GUI not working on channel strip?

[Frank Kruse]

Hi,

I have an AVID channel strip (multi-channel) on LCR to LCR AUX bus. I can hear the compressor doing it's thing like crazy but I am seeing no activity what so ever in the compressor GUI. I see the I/O meters but the little red dot just sits there as if the track was muted.

Also the gain-reduction meters in the mixer shows zero activity even though -3dBFs are going in and -20dBFs are coming out of the plugin.

This is with just something in the Center channel. As soon as there's something in the L/R it works fine.

Is this a feature or a bug?

Thanks,

Frank.

Ok, so I switched it to multi-mono and now I can at least switch the GUI to center. Would be better if that worked in multi-channel mode as well.

Seems like it only works for L/R there.

Grüß Dich Frank,

Half a year on, is there any news on this? I really miss being able to view the center gain reduction response. Multi-mono as far as I understand doesn't allow for different key source methods, so one cannot have for example a loud shout on C reduce the center AND the reverb in L/R and even Ls/Rs on the dia bus for example.
Multi-mono would change the reverb ratio unfortunately.

Hope this GUI issue will soon be or by now even has been addressed?

just experiencing the same problem. any news on this?

interesting: when I activate the exp/gate, the red little dot starts to work... even for comp/limit. working only with comp/limit has no red dot

[kaioflex]

OK here it is: the depth knob on exp/gate activates the red little dot working and jumping. great bug!

I've seen this bug before, too. Can't remember what I did, but the sound passing through CS was fine.

correct. technically it is working fine. but sometimes you want to see what you are tweaking on

Avid,

any news on fixing this issue? It's very irritating to work with a multi-channel plugin that doesn't have visual feedback on what it's actually doing. The issues seems very inconsistent too. The other day I saw it only showing gain-reduction or any activity when there was audio in the rear surround AND the front. No activity when routed to L or R. One restart later, no GUI at all but audible compression. On the next restart, the usual activity only when routed to L or R.

Thanks,

Frank.

I showed this very thing to people from AVID almost a year ago.
