Thank you Cakewalk Support ! CWBRN-6287
Kudos to the support team for a great experience today. Yesterday I opened a new case involving one of those pesky "you have too many plug-ins" messages everytime I started Sonar Expanded. The strange thing was that I had changed NOTHING between X1C and Enhanced. I've been sending messages back and forth with them today and they were timely, professional and helpful. I feel confident they'll get this worked out although I am a bit confused about how I have over 600 plug-ins as that doesn't sound right. Either way I'm feeling that support was great an we'll see a fix at some point. "We were able to replicate this behavior by scanning over 600 or so plug-ins. In the past, this limit in plug-in count could be worked around by creating a custom plug-in layout. It seems something has changed with this particular version of the plug-in manager that is causing this work-around to no longer work. We do have a recipe to reproduce this now though, so we have all the information we need to move on and get this resolved. In the meantime, the only work-around we have is to go to the Cakewalk Plug-ins Manager, go to VST Audio Effects section, select a handful of registered plug-ins (SHIFT + Left Click will select multiple), and then click the [Exclude Plug-in] button. If you can get the count below 600 the message should go away. We apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime. Best regards, Cakewalk Problem Tracker"
