Known Issues
While we would of course love to all live in a land of bug-free software, we are committed to always being transparent regarding known issues that we think users ought to be aware of.
We intend on resolving all known issues in a future release, but until then, here's the current list of known issue advisories:
| Issue Ref. | Issue Details | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| TF-944 | Dante Secondary Link-Local IP addresses are not supported. If the Secondary network port is set to use Link Local addressing, it will be assigned an IP address in the 169.254/16 range rather than the 172.31/16 range as required for Dante Secondary functionality. | Only use Static or DHCP IP addressing for Dante Secondary. At your own peril, you could set a static IP in the 172.31/16 subnet, however this is not recommended as you may experience network issues with IP conflicts in such a configuration. |
| TF-1810 | DSP load meter occasionally temporarily jumps to 100% with some plugins, before returning to a much lower, more believable value. Audio processing is not affected. | We are investigating the cause of these jumps but currently believe they are spurious and can be safely ignored; this can be validated by checking that the DSP Overruns count is not going up and that output audio is clean. |
| TF-1810 | Plugin scanner can stall showing spinner: occasionally, during plugin scan, the scanner dialog can get stuck displaying "Scanning for new and updated plugins" and a spinner forever. | Taking the system to Offline mode and then back to Edit mode should cause the plugin scan functionality to be available again. |
While we strive to support as many plugins as possible on the transform.engine, as the engine is an open platform running third-party plugins, there may occasionally be compatibility issues between the two. We try hard to test as many plugins for issues as possible, and we will always be open with you about plugin compatibility to the best of our knowledge.
You can find our live-updated compatibility testing database here. Any plugins that known to have issues will display a warning in the transform.client, either explaining the issue, or if the plugin can impact system usability, preventing the engine from loading the plugin until we are able to work with the plugin manufacturer to resolve the issue.
Can't see an issue that you've come across? Please let us know! Drop us an email at: support@fourieraudio.com and we'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible, or file a bug report on our discourse site.
Previously-resolved issues
| Issue Ref. | Issue Details | Workaround | Fixed in version |
|---|---|---|---|
| TF-1345 [fixed] | While a chain restarts, metering freezes on that chain. | This is purely cosmetic: you can see that a chain is restarting if all plugins have a lightning bolt next to them. The metering should resume normal service once all plugins have restarted. | v1.1.0 |
| TF-1673 [fixed] | Engine service status indicators are occasionally inaccurate. In certain circumstances, the engine status indicators can show a service being offline when it is actually online, or vice versa. | This is purely cosmetic. Support can obtain accurate details about engine status by inspecting the logs. | v1.1.0 |
| TF-1686 [fixed] | Connecting the client to the transform.engine using a link-local address results in the client not functioning as expected. | Please only connect the transform.client to the transform.engine using static or DHCP IP addresses. If you are using Dante in link-local mode, please connect the client to the engine using the control port, configured to either a static or DHCP address. | v1.1.0 |
| TF-1696 [fixed] | Certain plugins may lead to incorrectly excessive DSP load being displayed. | For some CPU-intensive plugins, the system may report abnormally (and incorrectly) high DSP load. This can be validated by checking if the audio is clean on the output of all chains in the system. | v1.1.0 |
