Maybe I'm in a mood but it's frustrating when people appear out of no where, with zero other posts, DON'T POST THEIR SYSTEM SPECS in their sig like we repeatedly encourage, and use vague language like "Just borked audio on some plugs" OY! Wastes good peoples time...
I'll go with, "You're in a mood." Thanksgiving seems to do that to people. I also appreciate your rant; it was a nice distraction from the problems I'm having with my borked-out Cakewalk Platinum. As an aside, I saw and borrowed "Borked" from a forum host in another thread/section. Maybe it was the right diction with the wrong use. I'll get busy conjugating and get back to you.
System specs:
i7-2600, 32GB RAM | Win10 (x64) | GTX 670 | MOTU Ultralite Mk3 | Keyboard | Mouse | Monitor | Cup Holder | chip crumb recepticle | bowl of peanut M&M's | Mini York Peppermint Patties in a bowl for clients | Acoustic Tile | Wires | Cables | UPS | Raid Array | Mixing Desk | Chairs (with AND without casters) | Assorted Stationary |
As for the problems themselves: The only change to the system in question was Kingston. Symptoms: no sustain pedal on any instrument (verified it works with stand-alone plugins and two other DAWs), and IRIS2 just outputs hissing on the left channel and bit-crunched noise in the left channel.
Rolling back to Jamaica Plain solves the issues with noise and plugin instability (since IRIS2 has a 100% failure to load rate for me in Kingston), but the sustain pedal is still MIA. Weirdly, my Imagine-Line plugs (notably Harmor) appear more stable.
Mostly I'm disappointed because for me, Kingston is a mild disaster. Launching a major update before a long weekend when technical support are gone is the most frustrating part.
So, while one system is now "borked" (or "gimped" to use more technical parlance), I have two others to fall back on that don't exhibit the same problems. Just frustrating (and bad timing to try and get support).
