For what is worth, here is iZotope reply today (12/18/2020)
"Gig Performer isn’t an officially supported host application, you can see supported hosts here:
If Gig Performer supports it, it may be worth testing both VST, VST3 and 32–bit & 64-bit versions or Iris 2.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,

Customer Care Agent"
We have always been willing to work with any plugin developer to ensure compatibility with Gig Performer®. If the issue is on our end then we’ll just fix it and release an update as quickly as possible.
However, when the issue is due to a problem with the plugin itself , there is very little we can do other than to help the plugin developer with crash reports and explanations as to how to reproduce the issue.
To date, almost all plugin developers have been willing, indeed often eager, to find and fix issues with their plugins. It is usually the case that such issues occur because Gig Performer uses some plugin functionality that, while part of the official plugin standards, is not used by many other hosts and so is simply overlooked.
iZotope states that GP is not a supported host and they ignore the crash reports clearly showing that the crashes occur inside their code.
We are always ready to help plugin makers make their plugins compliant with the standards but, regretfully, we have hit a brick wall with iZotope as they do not seem to be interested in making their product more safe and robust.
Consequently, and with some regret, **we recommend that our users not include iZotope plugins in their live gig files as they can clearly make the entire gig unstable.
Do you have a list of culprit plugins from waves, Izotope or others that are known problems for Mac users?
Is Izotope still a no-go in late 2022 in conjunction with Gig Performer? I´m thinking about bying the mix and master bundle including the new Ozone 10
I have many plugins from iZotope but do not use them live.
That is not because they are not reliable, they introduce latency wich is too high.
Or they need too much CPU in my complex rackspaces.
Thanks for clarification, Paul.
