A short while ago, we sent this out...
Hello,
You are receiving this email because you have recently downloaded an installer for the Sonalksis Essentials Mk2 series plugins.
We were informed earlier today of a bug in the VST versions of the SV-315Mk2 Compressor whereby it identified itself to the host incorrectly. As a result, installing the SV-315Mk2 can cause existing sessions containing SV-315Mk1 to open incorrectly, and using this version of the SV-315Mk2 could cause problems in the future.
The bug is fixed, and we strongly suggest that you install the updated versions, available from:
http://www.sonalksis.com/index.php?section_id=14
If your VST plug-in host reports the version number to be 2.00, then you have the fixed plugins.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause,
Sonalksis Development Team

I messed up, and the VSTs reported the wrong names/IDs to the host :( I sux.
Still, it was easy to fix, but it could potentially be a pain in the ass to you, so we fixed it immediately...
It's an obscure detail, and the only way we found it was opening sessions with both the mk1 and mk2 plugs in... Urgh.
I'm starting to conclude that I live in a world of paranoia. I'm not convinced that the installers overwrite the old plugins correctly. There's a universe of arcane logic to decide whether to overwrite or not, and flags to force overwriting... and although I've set those, there's ANOTHER layer of arcane reasoning to decide whether to ignore those flags... Urgh. I hate installers. Although, the new ones only took 1hr to build all of them, so Inno ROX as does Iceberg! :D [Even if they are predicated upon some arcane logic that i fear...]

Shit happens dude. Especially to indie audio software developers ;)
Don't stress it! I'm sure the sound of these plugs far outweighs any pain this little issue caused.
"indie audio software developers" ?
What else are there?
"the VST one is with 4in2out and 2in1out versions) at the same time.."
Please explain to me about VST sidechain
Well, VST sidechaining has to be a bit of a hack, since VST doesn't support sidechains as a protocol.
What you do is set up a 4-channel bus, and route your audio to compress to the first 2 channels... and then route your sidechain signal to the last 2 channels. Now insert the plugin on the bus, flip the Ext switch, and it gives you the sidechained compressed version! In Cubase, you'll have an easier time if you use a Quad bus.
For sidechained mono compression, a stereo bus and some panning will do the job :)
Does that make any sense?
