Plugin Window Behavior

Post by Rick Cornish »

I am working on a series of cues (one per sequence) which all have an identical track layout. I have made a template sequence and then duplicated that template to create the sequence for each cue.

As I work on these sequences, I like to have the same 3-4 plugin windows open on each. All these plugs are part of my template and are all on the same tracks and in the same insert slots on each track. I have the windows set to float and leave them open as I switch from cue to cue. When I toggle between sequences, the windows jump all around, close, or open as blank (header) windows with no plugin in them. The behavior is totally unpredictable. Going from one sequence to another and back again yields a different set of plugin windows open in different positions.

Is there any way to have the open plugin windows re-open automatically when I come back to each sequence?

Maybe a Window Set would help.
