What's With ProChannel and Freeze?

Am I getting confused once again here...

If I freeze a track that is using ProChannel, The icons stay lit as active even tho the device appears disabled... If I click it "off" and on it becomes active again...

Is it "bypassed" and the toggle is over-riding the bypass? Is there no indication that PC is frozen/baypassed or not?

Aged & confused...

Much Thanks...
Keni

    Hi

    There are known bugs with ProChannels on-off buttons.

    More precisely, they often stay lit (blue) after you save an re-open your project, even when you deactivated them before.
    This should be fixed in patch b.

    Concerning your problem, I managed to reproduce it right now.
    I hope it will be fixed too.

    Regards

    Thanks for that confirmation Damien...

    I thought I remembered reading some issues such as that...

    Is ProChannel supposed to be included in the Freeze or must it continue to run? Is this part of the reason for the minimum requirements jump? PC can't be frozen? I guess as it's not a plugin...?

    I'll have to experiment a little more with some radical changes and a/b them...

    Well...

    It does appear to be included in both freeze and bounce... so it seems to be only the on/off status both apparent and actual that is the issue... along with the fact that it does not visibly let you know that it's by bypassed (guessing that's what it's expected to do?)

    I confirm ProChannel is included in the Freeze (which is normal, after all).

    It's just that the buttons are out-of-sync.

    Thanks Damien...

    I'm hoping they realize we need indication of it's frozen status as we do with the fx bin plugins... they grey out to different color when in"bypass" mode as Freeze sets the bin after it's application. What will tell us that the Prochannel is in a similar state of Freeze? Simply turning them off doesn't tell you... I hope they've made some indicator for the update...
