![]() Each time there is a Slate update, I install it, and on the first Sonar startup, the plugins get scanned by Sonar. In Sonar Platinum, I've never had an issue with Slate plugins not loading. I'd much prefer a system without Ilok, just on principle, but in practice, Ilok really isn't that bad, at least for me. When it arrived, I plugged it into a free USB slot, and went through the licensing process. Slate sent me the dongle free when I subscribed. I can stop my subscription anytime, and start up again anytime I want. When I started my subscription, I paid 19.99 via Paypal the first time, and each month, I pay 19.99. The 24.99 subscription price also includes the additional LX480 Reverb plugin. I subscribed to the Slate subscription as soon as it was made available. I would be okay if I could run some of the Slate Plugins (not "thousands") on my tracks AFTER tracking is mostly complete and use the Quick Freeze or just freakin' commit and bounce things down (it's really hard to commit isn't it?) to do final tweaks and mixdown. That totally fixed my sync issues as well as some random dropouts. This confounded me until I learned about Sonar's most underrated feature for performance: QUICK FREEZE! (if you don't know what this is, you need to look it up). REALLY bad, where I had to slip edit the track into shape with the others. So far, so good except I did notice that when I started recording some new tracks into a project that was loaded up with plugins and pro channel mods, the audio would be out of sync. I mean NONE, and I am ABUSING the pro channel on every channel of audio in my sessions. I was bummed until I got ASIO on everything and now it is NO latency. That was giving me a noticeable lag when I would use input monitoring on something like Amplitube 3. It took me a while to figure out that I had ASIO set on one preference but WDM on playback. I guess I should have mentioned that I have an Intel Core i7 with 8GB of RAM, using a Tascam US-2000 interface (USB 2.0) with ASIO drivers on "Lowest Latency". There is a thread on iLock in the Hardware section if you are having issues with that. What the freak is he running?Anyway, this is long enough to get started. ![]() Slate swears you can put "thousands" of instances on your tracks.
