VST Preset Reset to init issues.

Post by ttilberg » Thu Mar 13, 2014 8:58 pm

Does anyone else have this issue, and know why?

I end up sending a lot of tracks between home and work, and to a friend via Copy and Dropbox. Often times, everything transfers nicely. Sometimes however, I open my .als, and find that most of my 3rd party VSTs have reset to their init patch. It happens often with FXPansion DCAM, and sometimes with Massive (it might be just that I use FXP DCAM way more than Massive).

I feel like it might be related to being saved by mac, and then moved to PC, but I can't figure it out because it's not consistent.

Does anyone else have any experience with this?

Oionka, let's see if we can figure out exactly what circumstances produces this bug, so we can get it submitted to Ableton. I hate this bug. I always thought it was an FXPansion problem previously.

Are you running the latest versions of both Live and the plugs? I would make sure you are, and if the issue still persists, contact our Support: https://www.ableton.com/en/help/contact-support/

Thanks Stas, that's an excellent point to consider. I'll take that into consideration while testing, and try to do a before/after update.
