Hello fellow Cakewalkers,

I'm having an annoying issue with my UAD v6.4 plugs and Sonar x2.  I like to place my UAD instances on the pro channel strip before the console emulation and tube saturation.  Everything works fine.  The only issue I run into is when I exit out of sonar and reopen a session, none of the plugs are responsive at first.  There is also no DSP usage shown on the UAD meter.  To get them to work, I have to manually click the blue power to the left of each plugin to the off position, and then turn it back on.  All of the settings on the UAD plugs remain the same, but it's just a hassle to turn each plugin on when you have a session that's 30+ tracks.  

Any solutions?

Also, something I just found out...  The UAD plugins don't do this if they are in the effects bin next to the track itself.  Only if they are placed on the Pro Channel Strip.

My predicament:

I want to place (for instance) a UAD compress after the pro channel EQ, but before the tube saturation and console emulator...  any way to do this without experiencing the issues I explained above?

Load the track PC with EQ only, UAD in fx bin, track out to a bus with tube saturation and console emulation in bus PC or use a different EQ in fx bin with UAD and set track PC to post fx bin.

This would be a bummer if that were the only way I could do this.  I don't want to totally disregard the convenience of the channel strip. 

I got the same.  I only use a couple on each track somturning them off and back is a workaround.

Checking this out, Imfou d that turning the little blue light off, has no effect.  But, cycling them seems to be necessary for use

Ditto !
