UX1 & POD FARM & SONAR 7.0

I am becoming increasingly annoyed with POD Farm VST plug-in in Sonar 7.0. It is the only plug-in that does not "kick in" when the project is loaded and played.  I use IK ampeg, fender, and Hendrix plug-ins that all actuate, POD Farm smetimes remembers, but I usually have to re-start the PC or other actions.  I use XP SP3 with 4GB memory, a TASCAM FW-1082 controller, and good PC speed.  I plan to move to Windows 7 in a few weeks, but until then, is there any other complaints on this?  Please advise.  -Edwin

    Hello,

       

      Can you describe exactly what you mean by "kick in"?

       

      How are you able to reproduce this behavior? Can you share the recipe with me? Thanks.

      What is meant by "kick-in" is that lets say there are four separate guitar tracks in Sonar, each with different POD Farm amp settings.  Once the project is loaded in Sonar, the tracks will play the guitar without the POD Farm effects/settings.  So, I then do things like re-scan plugins in Sonar (which never is the problem because I can see it in the plugin manager), or sometimes change the amp in POD Farm which sometimes works, or sometimes exit Sonar and re-start the PC, which sometimes works.  As far as repeatable, multiple POD Farm tracks don't "kick-in" almost everytime I use the application.  FYI, I don't have the problems with IK Hendrix, IK Fender, or IK Ampeg for whatever reason.  -Ed

    RE: UX1 & POD FARM & SONAR 7.0

    OK thanks for clarifying. So if I were to try to produce this behavior i would:

       

      - create a new session in Sonar

      - create 4 audio tracks and record audio on each track

      - load up an instance of POD Farm plug in on each track and make sure that the audio is being processed

      - save and close the Sonar session

      - open the saved Sonar session and verify the POD Farm plug ins are still instantiated on each of my 4 tracks

      - play back my session and the result is that audio is no longer being processed through the POD Farm plug in.

       

       

      Doers this recipe sound about right? Thanks.

    RE: UX1 & POD FARM & SONAR 7.0

    Hi,

       

      I wonder if the issue has to do with POD Farm Plug-In authorization, which is handled via the USB device connection to your POD Studio UX1 (it functions as the "security authorizer key).

       

      I've seen intermittent behavior of the Plug-In effect in different recording applications caused by plugging the UX1 via a USB Hub connection and when the USB port on the computer is flaky. 9 times out of 10 the solution is to try all direct USB ports on the host computer with the UX1 in hopes of finding at least one stable USB port connection that lets the host DAW program "see" the UX1 for Plug-In authorization.

       

      I'm just guessing, but you seem to have several different Plug-Ins and most likely different USB devices functioning as effect "security" keys. Please try all direct USB ports and don't use a USB hub connection. Does the behavior of POD Farm change to a consistent one in terms of "kicking in"?

       

      Regards,

      L6Perry

      I think you're onto the issue.  I changed the USB, but now I don't like the amp sounds, they sound off.  Can you peer check the configuration?  The UX-1 is USB's to my TASCAM FW-1082 (sound card & DAW), which is fire-wired to my PC.  Could there be a chain sequence type thing that is screwing with POD Farm?
