In Studio One, problems can occur where certain third-party plug-ins, even when installed, show a black screen or freeze the application. This article introduces a way to fix display problems with plug-ins such as Melodyne and BFD3. Disabling graphics hardware acceleration in the Options is a simple fix that makes the plug-ins display properly, and it is a useful solution for music producers troubled by the same symptoms.

The Solution
It is very simple.
Open "Options" from the "Studio One" menu.

This made each plug-in display properly.
