I've confirmed myself that the Waves Chris Lord Alge plugins do not stay set to the settings I've made to them when I re-open X3D. It's a bit un-nerving because I've had to basically recreate the mix. So my workaround has been to save as a user preset- on EVERY instance I have open. When I open the project with those plugins I THEN have to go to all of them I have on any track and re-load my user preset. It's a PITA. However, I couldn't say if it's Sonar or Waves issue- but it's an issue.
The easiest way to avoid the problem is to NOT use SONAR's preset picker and to use the preset picker from the Waves UI. The waves issue is that the plugins are not working properly in VST3 unless the default preset (preset 0) is selected while saving and loading. Apparently that doesn't change the current preset as reported to the host although it picks the right preset inside the plugin.
