Plugins and VSTs not showing completely

Post by jddrock »

Hello!

I have been having a little problem with some plugins and vsts in MX8 Pro Studio recently. Some of the plugin's displays are being cut off at the bottom and I can't adjust certain parameters because the whole plugin isn't showing. There's an example below. Does anybody have a fix for this or know why this might be happening?

Change the screen resolution on your PC.

I don't think it has anything to do with screen resolution.

There was a known issue with this in some obsolete builds. Make sure you have updated to the latest build of Mixcraft first....
Stay in tune, Mark

Good catch Mark.
It looks like you’re using build 415... Click on Help on the top of MX8 and update to build 418.

If that's not it, you could try seeing if your video drivers are up to date. I've had plugs act wonky before and it was video drivers. Some plugs can be wonky to begin with.

Hi,

This was a bug in the build of Mixcraft you are using. Updating to build 418 will fix it.

Anyone else ever have trouble with downloading the update? Each time it gets to a certain point in downloading the update in MC and it suddenly stops and closes out of the update.

No I haven't, but I think I remember reading something about it... Try this, first close and restart MX8 (so it starts fresh), then click on Help and Check For Updates... and BEFORE the upgrade starts, QUICKLY CLOSE MX8. Wait a few minutes, then restart the PC and MX8.

I tried your suggestion jlouvar and it worked! I had done that a few times before some I'm not exactly sure what the issue was but I tried it again today and it updated in about a minutes time. Thank you!

The update also fixed the issue I was originally having.
