I must be using the wrong version, cause I don't have that on the Overview tab (my options was mistake) and don't have AT on the list, I'll start again and report, THANKS
 

I am posting to this thread just do I can find it again. My alpha track stays put away most of the time now that I have a touch screen, but I'm interested in trying to get the EQ stuff working again. I remember that as valuable back in the days of six, I think.

The only way you'll be able to get EQ working again is will Alexey's plugin and preset. Frontier's plugin is set to control the old built-in EQ which was the Sonitus, and the new built-in quad-curve EQ does not respond to its controls. Alexey's preset works well and controls EQ (and basically everything else) now.
 
@dede I'm not sure when Alexey will put the Alphatrack preset into the Release download area, for now you need to use the Testing download to see the AT preset...

Released as 0.3r9

Ok, with the test preset I could see what you guys were talking about. The Fader and Stripe send no 'touched' messages at all.
Fader still sends messages when moving, but stripe is dead.
The reason why I can't set Fader to AUTO/WRITE is because the fader won't signal it's being touched. But the other controls, like PAN work ok.
 
 
Alexey:
 
"Note that with my plug-in it is possible to tweak the configuration so it will be still partially usable. But not as good as before..."
 
Don't know what do you suggest to tweak to make this less a killer, cause the main issue is that the fader wont update, so resuming automat. recording is a nightmare producing gaps etc, but please advice if there's something to be done to get the most of this preset.
I'll keep your controller instead of the original, just for the sake of it (testing). I didn't try the EQ but if it is working a s the sonitus EQ worked, that's already a huge improvement, so congrat and thanks for this great job.
 
I'll  get into the documentation to get the most out of this, but first I really need to get the hardware fixed and that looks difficult.

Is motor still working? Check in the Overview tab that "Motor:On", "Fader touched:No", "_TmpMotor:On". Without touching anything, move fader in Sonar.
 
Without working motor, this fader is just normal not motorized, not touch sensitive... Not much I can do: switch to the Logic Tab, move the fader (you will see the Actions list). Select "Direct Linear, Manual Touch" and change (in Action Configuration section, at the bottom) "Direct -> Catch", "Manual touch -> Timeout touch". You can also try "Direct->Instant" with "Linear->Convex". The result will be far from the original, but still better then what you have now.
 
If motor is still working, you will have not touch sensitive motorized fader. I will make special preset for you in this case, since there will be quite some changed. Automation rewriting will not work good (I mean if you have some changes already), but the rest will. For the automation you can then use "pure man" solution, I can define that some Function button is the fader touch, so when you want rewrite, you press the button by one hand and do modifications by other (the way I do this with StudioMix, since its motorized faders and natively not touch sensitive...).

Thanks, I tried these modif. and can't really see any changes.
Overview tab is "Motor:On", "Fader touched:No", "_TmpMotor:On"
It seems that the Motor is gone and that killed the Touch-Sens on Fader and the stripe.
Will chase for someone to repair these (Frontier forum?) even if it's been discontinued for a while.
Cheers

People!!
Just went through some old posts in the original Frontier blog.
I found a moderator proposing a first simple solution to try on an AT whose Fader was acting funny:
 
shift+stop+f4 (recalibrate)
 
It just worked, it's fully functional again!!!

i can't believe this, at least this misadventure with (so far) happy ending has a bonus: discovering this AZ preset, having the EQ back.
I'm a happy man, thanks you all/

Hey, that's fantastic news! I would be sad to lose my AT, and I'm happy yours can still serve you a while longer... I'm also glad someone else is benefitting from the hard work that Alexey (and, to a much lesser degree, myself) put in to getting the AZ preset working as well as it does... Enjoy!
 
p.s. if you're finding Alexey's work valuable, on his site there's a 'Flowers for my wife' post in which he speculates that he might have an easier time justifying the ongoing time maintaining the plugin, if some end users buy his wife flowers once in a while. I'm going to drop something in the jar at the end of the month when CD Baby tops up my PayPal account...
