Channel tools Corruption? Intermittent Problem

This has happened to me a few times now since Channel Tools came out. I'm in 8.0.2 at the moment.

I have a project/song with a couple instances of channel tools on it. Was working fine when I last closed it. I re-open it next day and WHAM ... minute I play, all 4 CPUs spike to 100% playback is some awful stuttered noise thing - not quite motor boating but sort of similar - track view visual playback is hopping at weird intervals - really bad.

I trace it down to one instance of channel tools, It's as simple as bypass it, all is fine, turn it on - back to the problem. Note that I have another instance of it on another track working just fine. I delete it and re-add another instance - same problem. Finally give up and remove it - figure I'll add in Waves S1 later. Work for a bit save project a couple times. On a whim - go add channel tools right back to where it was, and now ... all is fine again????????????

I've seen this at least 3 times now - very intermittent and non-reproducible - but all linked to channel tools. Anyone else seen anything like this?

Thanks!

First thing is update to 8.3.1. I have not seen any problem with Channel Tools.

If you were to give some specs it might be useful.

Shouldn't you do a True Image back up first? At least so you're not ridiculed if the update causes you trouble?

Thats good advice. I have my entire system backed using Vista's backup facility. Thanks to you for reminding me its time to do a another backup.

I have not run into any problems with any of CW's FX. Years ago I did have trouble with FX Pad but not for a long time. I have not used CT on more then one track though. At least I don't recall doing so. I do have a lot of other tools that can do much the same things.
