Sound Toys 4 big problems

Post by frisbi » Fri Nov 09, 2012 12:22 pm

I have big big problems with Sound Toys 4 effects (echoboy, filterfreak, crystallizer and so on)
I'm working on Mac Os 10.6.8 and Ableton Live 8

they work for 4-5 minutes then they break down and produce a whistle
this is happening all the time and it's VERY VERY ANNOYING

it's a big problem since I cannot work without them, they're everywhere on my mixing

anyone has a similar problem?
anyone knows a solution?

I would think a mail to Soundtoys directly is a lot more helpful than posting here. They are usually quite responsive.

Yeah, contact Soundtoys directly, they're quite helpful. I even talked to them on the phone once, it's a family business. Sounds like it's a major headache though, hope you can get the problem figured out. Good luck

Can anyone tell me if these issues have been resolved? I'm trying to decide between Sound Toys and Uhbik. Thanks in advance

maybe something wrong with the iLok activation has reverted them back to demo-state?
Soundtoys is great but iLok can be a pain in the *ss sometimes.
