Plugins Minimized in Sonar

[Johnbee58]

I'm taking notice that in Sonar when I open a plugin it comes up minimized and when I open the window to maximize it the rest of the DAW is not visible anymore.

An example-When I use the CLA-NX virtual environment plugin and then try to open my SSL E Channel it comes up in a minimized window at the bottom of the screen.  Then when I maximize it the E channel takes up the whole screen and there's no way I can pull it closed to just see what I have to see on the E channel.  Therefore, I cannot edit the E channel settings while being able to see the rest of the DAW.

This doesn't happen in CbB.

Maybe a bug that should be worked out?  Maybe a setting in preferences that needs to be unticked?

Thanks

Try un-checking 'Enable Plugin DPI Awareness' in the Settings drop-down of the CLA-NX UI (and maybe SSL E Channel as well). In general I'm finding that plugins with a scaleable UI behave better with this option disabled. And some plugin UIs (especially older ones) will render too small with it enabled.

Thanks Dave!  I'll try that next session.

I'm finding that doesn't work with some plugins - for example Native Instruments plugins that don't have standalone versions such as Massive X and Izotope 11.  You can get a big windows by doing it, but the actual size of the plugin GUI is unchanged and doesn't fill the window.

Massive X has a 'View Size' scaling factor in the pick list next to the logo at the upper left, and Ozone 11 is continuously resizable by dragging the lower right corner.

I tried what you suggested.  It worked.  But I found that if I just X off the interface view of the CLA NX that also works.  The thing is I just can't have the CLA NX minimized and be able to see the strip at the same time.  I have to disable the CLA NX view, which doesn't disable the plugin.  If I want to see it I just have to click on it on the Master  channel.

Thanks
