Wasn't there two versions of CL? (i.e. it got updated).
Or am I thinking of another Pro Channel module?

I think you are thinking of the LA2A/CA2A

I had an issue when I forgot to remove the old one

There were two versions of the CL. I have the second one installed (1.01.64 IIRC). What's frustrating is that 1) it happens rarely so it's hard to quantify, and 2) saving the project doesn't help because re-opening it seems to solve the problem, at least temporarily. But now that I know others are experiencing it, I'll pay closer attention to what happens just before the CL freezes, and the condition of the project (e.g., is it looping etc.).
 
I've sent files to CW that screwed up but of course, once they hit Boston they open up and play just fine, like happy little campers.

Craig, as experienced as you are, can you explain why you have many instances of CL on many tracks. Can't you just render them to alleviate the CPU load?
Just asking.

Craig, hate when that happens. I have an ongoing issue with Geist that creeps up now and then and ALWAYS disapears when I contact support.

I've had this happen two or three times, no more than that. Deleting that instance of the CL and inserting a new one got things working again for me.

had the same prob when I bought the CL few years ago, and with the updates/repairs CL it didn't fix that completely.
Windows 7, 64bit with Asio drivers.
personally I find the Nomad limiters better as they have attack/release controls, fantastic present from Cakewalk !
Allthough Concrete limiter sounds great at first I would only recommend it for synth pads and anything without a beat in it.....to my ears CL takes some life out of the mix (dynamics).
That's just my opinion and I know many are very happy with CL.....
 
Craig, just thinking often I wish for an A/B (C,D...) tool in Sonar.....sometimes I want to compare a few changes to the project quickly and an overall A/B button would be very helpful there.
 
thankf for all your tips/tricks and great vids :)

I had problems with this in the past, but cannot be sure if I have experienced it since X3/ CL update (Sleep deprivation from young family can distort temporal reality ). 
 
I will keep an eye out fo it.
 
I am still experiencing some weird graphic problems with the Ca-2a.  Hope that's not too O.T. for this thread.

Craig,
This may be reproducible, insert cl on a track and save a pc preset.
Load that same preset that you just saved on the same track and the cl may mute...
Happens to me.

Nice catch, gustabo.  Just followed your steps and got 100% reproducible.

Hmm so this is reproducible with just the CL or other Pro Channel plugins?
 
Cheers..
