Sonar 8.5.3 and BFD2 and Izotope Nectar solution

All,
 
The new Izotope Nectar is a great sounding new vocal plugin BUT it does not play well with BFD2 in the same project. If Nectar is set to Mixing mode the automatic delay compensation seems to stop BFD2 loops from playing. Either freeze BFD2 while Nectar is in this mode or Turn off "Breath" or switch to tracking mode. Both will work at the same time in this manner.
Likewise if Nectar is frozen then BFD2 can be unfrozen and edited. You just can't have both unfrozen at the same time if "Breath" is used.
 
Hope this helps the next person.

    I was going to pick Nectar up last night ($199 price), but I tried to use the vocal doubler in both 32 and 64-Bit Sonar PE8.5, and it caused my CPU meter to peg, with dropouts and distortion - Mixing/Tracking mode made no difference, neither did increasing latency.  The particular project was all audio (~18 tracks) - 24 bit/88.2.  It behaved the same on my i3 based laptop and i7 based DAW (different audio interfaces on both, 4 & 9GB respectively).  I'm using ASIO driver mode on both machines - I didn't bother to try WDM.

    I own several iZotope products, but this one appears half baked.
