Default Sample Tank 4 in PT 11 - not loading

I run Window 10, PT 11 - and recently upgraded from Sample Tank 2.5 to Sample Tank 4. In stand alone mode, the ST4 software runs fine but not in PT 11. I have run PT 11 as regular user and as admin and it makes no difference.



I see ST4 as an available plugin in PT but when I select it I get the following error message:


"The plugin cannot be made active because an AAE error was encountered: AAE error 14018"


I have contacted IK Multimedia who makes ST4 but they say they haven't encountered this problem before and they are starting to think it's a PT error.


Has anyone had this problem, can anyone offer some ideas to get ST4 to work? I've had ST2.5 and is worked great in PT 10 and, as I said, the ST4 standalone is working well as well.


I appreciate your help and consideration.


Sincerely ,


Bruce

I have ST4 Max, but luckily have not ran into this problem. Beyond every now and then causing a session to crash, I have had no major problems with it. So all I can suggest is the stock go-to suggestion of try a fresh install. If that does not work, try a fresh install of Pro Tools as well.

It's a compatibility issue between PT 11 and Win 10. Win 10 support in PT didn't happen until PT 12.5. See this chart: https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...tibility-Chart

If I am not mistaken, Pro Tools 11 still works with Windows 10 though. Appears if he is proposing the problem from the position of already using it on Windows 10, just that the ST4 plug-in is not working like his other plug-ins.

That's probably because of the incompatibility between PT11 and Windows 10. You can't discount that possibility. Just because it works for some people doesn't mean it will work for everyone.

I am not. You certainly could be right. I was just throwing in from the description of his problem, Pro Tools 11 and his other plug-ins apparently are working with Windows 10 and it is only the ST4 plug-in that is not, so it is possible as well it may not be an incompatibility issue and further problem solving research could help solve the problem eventually.

I've been having the same issue. SampleTank 4 unable to load and gives AAE error 14018 I'm running PT 11.3.1 on Windows 10 Pro and I never have issues with my system. I have a ton of plugins from various companies and that includes VIs. I've run huge session with a ton of plugins and it doesn't break a sweat. SampleTank 3 & Syntronik run fine. ST4 loads fine and runs in Reaper, Cakewalk & Waveform on the same machine so I know it's a PT issue.

I deleted preferences 5 times and uninstalled/reinstalled both PT & ST4 and the issue is still there.

1. upgrade to Pro Tools 2020.5 (recommended)
2. Clean-install Windows 7, Pro Tools 11, and ST4

Don't know if this is any help to you but I'm running ST4 Max with PT 2020.5 and Windows 10 Pro and it is working fine. I was previously using ST Max with PT 2019 for several months daily which was also problem free. Perhaps you are reluctant to shell out the money to update to the current version of PT but it might be worth it if you can't find another way to rectify the problem.
