I have reported over 30 times (I have proof) in the form of Automated Error Reports, official reports and this forum that Slate VCC and Sonar have a problem. Any Sonar project (as far back as X2), crashes at least 50% of the time when I try to open it, and the error is always "Unhandled Exception - Slate VCC ..". 
 
Slate has responded and has been very very helpful, communicative and willing to delve into the issue. They have given me a few test to run, which basically indicates that it is a Sonar problem. 
 
Meanwhile, I have had little more than a "It's a Slate issue" from Cakewalk.
 
Slate VCC works on my PC in Protools 9.06 and Ableton.
 

So... Cakewalk... care to comment? I mean, other than glib replies through "No-Reply" emails?
 

Seriously guys, less lip service about customer care and more customer care would be a good step forward.
 
Sincerely,
 
Ludwig

Thanks Mettellus, I missed that thread. Doesn't change the fact that Slate is willing to talk to me though :O)

16 crashes in two hours - always Slate vs Sonar. A new world record perhaps?

if you're contacting cake via email they are notorious for not replying

eta, this forum is no guarantee of a response

I don't want to aggravate your aggravation, Ludwig, but an unhandled exception raised by a DLL is more likely to be an issue within the plugin rather than the host.

slate is willing to talk and cakewalk is working with slate on it, that thread said right there that they have sent a ton of data to slate.
the way I look at it is its slates plug in that's causing you the problem, so why wouldn't they wanna talk to you?
I don't blame cakewalk as much as I do slate. slate can always put out an update, if cakewalk could just put out an update to fix this, don't youthink they would have ?
since x2 ? I actually thought its been since x1, I would think if cake could they would have already in the last 2 versions.
its probably got something to do with stevens bizarre protections. lol
 
we have a lot of plug ins that work just fine, but slates isn't ?
kinda throws the red flag right there. IMO.
 

Could be since X1 - I've lost track. What puzzles me is that I seem to be the only one having this issue - I see no one else mentioning on this forum. SO, what, do I demand a refund from Slate and loose a great plugin? And no, PC Console Emulator does not come NEAR VCC in terms of sound quality..

I was actually hoping to nip this one in the bud since I pulled that thread from this one. http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/2923478 CW has commented to you directly, so making the claim that they have not didn't sit quite well with me.
