Connection Problems – SampleGrabber and FLUX:: Analyzer Essential / FLUX:: Session Analyzer
If your SampleGrabber plug-in instances are not listed in the source menu in the FLUX:: Analyzer Essential or FLUX:: Session Analyzer application, or if there is no incoming signal from the SampleGrabber plug-in in the Analyzer application, there may be a problem with the network communication between the plug-in and the Analyzer application.
SampleGrabber is not listed in the Analyzer application as a Source (Windows Only)
- As a first step, press play in the DAW and verify that the sound is playing as intended, the SampleGrabber needs to process audio before it can be recognized by the Analyzer application.
- If after this the SampleGrabber is still not listed in the Analyzer application as a Source, there may be an issue with the Apple Bonjour network framework, used for the network discovery to find and to list the SampleGrabber instances automatically, as well as for the communication between the SampleGrabber and the Analyzer application.
How to fix this- Close all applications (including your web browser).
- Open the Windows control panel.
- Uninstall Flux:: Center and the Apple Bonjour Framework ( if it’s installed ) using the Add / Remove Programs.
- Install the latest version of FLUX:: Center again, now the installer should prompt and ask if you want to install the Apple Bonjour Framework, which you need to do in order to fix this.
When the installation is completed, everything should now work as intended.
