Instrument Volume defaults to zero on rewind.

[Michael Warren]

I know. I've turned off zero controllers on stop. I've been writing this piece for about 3 weeks. It begins with Oboe solo and strings. Has always worked, but today, no Oboe Volume. I've checked automation lanes, that's fine. This is the only patch (oboe), that it's happening on. It was always working fine with volume up until today. I can manually move the slider up, but on release, it's back to no volume. I'm really not sure what's happening. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've even tried insert Volume 100  at beginning of piece for insert menu, but no success.\

Thanks,

Michael Warren

Just noticed, same thing happening on 2nd violins. Very strange.

Double check the zero controllers setting. 

This is a per-project setting. Make sure to update the project templates in order that new project have the preferred settings.

Also review the data in the Event List view.

I have unchecked zero controller. I inserted a Vol control of 100 at the start of the track, but still the same problem. I'm pretty much at a loss. Again, it's been working fine for over a month.

May help to know which plug-in(s) are creating the sounds.

This could be the result of volume automation.

Opening automation lanes in audio and instrument tracks automatically create volume automation. 

If a track has volume automation the envelope is visible in the main track, there is an indication next to the Volume label in the track header and the automation lane button  may be a different color.

To get rid of unwanted automation either use the edit filter (the drop down under the track name in the track view) to select the automation or open the automation lanes then right-click on the envelope and using the context menu select "Delete Envelope"

PROBLEM SOLVED. 

Under Preferences, Hide related VST2 Plug-ins, and Replace if Possible on Project Load were unchecked. I was using Kirk Hunter Orchestral Program. After checking those 2 boxes, everything played fine. It's possible it did not like one or the other VSTs. I'm not going to go into depth searching for the reason. I'd rather get back to making music after a frustrating 3 days.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
