Hello,

I've been trying to use the VST plugins bundled with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 without any success. They work fine in Reaper for example. Wondering if anybody has encountered this and found a solution.

Thank you for reading. :-)

  Have you tried other compressor plug-ins?

    Yes, and they work however I prefer the Focusrite plugins

Are these plugins available for free so that I can try to debug the problem?

  Hmm not sure if I should've used the reply button instead?

  Hi, I came here because I have the same problem. I'm wondering if there have been any progress on this issue? I have the Red 3 compressor bundled with my Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 and I'm trying to use it in my Equalizer APO setup. I can interact with it, but it just doesn't work.

Unfortunately no, but you can run them in a demo mode where the audio gets muted every few seconds. You can download them here: https://global.focusrite.com/downloads?product=Red+Plug-In+Suite
