Bridged plugins losing settings ???

Post by dpg4macman »

Hello everyone,

I just discovered I am losing my plugin settings for my bridged plugins (jbridge) upon closing a session. When I open the session later the plugin is at default. All the tweaking I've done has been lost.

(Upgraded Mac to OS X Mavericks and DP 8.0.5)

Anyone else having this concern - If so what to do other than avoid 32 bit bridged plugs?

Thanks, mvh

Can't speak for bridge, but in Plogue Bidule this has never been a problem.

What plug ins is this happening with? I think I recall seeing this recently but I can't remember what circumstances.

Not sure why that would be happening. I only use one plugin bridged via J-Bridge, and it saves all my user settings. (Stephen Slate's FG/X)

Ahh so you are using jBridge with FG-X. Have you tried checking the "Performance Mode" option? So far it hasn't seemed to affect stability and it REALLY reduces the CPU hit of FG-X! Also, try out the option to always keep GUI on top. It does pop up a warning when you enable it, but it hasn't given me any problems and I think you can indeed control transport while adjusting the GUI.

Crysonic and Ozone4 - never had any issues before. I'm away for a week so not able to explore options but appreciate the recommendations. I can't imagine it being anything I am doing since I haven't changed any of my work habbets (that I know of) knowing if anyone else was experiencing this concern will assist me in a diagnosis. I've check the preferences, etc.. with no luck. At the scratching my head point for now.

Crysonic makes a bunch of different plugs. Which one is forgetting settings? I have some of their plugs so want to see if I can reproduce.

Ahhh okay. I think I purchased that but I haven't used it in a long time. I remember it used to have a ridiculous CPU hit. Maybe now that I have a faster machine and they may have a more optimized version I'll try it and see if I get the same results.
