Is that happening to you? Is anyone else having issues with Slate plugs?

I'm fairly certain that MOTU is aware of this, and so is Slate.

I have the same issue with the slate plug-ins, but I only have the VMR freebies. For now I just don't use them.

Why? Steve was still at the helm for the change from Lion to Mountain Lion, and that was the worst disaster on my rig I can remember.

This is how digital tech goes. Jobs didn't prevent it, because it can't be helped. Unless some company decided that this version of whatever was the most advanced and most stable version ever and never wrote another line of code, this will always be the case with everything.

Still never upgrading to this version until I have the ability to completely disable the Pre-Gen engine, and can be sure I won't get audio dropouts while editing and random audio glitches when BTD or merging soundbites. Don't have time for that crap.

Perfect example of the YMMV principle at work. Mountain Lion was one of the best OS's I ever put on my rig and in some ways I wish I had it back.

Yes. These are pesky problems. I love editing while listening to the sequence and those drops give me fever :-)

Couldn't agree with you more. There must be a reason (worse bugs?) for not allowing users to disable Pre-Gen entirely, but 9.1 (and 9.12) is half-baked. For now I'll keep using DP for arranging and MIDI of my own projects as it's what I know best and so deep in that department, but for all serious client audio work/mixing I'll be in Pro Tools...

Globally disable pre-gen presence option is a must.

MOTU needs to get this bug-fix/revision out immediately.

I really can't understand why it already has not happened, considering all the problems with the 9.1x stuff.

This is the first upgrade disaster I've seen in DP (formerly Performer!) since I've been using it for like 20-smeothing years?

Usually people unaccountably complain a bit and then shut up when they realize the stuff is actually working pretty well, but this thing this specific time has been a complete mess.

They are working on it.

I can assure you that they're not just sitting on their hands ignoring the complaints. I say this as one of the complainers about the pre-gen issues and performance regressions.
