I feel the light of heaven 'shin'n and my soul starting to left! :)
He's definitely on it and I'm appreciative. It was pretty frustrating to have some band members come in yesterday and me say "check this out!" only to open the project and have none of the guitars playing. I had to track down the offending plugin with them standing there.
He said it was "basically some mathematical problem cause by the custom attack/release you used in the project" - so not project related. He asked if I'd test a new DLL and I said sure. He thinks it's unrelated to the EQ issue, and I'm going to try and get him a project for that as well.
So far, he get's points for being responsive!
PS: I'll change the title when I get the fix.
