So to remind my setup :

I have VMWare Fusion Pro 11.5 running Windows 10 x64 virtual machine with few vsts installed (soothe 2, tico, and VMR that says Failed in red).
I have a Macbook pro Mojave running Reaper and i Installed every thing on the mac (see screenshot)

For windows I also installed Server and Plugin just in case.

I disabled firewall for windows and for mac. I am running on Wifi router (Xiaomi).

My wifi is working average (see screenshot) and I set up the Bridged option on the VMWare as @Spirit stated (see screenshot)

I tried Bridge (Automatic) and Bridge (Wi-Fi)

So I went to system preferences on Mac to take my Server IP adress which starts with 192.

in the screenshots, you can see the config on the windows server

Then I open Reaper, I tried AU and Vst3 and everything (Midi, inst, normal)

I add the new server starting with 192.... And it remains not connected...

Anyone help ?

Thank you guys

I'm not sure why yours is not working. One thing though, you said "So I went to system preferences on Mac to take my Server IP adress which starts with 192."

Your Mac is not the server. The Windows VM is the server and it will have a different IP address than your Mac. It is the Windows IP address that you need to enter into the plugin (if its not connecting automatically)

To find the Windows IP address, click on the Windows Start Menu icon in bottom left corner, then type "Network Status" in search box. Click on Network Status page and from there click the "Properties" button - that will take you to a page where you can see your IP address for the Windows VM. It will also start 192.x.x.x and this is the one to try entering in the plugin.

 

thank you @Spirit, I will give it a try, i uninstalled vmware to test with Parallels.

Will keep you updated thanks

 

@Spirit, this is what i get for IP adress of my windows VM , screenshot below

 

Sorry I found the IP, underneath.

Put it inside my Reaper, still the same.... omg.... will I ever be able to make this work

 

Oh the problem was I had Radio Silence ! sorry @Spirit now i get this menu, how do I show the UI ?

 

Sorry for spamming, it works now Thanks Spirit !

By the way, why do I have some plugins saying Failed in red ?

 

Dears, I am just a producer who likes to try overpriced shit without having to wear an ilok. I insist, you do not need these plugins having the ones you already have, this will not change anything you already do, but if you are on vacation like me now, it can be fun. The only thing that this is worth is to remove your anxiety that ilok shit is superior, nothing is further from reality, but that is another story.

I´m logic guy in Mojave and i use parallels desktop, let's see how I did it.

1) Install Parallels desktop( I'm not going to put pictures my friend

2) Install windows 10, which is free.

3) Install a proper version of Visual C++ in your windows 10

4) Install your favorite plugins in your windows 10

5) Open your firewalls in windows and in the Daw, if not it will not connect.

4) Install Audiogridder server version in your windows 10

5) Install Audiogridder plugin in your Daw

6) Open Audiogridder server app, an icon will appear on the right side of your windows bar

7) Audiogridder will scan automatically the plugins YOU installed before, you can see them in the drop down menu.
don't touch anything, in principle



8) Open yor main Daw, insert the audiogridder plugin. Audiogridder create a virtual network automatically that will appear in the plugin.


9)CONNECT

10) HAVE FUN

where can i find the good C++ please friend ?

 

Its all good for me, thanks a lot guys especially @Spirit and @Pollice verso

I got the message "scaling is more that 100%" when opening the server on VM, i cant seem to be able to change it though, quick fix ?

Thanks

 

Samirbouzid - glad you got it sorted.

Pollice verso - I still have my firewalls active on both Mac and the VM and it’s working fine.

 

Here bro:

 

Broh! you can make plugin racks!! and for the moment "hold the guy"

 

@Pollice verso curious whats your latency from vm? using audiogridder through ethernet rn getting 90ms max

 

I think AudioGridder is great for mixing, recording isnt recommanded.
So latency-wise, I think it is actually acceptable

 

Of course you can haha, I tried Soothe2 with Elevate right after.

I got some vsts still failing but maybe the developper will update this cool tool.

 

Oh and using Gullfoss is so great haha

 

With VM I had some scaling issues so I went back to parallels with the beta version of AudioGridder.
It works like charm in Parallels, far better, smoother and streamlined than VM.
Firewall on Mac is on and on Win10 is entirely off (but I didn't try to switch it on to see if it works that way too).
I've installed the Visual C++ just in case beforehand so I don't know if it works without it

 

I have same scaling issues, how do you remove the audiogridder completely from mac and vm please @Jim Stratos

 

For me too, I'd rather have a windows and mac installation and switch between but at full performance
