Crash when changing plugin layout and other bug

[Esteban Villanova]

Hi,

When I started organizing my plugins and creating layouts for them, I didn't realize that you had to create one layout for effects and one for instruments. I made one for effects and then I tried selecting it from the instrument tab of the browser which prompted a crash.

Another bug I found: I made an FX chain consisting of an amp sim plugin (Mercuriall SS-11x) and created a UI for it with knobs and buttons. I saved the FX chain and when I drag it from the browser into the ProChannel of an audio track, everything works as expected and I get an audio signal. But if I save the track with the FX chain in the ProChannel as a track template and then I insert the new track template there's no sound coming out of the amp sim. I can see the audio going into the plugin on the input monitoring meter on its graphic interface, but the output monitoring is not moving. If I bypass the FX chain module I can hear the guitar again.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Last update is great, btw. Thanks for the great efforts!

If you can reproduce the crash please send the dump file. Regarding the fx chain, try dragging it to the track fx bin and then splitting it into it's components. It may reveal which plugin is going silent.

Hi Noel, thanks for responding.

I can't reproduce the crash because I can no longer access my "Effects" plugin layout from the Instruments tab in the browser. When I first created my Effects layout and before I created my Instruments layout, the Effects one appeared as an option in the Instruments drop down menu and the crash occurred when I selected it. I don't want to delete my layouts to try it out but I hope that helps. It's not an issue anymore anyways.

The FX chain I created only contains one plugin (the amp sim) and I can see the audio going into it but it doesn't come out. It works fine when I drag it into the FX bin or into the ProChannel. It only goes silent when I insert it as a track template, which is a bummer since I would like to save my amp sim along with some ProChannel modules with favorite settings to recall later.

 

I hope you have a nice weekend.

I actually recreated the track template using the same fx chain and it works fine!  I’ll be creating several more track templates and I’ll let you know if I encounter any other issues. Thanks for all your hard work, I’m absolutely loving Cakewalk!

I've been able to reproduce the Browser plugin layout crash. Thanks Esteban, we'll get that fixed ASAP.
