Render-bypass message error Studio One 6

There is a problem with the render bypass-message in Studio One 6. The plugin does not correctly detect, if it is on or bypassed, just always showing the message. This is also true when placed on the listen bus, which could be ignored completely by the plugin as in Studio One plugins on the listen bus do not affect the bounce at all.

Of course it would be possible to just turn the notification off altogether, but I  think it's a great feature at times and would prefer to keep it in places it's actually helpful

Nicolas Müller this is most likely due to using the VST3 format, which doesn't support a properly functioning render-bypass notification. This is due to the limitations of the event data that the VST3 format receives from DAW (specifically, the render event). It might be possible to implement some sort of workaround for it in the future, but the issue is that such workarounds would introduce other issues. There are a couple of workarounds that you can use though:

  • Use the Listen Bus section for the VST3 plugin (this will bypass the plugin for rendering automatically), and turn off the notification entirely. Other DAWs also have similar features for a dedicated monitoring bus section (such as Control Room in Cubase, etc.), and it is easily possible to route a dedicated monitoring bus in any DAW manually too, in case the DAW doesn't have a built-in feature for it.

  • Alternatively, you can use the regular VST format, which will work correctly (but not for all DAWs due to other limitations), learn more here: Render-bypass workflow with the DAW plugin
