Hi, I have an issue when I link my reaper project with FMOD studio When I render a sound, during the fmod update, another reaper session is open then the error from fmod ![reaper](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/a/ae87f3686c5343020ce46fa84449841c54709a50.gif) Any idea? Thanks 🙂 ---

Hi, Another user has recently run into a similar issue [here](https://qa.fmod.com/t/issues-with-reaper-integration/19985/2). Would you mind trying the following from that thread, and letting me know what the results are? > [@Issues with Reaper Integration](https://qa.fmod.com/t/issues-with-reaper-integration/19985/2): > > the error message that you’ve received from FMOD Studio stating that the “Process crashed” indicates that instance of Reaper that FMOD Studio creates to sync with your Reaper project has crashed. If you attempt to render the regions of your Reaper project yourself (i.e. via File → Render, without syncing it with FMOD), does Reaper crash? If so, do you receive any error messages? Additionally, when you receive the error message in FMOD Studio, what does the FMOD Studio Console’s “Logging” window say with “Verbose Logging” enabled? Additionally, can I get your FMOD Studio and Reaper version numbers? ---

Hi, Cause of this error, I export my assets via File / Render and it works, no error. This is the log in FMOD during the crash: ```auto 22:24:15 Activated 'test.fspro[*] - Console' for 'C:/Users/Utilisateur/Desktop/test/test.fspro' [#3 times] 22:25:13 Event activated: [None] 22:25:13 Activated 'test.fspro[*] - Event Editor' for 'C:/Users/Utilisateur/Desktop/test/test.fspro' 22:25:15 Macro: Refresh Selected Assets... 22:25:25 Activated 'test.fspro[*] - Console' for 'C:/Users/Utilisateur/Desktop/test/test.fspro' [#2 times] ``` But I don’t use the regions feature of reaper, is it necessary? I use Reaper 6.78 and Fmod 2.02.11 ---

Thanks for providing the version numbers - unfortunately I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue. If possible, could I get you to upload your Reaper project to your FMOD Profile so I can take a look at it and hopefully diagnose the issue? You can do so at [https://www.fmod.com/profile](https://www.fmod.com/profile), in the “Uploads section”. ---

Sure no problem! I have to register the project first, I wait for the approval. I will let you know when it’s uploaded. Thanks! ---

Thanks for uploading your project. Everything seems in order, however, and I still haven’t been able to reproduce the “Process crashed” error. That said, before you ran into the issue, did you update or add a new VST plugin to the project? I suspect that one of them may be the cause. If possible, could you test disabling or removing some of them, especially the more recently added ones, and seeing whether that resolves the issue? ---

Okay found it! It’s the VST Kontakt Player (Free Version but I have an official licence) When I delete it, it works ---

I’m not sure whether I can be of much help in directly resolving this, but you may be able to avoid the crash in this case by bouncing your Kontakt midi to audio, and then disabling Kontakt and/or its track to stop it from being involved in the render process. That said, I’ve passed this along to the dev team for further investigation. ---
