Warning, Bypass automation can fail in DP 9

[toodamnhip]

Hopefully all of you have started and updated your tech links on the issue?
I bothered to call about my issue with VSTi MIDI out, and it did seem to help it along the path.

MOTU completely ignored my last, detailed tech link on this issue. Waves points to MOTU. MOTU seems to not want to confront this issue. Speculation would lead me to believe fixing the automation issue is some sort of technical catch 22 for MOTU that they can’t confront.

I am currently VERY impressed with Pro Tools 12.5. Then I hear AVID is laying people off. Guess there are problems everywhere. This is what you get when the WORLD decides music is now “free”, and rips off an entire industry. Are we all dinosaurs?..lol

I started going through my 3rd party plugins with 9.02 These were all checked in mono, so that's what I'm reporting on, here's what I found so far
NOT WORKING c6, cla-3a, guitar stomp, kramer tape, r-eq, scheps 73. Soft tubes tla 100.

WORKING: api 550, dbx 160,de esser, kramer Pie, ADT, RS56.

Sad because there are so many little things that make DP9 really useful, but if I can't trust the bypass automation to work then I can't really use it full time yet.
Does anyone know if the VST versions work or not. I might try those when I have time.

I haven’t tried VST. For plug ins such as an EQ etc, you can try to automate them at ZERO effect, and then have them boost and cut where needed. For plug ins that truly “color” the sound, this work around won’t work. I use this technique on EQs etc. I have found that several Waves EQs now bypass automate with 9.2, but not all of them.

When I called, not to be a gossip or anything, but the guy did mention he found my tech link on it, hadn't been read yet. I called because I wondered if there was a direct way to convert loops to real MIDI or audio, (there isn't, replace loops with 'Repeat' ), but the conversation about the problem did seem to light the fire under the VSTi MIDI out issue. I mean there isn't an update to the updated update yet, but hey, I'll give em the benefit of the doubt there.
If you haven't called them yet, I would, it might help them speed the process up. I'm about to use mute automation, and I'm hoping my VST's are on the OK list...

Did some more testing. Some plugins that don't work in mono do work in stereo. Auto tune 8.1 does not work but Auto tune 7 does. As I work my way through my plugin list I'm keeping notes.

SO we can see this is not a waves issue but most likely a DP issue. And isn’t it nice that MOTU failed to respond to my last tech links months ago?
I am surprised more members here aren;t complaining?
Sometime I get the feeling people around here don’t automate much.
KUG ins failing to bypass reliably is not a small matter.
