Occasionally. It doesn't freeze the PC for me, but it does freeze Vegas. It does this in both Vegas 4 and 5. Also happens occasionally when adding or removing a plugin on the fly.
Makes me remember to hit "save" more often...

I've been wanting the UAD-1 plugs for awhile, and I commend all of you having these problems for being so patient with your "work arounds".
But after working as Todd Rundgren's assistant for many years, If I had the UAD-1 and these bugs happened, the "work around" I learned from him -would be to carefully remove the card from the PCI slot and then SMASH IT TO SMITHERENES!!!!!
my audio computer, sound card, and uad cost about the same as my 12-bit sampler (mono w/ no effects or eq) and my atari st did 10 years ago. a midi-only sequencer was around $300.
now which setup would you rather have?
i think having to learn workarounds and deal with code limitations is part of the tradeoff in having so much power and one i'll gladly except.
you didn't think the power AND stability of a hardware recorder or a protools TDM system would be this cheap did you?
there has to be a catch. find out what it is and go make some records.
Customers often have a hard time putting things into perspective. They expect to pay LESS now to make an album than 20 years ago, but dont want to put up with the lack of auto input or constant crashing
It didn't seem to be a smooth relationship. UA took over their own sales and authorization responsibilities. The new UA web-based authorization and plug-in tracking is amazing and works great. Best I've seen.

sorry guys, bullet proof here on my system with 2 UAD-1 cards. I can solo and mute like crazy and things are looking good.
