LBH,
thanks for your reply.
I uninstalled the plugin using the ASC, and re-installed.
Still no text labels.
I checked the VSTi (64bit), VST3i (64bit), and the standalone: all the same problem
the screen grab above was taken from the standalone version.
I tested the plugin using my normal DAW: REAPER (x64).
I also tested it in FLStudio (VST3i and VST)
my rig is a Windows 10-based machine, i7 processor, 8 GB of RAM, Nvidia GTX1070 video card with 3GB of VRAM.
the OS is fully patched, and I'm using the latest drivers. REAPER is up-to-date.
any other thoughts? anyone?
