I think I may have found a weird bug. I've already sent an email to support, but I wanted to confirm if anyone else is seeing this.

When I have Jamstix open in the effects panel, any time I click on something in the UI, it steals focus away from Reaper. That doesn't seem like a big problem, but Reaper (at least in my setup) automatically closes the audio device whenever Reaper another program has focus. So what happens is that every time I touch the UI, my audio stops working. Can anyone else confirm this is happening? I could probably change that option in Reaper, but I kind of find it useful, especially if I have to change to a different program to do something while a CPU hungry project is loaded. I hope that makes sense. It sounded easier to explain in my head Smile

Hi,

That is normal and will happen if you have the "Close audio device when stopped and application is inactive" enabled. Uncheck it under Preferences>Audio to change that behavior.

Hi. Thanks for the reply, but I think you misread my post. I have that option on purposely as I find it very handy if I have to switch to another application. I have used it since I started using Reaper. What's different is that I can't adjust anything in Jamstix without Reaper losing focus. This never happened before 3.6 and it doesn't happen with any other vst or vsti. For instance, I can open the Addictive Drums panel and make adjustments or click on a kit piece to hear it. If I click on a kit piece in Jamstix, it steals focus and shuts down the audio device, even inside Reaper's own effect window. Does that make more sense? Sorry if I was unclear earlier. I may have to disable that option temporarily in Reaper, but I hope to be able to use it again soon.

Jamstix 3.6 runs in a separate process from REAPER. That's why there is a focus transfer and why REAPER thinks it should close the audio device. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey, thanks for the reply. I turned off the option for shutting down the audio device and used it for a while. I turned the option back on to do some test, but now it's working as normal just like it used to. Go figure. Anyway, thanks for the help.
