Hi,
 
I've been using Slate's VCC (Console Emulation) for quite a while in SONAR, and ver 1.5.2 worked perfectly.
 
The new version 2.0 (incorporated into the VMR rack) works too - but there is one annoying problem. When I clone a new blank track (containing VCC), and start recording a guitar part - the audio is distorted and "choppy". If I close the project and re-open it, it's fine. So SONAR is fine, and VCC is fine - but it seems like a new instantiation (by cloning a track) doesn't work quite right. Maybe the PDC isn't right? 
Also - if I just delete VCC, and add it back again (rather than closing the project and re-opening) - it works fine.
 
This isn't really a big deal - but I thought I'd ask Slate support what they thought. This is what they replied (after not understanding what I was talking about the first time)
 
"Hi John,
Yes, I understand now. I don't think there is much we can do on our end. Here is a list of our officially supported DAWs: https://slatedigital.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203716664-Supported-Digital-Audio-Workstations.  "
 
If you look on that link - SONAR isn't officially supported for any Slate products.
This is a little disconcerting. I just thought I'd share this...
 
rgds,

I'm using a lot of Slate stuff, and have had no apparent problems in Sonar Platinum so far. The latest version of VTM crashes Cubase 8 and is unusable in Studio One 2.6.5. Seems to be working in REAPER 5pre20 and Pro Tools 11 though.
 
I'll try your scenario when I open Sonar next time (unless I forget it).
 
Slate plugins have always known to be a little (or even a little more) buggy. That's a pity because they really sound nice.
 
Why they do not officially support Sonar, I don't know.

Hi stac,
That would be good if you could try it. I've got VCC set to a group - if that has something to do with it...
 
I think it's goos to tell people, because if there are ever any major bugs or problems - they aren't going to help us :-\

I use VCC v2, Trigger V2 and Virtual Mix Rack (by default as VCC 2 runs in it). So far, it's solid.
 
With VCC I made a big fuss with the Bakers as well as with Slate, and consequently Steven Slate himself emailed me several times to assure me they would have it all sorted out with the new build as VCC 01 was just a train wreck on many levels, according to his own newsletters.

Wow.  It's unbelievable that Maschine and Bitwig are on the list of Officially Supported DAWs while Sonar is not.

So LJB - can you just clone a track using VMR, and record into it? And it works OK?

Hi John,
I can't say that I have tried. I suppose I should have read your post better! Sorry! :O)

I just played around with it a bit and did not notice any issues.

Wait, I did not try recording ... I just cloned a track with existing audio.
 
Can't record external audio at the moment (unless you are talking about MIDI).
