I don't know what it is with this software, but if something can go wrong this stuff is it. I have 2 entirely different systems. 1 is a high end (in it's day) lenovo W541 Notebook and the a high End DAW Tower Box. Both have 32GB Ram, good video, CPU, name it. We are not lacking resources here.

V-11 has always been a buggy thing, when Sony had it. So I tried to put V-15 on my notebook. That install failed as it looked at hundreds of VST plugins. Reaper loves them but this sure does not. Failing that I tried V-15 on the Tower box I got. It loaded and I became hopeful. I go in and load up some video. Then anything I touch sound related wise locks up Vegas 15. So I load V-16 trial. When I try to register NewBlueFx it fails and says a "An error occurred during sign in - Email and password are required. Cool, so they why does my user account here work? At this point I am on a slow boil as I really need to get a video out the door. So I go back to Vegas 11... hey as long as I save every 3 keystrokes at least it runs soft of. I import my video and all is good except it nukes the sound track. Cool... Next I put on Vegas 14 on the Tower Box. All is well until it does the same exact thing as V-15. So there would appear to be a conflict. Yeah With an RME 802 AI that is the most up to date drivers on the planet? Hum. Knowing I am done for on the tower box I try to load V-14 on the notebook since the audio and drivers there are different. Well can you guess what was next? Yeah the registration system pukes again. Cool... at this point I am so stinking mad at all this I am ready for another platform.

Do others have these kinds of experiences with this software?

Has anyone been able to solve such issues with sound?

I hate to be negative and point fingers but I think this software has earned that, at least on this end.

20+ year IT Systems guy, So were we got decent HW and no newby here. I guess what I lack is decent SW?

Any help that can be given will be appreciated much.

Thanks,
