Light Grenade Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Hi folks, I mix through a hardware compressor which sits on the master bus. I use the external insert plugin to do this. On the session I'm working on, I get no sound when I solo a bus, nor does volume automation work on any bus. Upon solo'ing any bus. no sound hits my master fader. However, solo'ing individual tracks works fine, as does muting busses. I can hear the mix fine when everything is playing, and manual fader movements on busses also work. All behaviour returns to normal when I bypass the external insert plugin. Any ideas? Edited January 7, 2020 by Light Grenade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 A longstanding issue that apparently never got fixed: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Do-external-inserts-go-quite-when-soloing-an-Aux-track-or-Bus-with-an-external-insert-m3475781.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not great, but I will be able to find a workaround by solo'ing track folders. Cheers for saving me lots of time fault finding. I was sure it was something to do with my routing.

David Baay Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Glad to help. It sounded familiar though I hadn't encountered it myself for a long time. As the range and quality of my plugin collection has superceded my old hardware processors (mostly digital, so no analog 'sweetening' to be gained), I haven't used external insert for quite a while, much less in combination with soloing buses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same here. I got rid of plenty and now only have have one high end piece for the mix bus. I was looking at getting a higher end compressor for the drum bus but I think I'll give it a miss now.
