Group--- i'm guessing this is 'user error' but I cant figure out how to see two of the same audio plugins at the same time (to approximately match settings)
I can only see one at a time.
 
 

You have Plugin Recycle on.

Hello,
 
Not at the workstation right now but I know that there is a setting that deals with how plugins display and that you can modify that behavior.  Please check preferences?? or hopefully a forum friend will come on and detail specifically where it is located.  I will check in later to see how this goes.. IHTH

Try ctrl+click on the plugins, that way they stay open and you can open many by ctrl+clicking

Shane,
 
You can pin them one at a time by clicking on the pin icon in the upper right hand corner of each FX.
 
Seems like I read about a global switch, but I'm not finding it at the moment.

It is a new feature to recycle plug-in windows. The posts above detail how to open more than one window. There is a preference setting to revert to the old behavior Preferences > File > VST Settings "Recycle Plug-in Windows." For more see http://www.cakewalk.com/D...p=NewFeatures.18.html#

Thanks all. I'll undo this when I get back in front of it.
 
I honestly cant see how this would EVER be of use. Maybe that's just me.

This is a new feature. Basically it won't clutter your workspace if you have are trying to open different plugins. But as mentioned, you can disable it.

I'm on the fence about it. I used it on a SMALL project yesterday and didn't mind it at all, but on my bigger mixes I'm often comparing settings and like to have multiple UI's open. 
 
It would be better if it enabled some kind of simple key-command cycling through of things, like a down arrow to jump to the next track's compressor, or some such. Though determining and editing the order would be a giant headache I reckon.
