Hi, Harry,
 
did you test BARK within the real 5.1 project for example in Nuendo? I use the latest Nuendo 4.2.2, and actually have started to use BARK for my 5.1 project since yeterday even bought BARK a few month ago. My project set-up is the same to any 5.1 projects mean it has the same output buses, etc., like any other. What I realized was, BARK in 5.1 environment has distort an output sound a lot. I have tried to apply BARK just to stereo track - everything works fine then; another switch to 5.1 - the same distortion... What do you think about this?
 
P.S. For the validity of the experiment I use BARK only w/o any additional plugs, just to put one as insert plug to my track.

Strange, because I have HP's xw8200 w/2x Xeon 2.8GHz @ 3Gb of RAM working under Win XP (not even hungry Vista)... I own UAD, and I can load up to 6-7 plugs simultaneously w/o any problem... Any idea of how I can test BARK within my working environment?

Hi, Harry,
 
well, the newest update just came, so I have tested one actually... What I saw, nothing is changed for me unfortunately. My test procedure was the following,
 
1. I have created just a simple stereo track, also stereo output bus, imported some stereo file, and insert BARK - everything works fine,
2. I have created 5.1 track, also 5.1 output bus, imported the same stereo file, and insert BARK - distortions appeared,- well, maybe because of I use stereo in 5.1,
3. Well, I moved BAR into i2 inserts slot, and placed Waves's UM226 stereo/5.1 upmixer on top to get 5.1 signal as input to BARK - sure, I saw 6 bars at IN meter, also 6 bars at OUT meter that means BARK is started to work in 5.1 - distortions STILL appeared...  
 
Any suggestions of how I Can test this plug?
 
P.S. Forgot to say, REFLECT works fine in the below mentioned set-up - any distortions...
