I'm having similar problems with Neutron Advanced.
Thanks for the tip about the VST2 versions which are completely unusable.
The VST3 version seems better but Track Assistant is very flaky!
I added 4 instances of Neutron to drums, guitar1 and 2 and bass.
Track Assistant worked fine on drums.
On Guitar 1 TA runs and makes adjustments but then locks up until Sonar stops at Project End (glad I had that set).
Same story on the other tracks. Hit play again and same story - cannot do anything until it stops at the end of the tracks (4 mins 30 sec for this song). Very tedious!
I have checked and do have the paramz file mentioned above.
So is the best thing I can do next to install the normal version of Neutron (not advanced)?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
