X1 and VCC

fooman, I too have had issues with multiple instances of that plug. I actually don't really like it anymore to be honest. Yeah, safe to say Slate probably needs some more attention to Sonar. I'm having a horrible problem with SSD 4 drums at the moment. It crashes every 10th time I try to load instruments while audio is playing. I posted on their forum in hopes someone from tech support would see it and at least give me something to try...but the only people responding to me have been some of my friends that are on the that forum who are also on our Sonar forum too.

I haven't tried to use a Slate support ticket which I probably should attempt. I haven't done it because I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this problem. It seems it may be just me and one other person. But so far their forum is useless other than my friends bumping my post to keep it in the limelight.

same here, no problem loading 40+ vcc channels w/ several mixbuss instances in 32b or 64b projects.

I haven't used VCC with X1D yet, but prior to that no problems.

I've heard anecdotally that vcc is cranky in sonar. Don't know anything more concrete than that, though. But I am nervous about spending big plug in money these days til I hear good news about compatibility. Take Melodyne; brilliant piece of software, but doesn't work with sonar, and it turns out by Melodyne's own admission to be their error not cakewalk's. I know these things are tricky, and I'm not angry or upset, but I'm also not rich enough to have a big shelf full of Melodynes that I can't use. 

If anyone knows better, please tell us all. I'd really like to get vcc, but I want to be confident before I start spending. 

Don't get me wrong, once the projects load it works fine and dandy. It's just the loading that gets me. I have no idea if it actually IS vcc. I just see that it's always the 'blame' in the error popup cake had put in for X1. Perhaps it's another culprit I dunno. I asked about this on the Slate boards to no avail. I also submitted a ticket in their support system with no response. I just live with it now. Only happens at mix time. Never had a crash until I start to pile them on. John T, I run Melodyne on almost every project I do. I apply it to clips, not tracks. I also bounce the clips once I'm done tweaking the vocal lines (or bass line I once successfully used it on haha). The ONLY time I had issue with Melodyne was way back in S7 when I used to run it on the FX Bin and had too many going at once.
