Hi All, I thought I'd share some fun news. BTW - I'm not a SSL or Behringer employee or fanboy. Just a gear *****. I've had an X-Touch and Extender for a few years. Although it works great for transport, faders, mute, solo and record, it was always a little frustrating controlling plugin effects. So I recently added a SSL UC-1 to control plugin effects and it works great, and also plays nice with the X-Touch. Which is ideal right now since the budget is a little tight to add a SSL UF-8 and UF-1. Once the UC-1 is setup in SSL 360 (choose MIDI CC as a DAW), as an MCU controller in Sonar, and set to the proper SSL MIDI port you can use it to control supported SSL vst3 plugins directly. They're already pre-mapped. Any third party plugins can be controlled (e.g., UAD SSL E Channel Strip out of the box) or mapped using the SSL 360 vst3 plugin. So now I have 16 physical faders and finally a "frustration-free" physical plugin effects controller. The goal is to learn to mix with my ears again and not my eyes - mouse-free! So far, so cool. Just thought I'd share. Reply with any questions.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

Thanks for the reply. No, it does NOT reset when closing/opening Sonar. Just rebooting. Thanks again

I'm having an issue with Sonar still displaying high memory usage after closing a project. I have to reboot to "reset" the System Memory Usage displayed in the Sonar System Performance Meter. Attached is a screen shot including the Performance Meter after closing a project still showing 38% or about 28 GB. However, the Memory Usage for Sonar displayed in the Task Manager/Performance tab displays 7 GB related to this screen shot. Thoughts? Thanks!
