  • Freezing FX Chain in Prochannel issue

Seems that if I have a FX chain in the Prochannel when I freeze a track, the input and output level of the FX Chain jumps up to zero db just before the Freeze and I don't get the results I expect in the track.

Is no one seeing this.  

Insert an FX chain into the Prochannel.  You don't have to have an effect in it. Set the output volume level to -inf.  You shouldn't hear anything in the track.  Freeze the track.  I'm getting audio at that point.

when you put an effect in the fx chain it works.

For some reason, not for me.  Doesn't matter whether a FX is in the chain or not here.

Do you have the hot fix installed?

yeah. are your global on/of for prochannel and the fx chain power buttons on?

it works for me. 
 
I've replicated. Interesting. Ok.. Pro channel appears to not be applied. It removes the zeroing of the output level from the FX chain (raising it to 0 from -inf). It's as if the Pro Channel isn't applied. Also it modified it.
 
I think this qualifies as needing more info and perhaps a bug submission.
Ok, first test, I pulled the output to -inf and applied Freezing. Output of the FX Chain went to 0 and the track froze. The FX were not applied. If I bypassed the PC at that point the track plays without any PC FX.
 
Next, I turned on the compressor and pulled down both input and output on the PC FX Chain plug. After bouncing, both input and output faders were zero'd on the FX Chain PC Plug. The compressor PC Plug was still enabled.
 
If freezing doesn't apply PC by default, at least it shouldn't modify the FX Chain PC module settings.

Yes.  I can hear that the Prochannel is working on the track but the issue is only with the Input and Output volumes when you freeze the track.  They shift to 0db and then when you unfreeze the track they remain at 0db.

yeah that happened for me until i inserted and effect. not after.

For me, it happens with an effect inserted.

Yes, thats kind of what I meant in this post here along with the rest of the annoying issues  http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2721233 
  • Freezing then unfreezing softsynth sometimes resets Pro channel settings, you wouldn't know to look at them, but you can hear it.
