Anyone else thoroughly annoyed with the new VST instrument rack? I just wanted to quickly see if maybe i’m the idiot here, and am doing something wrong. I’m having one HELL of a time adjusting to it. My biggest quandry, is one that’s so simply its almost silly: when I hit F11, there’s a good 2-3 second lag before the rack pops up… and sometimes NOT AT ALL! Like, I almost have to DOUBLE-CLICK F11 to get it to come up.
Is there a way I can do away with this in some setting preference somewhere and revert to the standard VSTi list?? That one had NO lag, and popped up every single time i hit F11, not just when it felt like it.
It’s REALLY putting a damper on the creative process here. Not to mention, i can only see a few of them at a time, not a whole bunch like before. ARGH! I hate adjusting to new stuff when you’re in the groove of the old way. But then, i guess nothing would get improved.
just got back into the studio and freshly installed 7.5 so i havent had enough time to give a valid opinion (in my opinion;))
but…
so far so good…- f11 brings up the rack instantly (no lag whatsoever) - mind you , my machine is a core2duo…
No issues with new vst rack here pops up instantly and I actually like it more than the old one, it was one of the reasons I updated to 7.5. It reminds me of Reason
Hmm… on windows 8.1 here and don’t see it either. Just opened 10 instances of halion sonic and loaded up some instruments in each to see if it would slow it, but it’s still snappy. Do you notice this to happen as you add more instruments, 3rd party instruments, or as your RAM fills up perhaps? Or does it do it right out of the gate, no instruments loaded at all?
This is clearly a Mac issue, and takes up to 5 seconds on m y Mac with 20+ instruments loaded.
My workaround is to use Workspaces, and have the instrument rack loaded, bit hidden behind the project. When you need it, just cmd ` and it comes to the front instantly.
When you change workspace, it’s loaded up quietly in the background.
Yeah, the OP has windows listed in his signature, so unless he’s talking about behavior on a different machine, then sounds like he’s seeing it on that platform as well. I still can’t personally reproduce the issue though.
Could be a buglet but try a simple attempt to fix first by defragging your Cubase drive a couple of times. On some systems this is useful to do after any major installation or update, including any Windows updates. No harm to the system and it might sharpen up some things.
