I think I found a new bug in DP9...

Post by FMiguelez »

I noticed that my template, out of the blue, shows all its assigned sends' pan to <32.

This happens to ALL my hundreds of audio and aux tracks. If they have an assignment for a send, the send pan got set to <32 "by magic".

WORSE, anytime I assign a new send, when activated, its pan will default to <32.

Can anyone confirm?

Oh, and it also changed ALL the carefully-set send volumes in ALL tracks.

Now they all are magically set to -- infinity. And newly assigned sends' volume now default at minus infinity?

I don't get it... This is not good.

Upon further experimentation, I see this ONLY happens when the track is DISABLED.

If the track is enabled, then the send's pan and volume come out correctly at -- inf and pan 0.

But my template got all messed up. ALL my sends' volume and pan were reset to --inf and <32 :|

... and now, after I reset the original settings in some tracks in my templates, I see that if I ENABLE the tracks, they come back normally, to their original settings.

So it seems the problem is> For DISABLED tracks, when one sets a send, the pan default shows <32.
And disabled tracks will APPEAR to have lost their settings (showing volume at -- infinity and the pan at <32, but once enabled, they restore (hopefully) their original values.

It's not as bad as I thought (I hadn't realised settings would come back once I enabled the tracks), but it's weird and confusing with the disabled tracks, the default pan setting.

But actually, its' QUITE NICE that now sends' volume default where they aways should have, at minus infinity :)
