PSP VintageWarmer Nasty Distortion Problem

I have Sonar 8.5 PRODUCER and I have this problem where the PSP VintageWarmer2 has a nasty distortion at practically every setting when the 64-bit double-precision engine option is checked so I am forced to turn it off.  Does anybody know why?  I am running XP 32-bit.  Is the 64-bit engine important?

    What I've noticed is that for those that have issues with the 64-bit engine, they leave it off for the most part and only turn it on during the bounce-down.

    As Mike said, just turn the 64bit DP engine off.  PSP VW/2 is not compatible with it for some reason.
    Some other plugins aren't as well.   So I just turn it on for mixdowns (it's an option in the bounce dialogue) or just leave it off.
     
    32bit internal processing is still plenty enough really.

    Since I use PSP VW2 a lot, I just checked my setup and I'm using the 64-bit audio engine and rendering files in 64bit.
    So, there is some other cause for your issue.
    Can you let us know more details about your setup?
     
    BTW - I use the WDM drivers of my Ultra to get great low-latency.   I find I need to Wave Profile it from time to time as I Include/Exclude VSTs from the VST scans.  You may want to try re-profiling your card.

    Sijel,
    You just reminded me -- it's the DX version (NOT the VST version) that has trouble for me with the 64bit DPE on.

    Really?  I only installed the VST version and I'm having problems with it.

    What are the details of your setup ?  We can't help if we don't know what animal has the symptoms ;-)

    Maybe the real culprit is some other plugin;  or maybe the latency and/or I/O buffers in Sonar need adjusting.
     
    I'm not on Win7 on my DAW yet, but I also can use PSP VW2 with the 64DPE on.
