Bug Corroboration Needed - Clone Track Issue (More Users Confirm!)

Hi Gang...
 
I posted a problem report about this a little while ago and I got back a status report to contact tech as it appears to be working and must be system specific...
 
The problem is with the ProChannel Post Status button... If I have it enabled and I clone the track, the cloned track does NOT have the Post status enabled...
 
I have tried this on two machines here...
 
1) MacPro/bootcamp/Win7x64 (dual 3.2GHz Xeons/16GB RAM Presonus Audiobox 1818VDL+Soundsscape SS8io-1 via ADAT
 
2) Below spec dual core running Vista32 with a Soundscape Mixtreme 192
 
Tech support tried on a number of machines but it works fine there....
 
It exhibits this on both machines... Common denominator? they were both installed from the same disk for X2 and the same d/l for X2a.... and I'm not prepared to re-do the install for such an issue.... PITA, but not worth the work of re-doing all the setup I have...
 
So for the moment, I'm just trying to see if there are any other users out there who experience this...
 
Again, the recipe is simple....
 
Start a new project.
Enable PC on an audio track
Set the PC to Post
Clone the track with all options selected (except link to original clip)
 
Then check the PC status on the cloned track and see if it is set to Post (enabled)...
 
Much thanks for anyone/everyone's help...

[edit]
 
BTW I just ruled out eh X2 disk (install) or the X2a update (d/l) as it happens on both machines even as far back as X1 Expanded... so I'm surprised I took this long to notice...

  I followed your instructions and the cloned track came up with PC being post FX bin. It works as expected. 

Cloning a track here does NOT retain post FX bin setting on the cloned track.

X2a 64-bit on Win7-64 
Intel core I5 8GB RAM

Sorry Keni -
 
Post FX sticks here too - - - Specs in sig.  :  )

Keni - I opened a new project - inserted a track.  Set PC to Post and cloned it.  The new track retained the Post.  Turned off Post on track 2, cloned it, track 3 cloned as expected.  Went back to track 1 (with Post on) and cloned it.  The new track DIDN'T retain the post.  Cloned Track 1 again and the new track again DIDN'T retain the post status.

So at first it appeared to work, but after cloning other tracks and going back to the original, it started mis-behaving.

I remember having this issue in X1 also.  Since the advent of PC effects bins in X2, I always work to leave the post off so that I don't accidentally get tricked by this problem.

I'm running Window7 64bit - i5 quad core processor.

Keni - A little OT - have you ever tried running vmware Fusion 5 instead of bootcamp?  Supposed to work really well - can run Sonar within the Mac OS without losing any resources or processing power or memory.  Sounds interesting - I'm thinking of getting a Mac.

Thanks Guys!

It looks as tho we have uncovered something...

Now to get The Bakers to look into it! I'll add a note to my problem report but it would sure help if everyone finding this reports it as well so t gets noticed for sure!

Even though I didn't experience it I think its an important find and it should be reported. 

Keni did a good job in spotting this. I don't know if I would have noticed if it had happened to me. 

Hi John...
 
Thanks, but sure you would notice it... things will typically sound very different changing the pre/post setting of this and as you already know what it should sound like before the cloning, you expect it to sound the same on the cloned track... It took very little investigation to find that the status was wrong and then realize how it happened (a few trial and error moves)...
 
As they already closed my report as unable to reproduce, I just started another and included the CWBRN of the original... I also included a note for them to check this topic in the forum...
 
Here's hoping they do so we can try to track this bugger down! ;-)

Hi Keni.

I've just tried this on one of my systems and the Post Fx sticks when cloning a track.

Ill try it on my other machines later on and report back

Thanks for checking it Jonesey...

Much appreciated...

I get the same results as guitartrek, if I turn off Post on a different track and go back to the original track and clone it again with Post still on, the Cloned track has Post turned off.

Thanks Dan...

We're starting to see something in common and repeatable now...(Tho here it always clones off/pre)
