AIR instruments problems

Hello I have Platinum and the AIR instruments vsti doesn't work fine. The problem is when I play my keyboard the sound takes a few seconds (lag). This problem don't occur in Sonar X3 or Reaper. Any suggestions?

I don't this it is a driver issue. The delay is several seconds between the note on and the synth responding. The problem only occurs with release J. Prior releases of SONAR and the X series do not have the problem.

This sounds like what I saw when I upgraded to Jamaica plain. I found that when I enabled  a patch point, I was getting a massive delay with Midi to AIR plugs (Velvet in my case) - in a number of tests, the delay was 13 seconds from playing a note to hearing the plug in play.
Reverted to Ipswitch & everything is fine again.

I don't think it's a Delay compensation issue - it seems to only be with air instruments ( in my limited tests)

Cakewalk will blame the AIR instruments and ignore the problem.

Ipswitch doesn't have this problem, it is new.  Something to do with changes in Jamaica Plain.  I also don't have any problems with Hybrid or Strike either only Loom, Velvet, Transfuser 2, and Structure.

Have any of you with AIR-loss (sorry, couldn't resist :-)) problems reported to Cakewalk via the problem reporter?

Surely it's worth a try - as I'm sure we know, this forum is not formally monitored by Cakewalk staff, so if anything is spotted, it's happenstance (and there are a lot of threads created and added to on a daily basis, so it's a lot to monitor).

I've only used the last two versions (1.0.6 and 1.0.1), both have this problem.  Both versions were after they switched the licensing and gave out new serial numbers.
 

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the license or authorization.  I only mentioned that because it was the only "user visible" change from AIR to tell the two versions apart.  When I first noticed the problem I hadn't updated to the 1.0.6 version so I thought I'd try that to fix it, which is why I've seen the last two versions under JP.  I'm not sure I can even go back to pre-iLok version now.
 
Seems likely it has something to do with all the audio routing changes (since arming the track for record makes the problem go away/masks the problem).  But unless someone from Cakewalk downloads the VacuumPro demo and looks at it and figures out if it's Cakewalk or AIR's problem I suspect we are going to just have to live with it. 
 
Cakewalk support won't even tell me how Sonar fills out the Insert Synth menu on the Synth panel (so I can figure out why it's broken for me), a question I've asked them multiple times (they have just stopped replying, they must consider the issue ignorable).  I have no hope of them looking at a 3rd party VST plugin they casually broke with JP.  Any submitted ticket would just start with the blame Windows OS/Drivers/Hardware nonsense instead of actually trying it.  Cakewalk has designed their entire support system and this forum so that they can avoid actually having to fix anything.  It's engineered in.
 

FWIW, I've had intermittent success avoiding the issue by running Velvet inside DDMF's Metaplugin Synth. Obviously, this is a pathetic workaround, and CW needs to fix this. No problems like this in Cubase.

I've posted this issue under weird timing issue and many other have confirmed this lag on several synths...even Zeta is doing this. Others have had this issue with Machine. I have Hybrid and XPander2 and I think Hybrid also lags. I also have VST scanning issue in JP...hangs on a Wave VST - bass rider mono for some bizarre reason. I've contacted Tech Support but I don't have the time to go through further problem-solving. I installed/un-installed JP around 6 times now trying different things and each time I go back to Ipswich, both issues do not occur, so I'm staying with it for the moment and hope Cake can sort it. 

The delay issue is fixed for the next update.
And as far as performance goes the JP issues were very specific and a workaround was available. 
However we have made major performance improvements in the next update in many areas. Probably the fastest version to date.
