BIG Problem in MC3...

What's up, everyone. For basic recording needs, MC3 works great for me. At the moment, I'm trying a new style of music, dubstep, which requires a LOT of LFO Modulation. Unfortunately, there's some problem SOMEwhere that keeps turning envelopes off!! After I play the MIDI clip through a coupole times, being able to hear the envelope modulation, they turn off. They're still visible on the track view, it's just that the LFO is no longer modulated. Could someone PLEASE help??

(Sorry about not being back in a little while.)
I'm modulating the LFO speed. TO get really technical about it...
(You probably won't care bout this part)
I'm using AM Freehand with the preset 'Woof Bass', a couple preset waveforms, and some customization of the filter and modulator envelopes.
Nothing big, it's just that the envelopes straight-up stop working after playing them through 3, maybe 4 times. One little fix I could do is remove the VST then reapply it. That might work, but I don't want to rely on it.

What I would do in this situation is bounce the track to another track. Include automation in the bounce, then archive the original track.
That way you can play it all the way through as you automated it. The archived track will still be available to use later if you decide to change anything.
Maybe an email to Cakewalk support will work.

what's the name of the VST?

Hold on, I do very well remeber 'What You Hear' being an option somewhere on there, but I'm not seeing it now... (Although a short while ago, my dad took our PC to some place to have it cealned, and I had to refix some directories and stuff. Is it a preset?) btw, thanks for the quick reply, Gh and Beagle.
 
Btw, the VSTi is AM Freehand, as in that post you quoted.

Seems to no longer be an option for me, which stinks; I'll have to reinstall the program. Later. Thanks!

Well, to jump a bt further into the matter, I'm running on Windows 7, and from my understanding, I was to set the Driver Mode to MME (32-Bit), although... I don't know for sure, but I feel like I've used it with other Driver Modes. I don't really know how to answer the soundcard question, because it seems to cover a wide range of topics. But in hopes of getting right, I'll say... I'm using a pair of heaphones, and it's a generic card. (Although I'm guessing that doesn't answer it either.)
Btw, here's the bigger problem:
I currently have a total of 12 different DXi plugins working. But I'm not able to get any more, no less go up to 16! This is a HUGE problem, because some of my tracks are using additional effects like reverbs, amps, and stuff to stack on top, but now I'm making a new audio-midi paired track for a new DXi VST, and I think I've run out of usables. what can I do?

The sound card will be whatever is listed as the recording or playback timing master under Option>Audio. Or whatever is listed as the output of an audio track.
If you think you're going to be pushing the synth/effect limit often, I recommend you come into the 21st century and get one of the new X1 programs which have no such limits.
