Hi Folks, anybody running into this issue of Rack 2 not loading on Windows 10?
I have Rack 1.1.6 installed, not running. I installed Rack 2, fresh download from the website seconds ago. Windows did throw up a warning, saying unknown publisher. I went ahead anyways. I tried rebooting. I tried reinstalling. I also tried to run it with Win 8 Compatibility mode. Lastly, I tried the -d command line option, but saw nothing to the stderr, nothing to the log. I checked Task Manager, Rack shows up and then just disappears.
Ah, interesting. Are you running JACK and ASIO4ALL on Windows? That’s not a known incompatability AFAIK but the first step would be deactivating one, then the other, and seeing what happens.
I wonder if there’s a latent conflict between Rack’s multiple-card support and JACK/A4A. @djsignal7, I’m stepping away for a bit, but will check back shortly unless someone else picks up the baton.
Oh good. Rack V2 has a very different approach to audio output so it makes general sense that it would
In a lot of ways–plugins, the DSP engine, etc.–Rack V2 is a true v2.0, but this is more like V1.0.0 of a new audio driver.
I’m now going to ping Benn Jordan as I think he uses Jack and he had serious issues getting a beta running. Maybe the same problem! When you get a sec would you mind updating the thread title with something like “(uninstalling JACK fixed it)” and maybe marking your own post as a solution? That could be really helpful, especially right now.
+1 on the Jack conflict: couldn’t get Rack to run (it only ran as a background program) so I removed Asio4All, Jack, LoopbackMidi and Bome, and now it is GO!
+1 on the Jack conflict (maybe). I uninstalled Jack (which I never used anyway) and all FocusRite drivers in favor of the driver for my Mackie ProFX mixer. I wasn’t using the FocusRite anyways and knew it wasn’t playing nicely with the mixer.
