Arrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh!!!! Hit the wall again.

Hi...735......only one question.
How do you decide which to use?
In my last international prj i have used approximately 15, 3 part plugs and all Prochannel eff.

Why?? ..by now you should have been able to narrow it down, to a choice few.

Bloody hell, scrolling through the menu of plugs must take hours!!!

Why?? 

A) because I can
B) In case I ever get a project from someone else that uses any one of them
C) Why narrow it down? Exploration is half the fun for this hobbyist
D) Mooch's butt itches

Yes, the plug-in handling in SONAR could use more updates. One thing that might help in the interim is not scanning the all the 32bit plug-ins in the 64bit instance of SONAR. For the 32bit plug-ins that must be included in the 64bit instance, break them out into a different directory.

I expected you already did that. The comment was to the post immediately above it.

I also hit that wall recently.  In my effort to aspire to the state of BAPUness, I have got that message a few times in the last couple of months.  In an effort toward full disclosure (ha ha), I hit that wall  only when I include my 32bit vsts.
 
The message I get indicates that some of my vsts may not show up until I do something like organize or arrange or deselect some of the plugins in my plugin "layouts".  

if you want 34247236484 (to the power of 7) plugins.. so be it ... malloc more memory captain ;-)
 
what might be a nice idea also, have an option to rank the plugins by how much you use em. 
 
yep some plugs have mono, separate outs (kontakt) etc.. but well  , I bet there are plugins gathering dust / cobwebs also 
 
waves keep emailing me, but I'll champion fab filter instead :) (and no I'm not getting paid by em)
 
 

why ? sometimes limits are a good thing.. and stop GAS.. ask mr bapu how many plugs he REGULARLY uses , I'd be surprised if it was 25% of that amount :)
 

Ed, may I suggest disabling the Waves and UAD MONO plugs? There really is no need for them. Sonar handles stereo plugs as mono on mono instruments so there is no need for ANYTHING mono really. I have all my Waves and UAD Mono's disabled and any plugs that come in with mono version disabled as well. It should cut down on your cap number considerably.
 
Personally, I think you'd be better off without them. I know it's not for me to agree or disagree with, but personally and without offense, I see it as senseless and a total waste. The more crap you have on your machine that sits there "for the sake of" the more of a chance something can go wrong. If someone uses something that you don't have installed, it's easy enough to just install it. I don't keep anything on any of my recording boxes that doesn't get used. Now, I DO have specialty plugs that get used from time to time that may not be in the normal rotation, but it's rare I'll leave 25 different compressors on my box or a whole suite of stuff that never gets used.
 
It's so much easier to navigate through my custom plug menus and after a while, if I see stuff that I don't use coming up...it makes me so sick I have to remove it. Something to think about. Though the Sonar limitation does suck....it's one that *I* use as "c'mon dude, if you're capping it's time to start cleaning house." I've capped one time....needless to say, I'm at about 456 right now and even there, I could stand to remove some more.

bapu - I'm not a hater on your wealth of plug-ins. I am shocked though.

Now I know why the bapu never visits steamy NoFla.
 
I thought it was my tiny little TV but now I realize it's that I only have 17 plug ins.
 
Hey baps... you can bring your iLok.
 
;-)

arrgghhhhhhh!

you have the best stuff out there..between your Waves,SSL,FabFilter,UAD, Izotope etc. and all the great hardware options you have. who?? on earth are you going to run across that has something you don't have? (crickets) and if they do, you still could suggest a better alternative. its all good, that is what makes you, you. HAPPY FATHERS DAY YAW...
