waves X-noise bad on track, good on master....

Hi All,
I just downloaded and installed the waves restoration bundle form the waves website.
Funny thing is if I insert it onto a track, I get bad glitchy noise. If I insert it onto the master or a bus it sounds fine and works great.
I'm fine with that but I couldn't find any documentation about this form either sonic foundry or waves.
Anybody else experience this and or know a fix?
BTW, I think the waves X-noise plugin is the best noise reduction I have ever used!

Not sure if you want to use these as track inserts. This package is really designed for restoration type work in something like SoundForge where a noise filled source has been pulled in for a cleanup.

What kind of noise are you trying to supress in Vegas?

CHeers,

I have been suppressing tape hiss of which x-noise has been excellent for.
I am used to just inserting plugins on tracks when I have mastered or cleaned up audio in the past. For example, opening up .wav files onto a track in ProTools and adding NR or Compression to that track. Then bouncing...no need for a master track.
Now that I have VV3 runing on a laptop, I decided to try waves NR. So I opened up a file onto a track and inserted the x-noise plugin onto that track....which gave me glitchy audio. Why this plugin only works when inserted onto a master or bus only is my question, ie: is it a bug, performance issue,DirectX performance limitation, etc.
I am fine with doing that but am just curious....
Note that this plugin runs fine when inserted onto a track in ProTools via RTAS.
The waves restoration line should work fine on many apps as their documentation suggests. I would rather not use it in soundforge since I find mastering of multiple files much easier to work within a mutli track app like ProTools or VV3.
Computer is a intel 850 chipset with a P4 1.6mhz and 256 ram so there is enough juice there.

I will have to try this and see what happens. Could be just that way the plug works...maybe it needs a faster hard drive or something. You did mention laptop - I still believe that laptop hard disk is still a wee bit slower than a standard desktop drive.
