Reaper Vst Plugins Too Small
For a while REAPER has been crashing often when I insert a plugin. This is NOT normal behavior and not what I am used to seeing. After a dozen crashes this morning I stopped trying to mix and tried to figure it out.

Want to use some of the comprehensive FX plug-ins that REAPER provides, but stuck in another host? Haven't made the switch yet? Fear not - you can download ReaPlugs, a package of FX that includes many of the plug-ins that come with REAPER, for free! The EAR Production Suite is a set of VST® plugins and tools for producing immersive and personalizable audio content suitable for any Next Generation Audio codec. It is based on the Audio Definition Model (ITU-R BS.2076) and the ITU ADM Renderer (ITU-R BS.2127) and enables monitoring on any ITU-R BS.2051 loudspeaker configuration. ebu/ear-production-suite.
Clearing the plugin cache didn’t help and neither did installing the latest update. Eventually I found a preference that I normally have enabled was actually disabled. This option is called ‘Bypass audio while opening plug-in config window‘ in the Plug-ins>VST settings.
The good news is REAPER doesn’t crash anymore, the downside is playback glitches momentarily when inserting a plugin or opening the UI (which is the reason I disabled it before).
If REAPER is crashing often, give this a try.
