Can plugins even be universal 2 binaries? FL Studio is native, but it can bridge to rosetta 2 plugins, I assume it used the native Hive, but I'm not sure how to tell if the plugin is bridged or not. (this was mainly because I realized after initlally verifying that it was working, I was using the rosetta 2 reaper and had to redo it with native reaper). In reaper's case, I tried both native and Rosetta 2 (and both work). Hive loads and works fine as a VST3 in both Reaper, and FL Studio. In my case, u-he Hive and Twangstrom both 'Crashed examination process' (and it sticks on hive for several minutes before moving on), The other u-he plugins pass, however none of them show up as instruments when I try to 'add instrument track'. Searching around these forums it does seem like there is a general VST3 issue and has been for quite a while, though I've had to piece this together as there doesn't seem to be a thread specifically about this (or my searching didn't work very well).

I've generally only installed the VST3 versions of plugins, when that's an option. I've very recently started a trial of Digital Performer 11.04, in the hopes that chunks will let me work the way I want to work.
