All good here. Loaded H Delay - at each bar loaded a new preset and took a snapshot.

Then played backed and all the parameters changed accordingly at the snap shot points

Hope this helps

Pardon me if I'm stating the obvious, but did you have the 'All Data Types in the effects window' option selected in the Automation Snapshot window, I only mention this cos I often forget.
1) yes, I did select "all datatypes" when doing snapshots. 2) if you wouldn't mind, can you try copying pasting on the fly, in other words, at bar 10 or whatever, copy plug in on the fly, and somewhere later, paste in and see if dp registers the new paste. Yother test would be to adjust all parameters, and then instead of hitting snapshot at that point, hit copy, then paste in, and then see if the data sticks
Will check first thing tomorrow. It's 1.30am here in the uk. Gonna get some zzzzzzs

I had a great session all day on 9.1. AMAZING. 128 setting all day and it felt like 1024 operating wise but there was no latency. Yet the drummer was in there telling me he had never felt the TD 30 Roland set "FEEL" to great. NOT ONE CRASH. I used to get a crash or two everytime I tracked at 128. I just had to pray I would get through. I would turn off everyplug or just do a stereo mix with no drums and even then it was trouble. Today on a 50 plus track song loaded with plugs the performance meter never broke a sweat. THIS IS A GAME CHANGER...

I should add that I was extremely careful and repeated this test 3 times. That includes putting away everything, resetting the scope, turning off the interface, taking stuff back out, hooking it back up and repeating the test with a fresh project in each DAW.

The numbers were dead on consistent.
Thank you Robert. Appreciate the test and reporting.

What is it at 128? Doubled 64>

Then I captured the signal on my DSO and measured the timing difference to ~0.01ms

It is a busy day for me learning the Raven. I am kind of putting off the DP 9 update. Anything improved about Raven functionality in 9.1?
If 9.1 fixes snap shot automation, I will have to get to it soon. That is my biggest issue with the recent DP versions.

Raven worked great with DP 9.1 all day.

The Slate Raven is in essence a low cost MULTI touch screen DAW mix surface with a graphic touch button quick key/automator program. It has quick keys to access VI's and Plugins. It breaks the dependency of solely relying on the mouse and qwerty keyboard to interface with a DAW. Ergonomically it is superior to a hardware controller like the Mackie MCU Pro. The big mixer uses scribble strip pics to make mixing recognition of tracks much easier. Exploit it for these features.

In messing with Raven, I wanted to add some EQ to something. Thought of the prospect of snap shot automation work arounds I do and thought, hell with it, Im taking the plunge to see what 9.1 brings me... :woohoo: Stay tuned

Tried all of the above, played with it very which way I could think of (copying and pasting; snapshots, continuous adjustments etc) and it was fine at this end. I used H Reverb this time as it's more graphic with it's display. Fine at this end

maybe I'll try a fresh file. This was a long term verified bug so why it is not fixed on my system and is fixed on yours is a mystery

One thing worth perhaps trying is trashing the preferences and creating them anew?

This is probably a dumb question, but please bear with me.....

Where is the option to run all current and future plug-ins in real-time instead of pre-gen?

I haven't messed with this since it was introduced years ago, but I thought it was in the audio-plug-ins pane in preferences?

Or is it somewhere else?

I mean to just set this globally, not with each in every plug-in in it's own mini-menu.

I like running everything in real-time, not pre-gen.

Thanks!
