ok, so i've installed the latest, after uninstalling the previous version. definitely works without clicks and pops... but still no bones on the latency or mix-down issues.

PLEASE resolve this, whomever out there in the world resolves such things!

and, i still cannot get the SPDIF setup working correctly with the 0404, so if anyone can help with that, it would be much appreciated.

ok, getting closer!!

so, no i've got the Virus playing through the audio track... my mistake was that i needed to set my 0404 to externally sync (open the 0404 control panel and select "external" for the sync source option).

NOW, the latency issue...

has anyone worked around this? awiki01, it seems that you have this working fine... did you figure out a way around the latency?

Could someone answer me this question on the TI? If I sell my Virus C and buy a Virus TI, will the TI be able to "read" the MIDI dumps from Sonar that I made with the Virus C. Is it backwards compatible like that? I would hate to lose the sounds on previous projects if I sell my Virus C.

painful....

but i think i'm just gonna move forward with the setup as is... i started working on this last night, stayed up most of the night... and started again in the morning, and i cannot find an acceptable "real time" solution for the latency. the best option, it appears, is, as awiki01 has suggested, recording and then using the nudge feature. it works ok... only adds a bit of additional time. thing 1 is that you have to re-record your virus tracks every time you make a change (from beginning to end, or else the nudge will be a pain to keep in sync) and then, once you are done, nudge the entire recording so it fits. i've been doing this by ear... but i'm sure i'll start making a note of how much i am nudging each time... hoping it'll be the same, and then just adjust my nudge settings so this can be a one-click operation.

if anyone has any questions, please ask... i think i've got this working acceptably at this point.

AND, keeping my eyes peeled for the "true" support of Sonar in the Virus OS/VST Control.

fingers crossed on that one.

cheers,
eric

how much i am nudging each time...

Yes - the TI will play back the patches for all previous Virus models.

Thanks for the answer, Cryophonic. I'll probably get one when/if this issue gets resolved.

I emailed Access support regarding the bounce-to-audio issue in Sonar and here is the response I just received:

Hello Dave,
Thank you for your mail. This is something which will be addressed in Sonar 7.

With best regards,

So, I guess the next question would be, when will Sonar 7 be released?

I'm re-opening this thread from about a year ago, because - despite being on Sonar 7 and the latest Virus plugin (2.7.1.0 & beta 5) - I have the problem of not being able to use any other VST synths at the same time as the Virus plugin because the latter adds huge latency to any other soft synth loaded at the same time.

I've written to both Access & Cakewalk about this, but as I haven't found any reports of this since about a year ago, has everyone here who experienced the problem, fixed it ?? I only have this problem in Sonar (which is becoming a familiar tale ...).

There is a update to the OS as of 8-21-08 9 (beta) on the Access website for those who may not know. I have not downloaded it yet, but any update is good news for TI owners.
