Plug-in problems · Troubleshooting

Plug-ins run in Skiff's engine, so a bad one can't take the app down with it. Here's how to get it back.

Route reads Failed
A window is stuck
Surround turned into stereo

01Route reads Failed

The message names what broke. In Settings, switch that stage off or remove it, then click Apply. If a plug-in fails every time, check its maker for an update.

02A window is stuck

Choose Recover Audio Unit Windows from the menu. It closes every plug-in window, restarts the plug-in host, and puts the running chain back.

03Surround turned into stereo

If any plug-in in a chain only takes stereo, the whole chain runs in stereo, and the status line shows the fold, like in: 12ch → 2ch. Swap that plug-in for one that takes the full width. Atmos has the details.
