X2 - "Too many plugins" warning

Two reasons.

1. Actually too many plugs installed
2. You have duplicates vsts somewhere. I'd start with Rapture  (since this does install with Producer) and/or Dim Pro (in case you reinstalled).


Note: 32 bit "seems" to allow less than 64 bit. Not proven scientifically, just a feeling I get.

The "too many" warning is an undocumented feature, born of wisdom.

Your signature should list the total, and number of each type, you have installed.

We will then all be in awe.

And we will also wonder why you spend way too much of your life collecting stuff you cannot possible use.

And so on.

I know you were/are serious.

My facetiousness notwithstanding, you are wasting your life collecting what you will never use.

Stuff requires space, time, and attention. Every bit of stuff costs at least 10 times the original price.

And since there is no such thing as "Free," each thing will use more than 10 times the amount of life you use to aquire it.

To paraphrase a bit, "Be careful what you aquire. The more you have the less you get to do with any of it."

+1 to that statement :-D

I admit my list of acquired plugs is greater than what I use on a daily basis by about a factor of 76.9886765765. TBH my "too many plugs" errors cam about (mostly) due to mono and stereo versions of many plugs (UAD being the biggest list) and initially some freebies that I (gasp) never really used.


However (here comes the justification) I buy a lot so that as I collab I have available to me nearly anything anyone could throw at me in a .cwp/.cwb without having to imagine what they might have done as a starting point.


That includes all the Pro Channel modules even though I may not necessarily think of them as my go to plugs.

I find that statement funny as the time required to collect any plug amounts to minutes not hours, days or weeks. The time to collect my extensive list of plugs is probably on the order or 24-48 hours of actual work since 2006.

I have 506 plus Sonitus/DXI,or all of X2's stock/PC plugs. I deleted all my UAD mono and light versions (I have 2 UAD-2 Quads so light an mono are not typically required).


I seem to get the message when I accidentally install a duplicate plug (same plug two locations).


You'll ask how can you do that? Well, I had a "install location configuration" error on a plug and so on an update the new version was installed in a different location than the previous version. Once sorted out the error went away.


Someone once say they believed the error would occur with either 512 or 600+ plugs. I don't recall which number it was or maybe there were two different speculations.

mmmm...I have not seen this one....I do, however get the one on my start menu on vista that complains that I have too many programs pinned to my start up menu

I get it too and I think it´s stupid and an old bug..

Since I made a PlugIn Layout it´s gone..

I have too many of lots of stuff and x2 doesnt warn me


Sigh



I wish it would 



Warning too many grey hairs




Warning you ate too many calories 



Warning too much blood pressure 


Warning you're worrying too much about what you can't control 


Warning Bapu is tying to call you AGAIN 



If x2 warned me of my too many's I'd have it made

wrt seperate mono/stereo versions, this is made redundant by *cough*vst3*cough* ;)

So is the entire plug-in manager for that matter...

does the limit have a number?

does the limit have a number?

IIRC, it depends, is about as conclusive a figure that has been found so far.
 
I'm pretty sure it's around the 800 mark including any and all the DX(i)'s and VST(i)'s you have installed.
 
One of those mega Waves bundles alone must take a big chunk out of that.

Is there some way to disable the message ?

Will the same method of disabling complaints from sonar work with disabling complaints from my wife? 

is your wife virtual?

Common misconception.
The short bit of time actually downloading is only part of the time spent acquiring: Becoming aware of such, researching such, best price, payment, user name/password for sites, billing, accounting, serial numbers copied/lost/requested, how to install, ....
 
And then the rest of the lifetime costs including maintenance: watering, dusting, pruning,....
 
 

Everything has a limit at some point.... and with plugs.... every one you add requires a certain amount of processing power to allow it to run properly and in real time. 

When the computer's ability to keep everything running has been exceeded..... you might get such a warning. 

Personally, I have never seen that kind of warning because I try to use as few plugs as possible and use busses for plugs that will span several tracks. 

You might want to rethink how and why you are using a certain plug.
