I had a very strange thing happen last night - I called up a mix for a revision - NO BASS! I had Amplitube SVX on the DI bass track, now suddenly NO SOUND is being processed. I opened it in 2 other DAWs (Mixcraft & Reaper) and it worked fine... But in Sonar X2 and X3, no go!...

... Yes, I managed a workaround... I saved the setting in SVX as a preset, then opened it in Amplitube X-Gear - problem solved... BUT, this is bugging me... Why is this happening? How come it was working fine 2 days ago and now it won't work at all? Any ideas?
 
Here are my details:
Sonar X3d Producer Edition
OS: Win 7 Professional 64 bit (Service Pack 1)
Processor: Intel Core i7 2600CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.4GHz
RAM: 16GB
Interface: M-Audio ProjectMix I/O
Also running a UAD2 Solo PCI Card for some plugins.

No ideas, but Amplitube3 has somehow frozen up on me when I've opened a project before and I have no idea why.  I couldn't turn a knob on it with my mouse or open another preset - nothing.
 
But closing X3 and opening it again has worked the 2-3 times it's happened.  I don't know...

I'm using Amplitube 2, but closing and opening doesn't make any difference.  It's a damned nuisance because clients are asking for mix recalls, & I use SVX a LOT on bass DIs...
 
I tried to trace back and think about any changes I made to my computer - the only things that changed was that I installed an updated version of the TT Dynamic Range meter (version 1.4, because version 1.1 wouldn't work in Sonar - it worked in my other DAWs though), and Windows did an automatic update.

Ok, update on this.  I found a workaround within SVX.  It seems that if I turn SVX's tuner module on the press the "mute" switch on then off, I get sound back!  Very bizarre! :confused:

These are all old 32 bit plugins aren't they? There may be problems with Bitbridge.

SVX is now part of Amplitube 3 (if you update to Amp 3 then owners of SVX and others will see those in the amp3 browser) and is also 64 bit. If you're doing this professionally you might need to update amp 2 which is a really really old program by now. It's now 3.5.1 I think.

I had an issue with A3. The standalone would not open up properly. For me, it turned out that I needed to re-install the Microsoft 2005 runtime. I haven't had an issue since.
I'm not saying that this is your problem but it was for me. If you try this, only use the runtime from Microsoft's website.

Yeah, I had the whole Amplitube 2 bundle with all the amps they ever released.  I have been extremely happy with it, and up until now, haven't had one single hiccup, so I never saw the need to download the latest & greatest.  I just downloaded Amplitube 3, and it looks like all my authorized bundles work within that framework (which actually resembles the X-Gear format in Amp 2).  This system wasn't clear to me before, & I was under the impression that I would have to spend money to upgrade, which I wasn't exactly keen to do, considering my satisfaction with the actual sounds I'm getting.
