LynnEd, try opening a project begun in an earlier version of X3 and see if your settings are the way you saved them. I'm having no problem with a new project begun in X3e, just earlier projects.
LynnAfter upgrading to X3e, many of my vst's were reset to 0. I lost 2 hours on the mix I was working on the day before by having to go through each plug in and reset every thing. This happened with the Blue Nomad plugs, as well. I'm just hoping that all my older projects haven't been affected, but I'm not holding my breath.
