RX 7 and 8 crashing

Crashes with third-party plug-ins

There have been a number of reports of crashes with Pro Tools 19+, macOS Catalina (10.15) and RX 7, 8 when instantiated alongside specific third-party plug-ins such as:

  • Sonnox: Oxford Drum Gate
  • UAD: Sonnox Oxford Envolution
  • GRMtools: GRM Delay, Doppler, Comb Filter, Spacegain 
  • Output: Thermal

To avoid these crashes, please be sure to install RX 8.5 or newer.

If you're not using any of those plug-ins and you're still seeing crashes, this likely means there's a permissions issue with the installation. It's best to re-install RX from the Admin account of your computer and try once more.
