

May I ask, how do you check whether plugins are 32 or 64 bit?
