have you ever tried that snow on a windows PC?

maybe there's a problem with the Snow RTAS plugin in combination with Intel CPU?
(on PC there's a separate plug-in .dll file for the snow, so i guess on MAC it's similar)

got no clue of TI Snow or MAC ... but i think it would be worth a try to narrow down the reason.

or a VST wrapper/adapter would be worth a try, too.

yeah the reality is that it's impossible to make a piece of software be flawlessly compatible with every variance in hardware out there...so in the case of it's integration features, they are highly dependent on a good stable tested setup.... it's a hit or miss really but more hits than misses I believe at this stage in the game...I have 3 completely different setups and it SUX in one of them but the other two it performs with flying colors.

This proves my point. The TI software in itself is probably about as stream lined and bug free as its ever going to get. The Virus is a finely tuned instrument, everything is streamlined/tweaked for audio application. I have a custom built Carillon Audio PC and never experienced the problems others seem to have. Then I tried it with my regular Dell desktop and hit a number of sporadic issues that couldnt be reliably replicated.

99% of PC's built are multipurpose with bullshit components and drivers/software/code that hasnt been updated for years. All this junk bullshit code floating around the motherboard is bound to cause problems with a sensitive system such as Total Integration. I have said time and again, I honestly dont think the problem nor the responsibility is entirely Access's. They should not be expected to troubleshoot the average bedroom studio, hobbyists bullshit computer set up.

I think its very nice that Access are seen to be trying to improve the situation with their regular updates. I for one believe them when they say they have been unable to replicate the issue on their own machines in the office/factory.

I bet any of you £10 that if you were to use a purpose built audio pc that has no junk compoments/software then the overall response, performance and reliability of your Virus TI (and music software in general) will be a hell of alot better.

Thats just my opinion....
