Hmm.. you mean the RTAS version for Protools is still borked but the VST is working well these days?

Yup this has been my experience. The virus has it's own port on my macbook pro & VC works perfectly in Live, arps are synced, no popping or other artifacts & barely any latency. I don't push it too hard & get too crazy with the multi stuff but for what I do it suits my needs. I'm just happy I have found a way to use it reliably & can actually make some music with it. It has been a bit of a love/hate relationship with it these last few years but now I can use it without tearing my hair out it's a lot more lovey nowadays.

That sounds more like the Ultranova in a host; not perfect, but definitely usable. This does make me want to test the VC waters again, although I don't know if it will happen immediately as I just plonked down a serious amount of dough for some home improvements, and of course have all the construction hassle to deal with (can't have too many projects going at once). I was thinking that as recently as a few months ago you were still recommending against a virus purchase? But I guess if it's improved that much, I should withhold judgement until I've tried the new and improved software.
