Agreed! @Robin_Lobel is a talented developer but I believe Steinberg should step in and offer to take the load off because this is too much work for one developer.
I believe the problem here is optimization. The TRUTH is that Spectralayers needs optimization (especially on the GUI end) and I believe the developer is well aware of these issues, however posting about these issues here is not the solution.
If you(@Sunnyman ) really want these types of issues resolved then my advice is to PUBLICLY post a video about it on youtube and title your video “VST’s does not work in spectralayers”. Yes! It’s a little “passive-aggressive” but once enough people see it and Steinberg gets ready to do another one of those yearly updates, then it gives them(Steinberg) no choice but to confront the issue. All it takes is for someone(like you @Sunnyman ) to give Steinberg bad publicity and then when they(Steinberg) are ready to do these yearly updates and advertise Spectralayers 12, people will see your video and say to themselves “well! If I can’t use my VST’s and it’s buggy and choppy and glitchy then I’m not going to update nor give Steinberg my money!”.
