PC not wanting to activate

This is 100 percent reproducible for me.

1. New Project
2. Drag Loop into Track View to create wav file. Loop selection with shift+L
3. Play loop
4. tweak track ProChannel compressor- it activates A-OK
5. Open Master Bus Pro Channel by selecting from footer of audio track pc, or clicking on MBus in console
6. tweak master bus ProChannel compressor. Nothing doing
7. <Workrounds> i)use global on/off switch on MBPC and on/off switch on MBPC compressor. ii) import instance of SSL Duende Buss Compressor!

If after getting the loop playing I tweak the master bus compressor first it starts up no worries, then I tweak the track compressor dials that starts up also.  (edit: My computer is 64 bit and is running W7).

    Do you have a custom default template?
    If you have a project or template where a ProChannel module was enabled and then subsequently disabled, it won't auto-enable again.  That is remembered per module, per track per project.  Removing a module and adding it back will of course reset it for that module.  Or, deleting the track or bus and adding it back will also do same (if you need to resave the template).

    Hey Keith,

    I'm just use the generic Cakewalk "normal" template. One weird thing is that it after a reboot it doesn't happen the first time I open Sonar, or even the second time (I kept trying today as I couldn't replicate it), but eventually it started happening again. I'll fill out a bug report if it keeps happening and help you guys to resolve it- the anomaly doesn't really bother me.


    <Edit: I'm not going to bump this thread for such a trivial thing. The unintended behaviour occurs on my w7, 64 bit, i7, 8gig. I could not reproduce the results in my music room on my music rig- vista,32 bit, dual core, 4 gig. CakeAlexS: you're probably right about sig lines but I can't be bothered. p.s. are you calling yourself a big pussy in yours?>
