I just tried this. Much to my surprise…1-2 seconds load time. I was curious because earlier today I tried out another rackspace with the plugin. The load time was 30-45 seconds. It couldn’t find my Cory Wong plugin…I guess because of a different folder storage. I replace the plugin with mine and it loaded in 2-3 seconds.
But, just now I tried loading that gigfile again…3 seconds.
I can confirm the issue on MacOS Mojave. Version 1.0 VST3 would load almost instantly. Version 2.0 VST3 takes about 30 seconds (new insert or duplication).
Internet is on. No problems with loading the other plugin types (VST or AU). Even when using BlueCat Patchwork as a plugin in GP, then loading Cory Wong VST3 into that → it loads instantly.
No…this was with 1.0. Just now I installed 2.0 and the load time was 30 seconds…with or without internet. Of course without internet the iLok app was complaining about no connection. So, later I’m going to make that activation local.
