Out of curiousity... who is having problems with plugs in Live 8? And which ones?

My only issues so far:

Battery 3 - I used to have a few crashes here and there (w/Live 6-7) trying to load patches on the fly and whatnot. Seems to be intensified a bit in 8. Nothing I can't work around, but it sure sucks when you've spent a few minutes building a custom kit only to have a crash and then Live recovers the midi clip, but Battery doesn't recover the kit.

Ohmicide - Super glitchy on my machine all of a sudden. Really sucks cuz I use it a lot.

+1 for Ohmicide not working well in 8....it takes forever to change settings on the 8 beta and demo.

I haven't run into any others yet.

reFX Nexus instantly crashes on Launch. But, I'm not sure if the beta corrupted the plugin. I reported it a couple of times.

Can't be bothered to re-install, though. Running short on HD.

NI Massive and Pro5, both VSTi and AU on MBPro OSX 10.5 (latest versions ... haven't tried other NI instruments yet). When I resample on a seperate audio track, the audio level is very quiet and recording is off by about 1 measure. Tried with other instruments incl. Hypersonic and Korg Legacy with no issues.
By, the way, I've never had these problems with previous versions of Live.

I would be grateful if anybody who owns a powercore system could chime in on stability in ver8

Albino 3...It seems to stay stuck on the first bank of presets "Ambient Layered"...When I try to select any another banks of sounds, it pauses & then jumps back to the "Ambient Layered" bank! WtF?!? Friggin' pain in the arse I say. Anybody else running Albino 3 who can test & maybe concur??

Albino 3, ALL of Komplete 5 intstruments, kore 2, Sylenth 1, Hypersonic 2, arturia products and others work in Live 8.

I am running an edirol ua-25 interface with 64 bit drivers on vista 64 bit sp 1. Make sure you have the latest updates. What's key is having the right interface I think.

ditto on the ohmicide lag. I'm using 8.01 and having some noticeable delay when trying to select the little red 'snap' buttons in a user preset. hopefully the ohm guys will release a patch or something?

Stylus RMX 1.8 but it's hard to tell whether it's Live or RMX because they are both new updates.

Hate to tell you guys (Actually no I don't ), but Massive, ohmicide and all the rest work perfectly normal here (macbook pro 10.5.6)

For what it's worth, I reset my template and trashed preferences when I changed to 8.

massive crashes for me when I try to pick a preset

Oh and Stylus RMX 1.8 is also working like a champ (Amazing update to that one).

okay I got my massive to work. I had to delete this file

I'm on Windows 7 x64 build 7057

i crashed it with ZebraCM on me Mac.

Zebra2 is pretty popular i wonder if that's a prob for anyone.

Hi...same here...Battery 3: several crashes here and Albino 3. Additionally I had some strange crashes with Speakerphone 1.11. No problems with 7.014...
