Has anyone tried Ultra Analog VA-2 in X3? Whenever I insert it, X3 stops responding and have to perform a reboot. When it hangs, the status says, processing track but it never goes any further. I am able to run VA-2 in standalone mode without any problems. I must say, this is one of the best sounding analog synth I have heard.

It seems to be fine here.  I just picked it up last night and barely had time to install it and register it and play for a few minutes, but I am able to insert it and play it OK.
What little I've tried does sound pretty nice!

Thanks Genghis, this is the only Synth I have that will not load, are you runing the 32bit or 64bit version of X3?

I'm in 64bit. How about you?

64bit as well, crap! I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I will see if the synth will work as a plugin in another host on my system when I get home from work. Thanks again for checking.

Just gave that one a test on Win8 64bit and the demo seems to be running OK for in X3 x64. I suggest doing a reset and rescan of your plug-ins under Preferences | VST Settings

Thanks Lance, I have not tried that, I will give it a try this evening. I am runing Windows 7 64Bit.

Could this be a permissions issue? I installed VA-2 as admin, and run SONAR as admin, and it works perfectly for me here (x64 too).

Just for the record, I'm having the same problem.
 
Mine is happening both in Sonar X2a Producer & Cubase 7.
 
For the sake of repetition, here's my post about this:

...I'm hearing both pros & cons about this upgrade...
 
Well it turns out that you may be right spot on about this Carl.
 
I'm able to open, run & activate it just fine in stand alone mode, but in Sonar & Cubase, it won't work at all.
 
In Sonar X2a which is very stable, it won't even load.
 
When dragged & dropped from the Browser, Sonar freezes up at '50% loading tracks', and the UA VA-2 GUI doesn't even open.
 
In Cubase it loads up ok, but then any clicking in the GUI and the whole DAW program just flickers, and the UA VA-2 GUI hides.
 
When bringing it back into view, no bank or program changes happen at all. Clicking anywhere changes nothing.
 
I've not had this happen in Sonar or Cubase before, so I'm labeling this one as an AAS problem - especially being a new release.
 
Any one have this?

This is something I had not thought of G.
 
I'm the only one who uses that computer, so I just take all that for granted, especially since everything else works fine, but perhaps you could refresh my memory on this.
 
What step(s) do I need to do before/during the install process to make sure of this?
 
I have installed this thing twice now, with no difference in behavior, [although not everything may have been completely uninstalled - it was 3 or 4 AM - ].
 
Thanks,
