Is anyone else having trouble loading the vst3 version of Surge XT on the RC? For me it just crashes Ardour. I am able to load the lv2 just fine.
Yes I know I can just use the lv2 version, but it would be nice to have the choice.
No problem here with 9 RC and Surge XT 1.3.4 VST3.
Between 9.0-rc1-9 and 9.0-rc1-17, VST3 plugins with sidechains inputs (such as Surge XT) will have caused problems.
It should be fine with recent rc-19 and later.

that’s great set of changes/improvements. Good work everyone!
hi! thanks for the great work, im really happy about ardour 9, especially reigon fx!
i would like to report that im getting segfaults whenever i load the harrison xt guis of ACE plugins after loading the an xt gui before in the same session
Arch Linux or a derivative ? If so this is likely the same as [SOLVED] Ardour crashes when re-opening a plugin window - #2 by x42
If so, try updating mesa to mesa-git 25.3.0.
ah, sorry, yeah, im on arch, that fixed it, thank you, and sorry
I’m very impressed with new Ardour. But there is still a big issue with graphics on Mac - especially for mixer window. I think is a slightly better than earlier, but it doesn’t work so fluently as in Reaper or Luna

While we’re happy to take any random praise, when it comes to criticism it needs to be a lot more precise. Information like: version of macOS, screen size, resolution and connection type(s), all relevant macOS-specific options in Ardour, and something more about what “not as fluent” really means to you?

I suggest you heed @paul’s advice, and perhaps submit a proper bug-report over on the bug tracker.
I use macOS as well, and have similar problems to what you describe.
So I think I’ll submit my own bug report as well…
In the meantime, I suggest flipping this setting in your preferences window to see if it helps improve things:

I’ve been using the nighties for a bit, and I would love to submit some helpful bug reports, specifically ones relating to crashes, etc. I downloaded the debugging version. If I experience a crash, where am I most likely to find relevant information to send?
For example, I have been experiencing hangs/crashes pretty consistently when I try to save a copy of a session under a new name. When that happens, what information is helpful to submit?
Thank you for your work.

Please see Debugging Ardour | Ardour DAW for instructions on how to get backtraces that we can use, then file a bug report. If you can’t do that, try to find a reproduceable step-by-step recipe.
