Opening client sessions keeps messing my preferences??

[crizdee]

Hi,

When i open a clients session it overrides some of my prefs WHY? surely ALL the prefs should be locked to my system!!

Can we have a lock on the prefs window please!

I'm having a similar issue with "contagious prefs" mucking up the main prefs too. Good to know i'm not going crazy. I think doing an "import session data" might leave the session prefs behind...but who wants to do that everytime you get a session from a client??

Any thoughts Digi-dudes?

Thanks

We are seeing this too. Oh, so annoying!

I'll add to the chorus of "this is extremely annoying". That said, it's really easy to save a set of IO setups and just import them at the beginning of a session. A "lock" is a brilliant idea tho... ! :)

Ah yes, but then you end up with duplicate assignments and must delete the overlapping ones, and thus possibly loosing automation data. I think the I/O setup needs a little update.

And a preferences lock would be nice too.

YEah I thought I was loosing my mind... Digi any thoughts?

Just been collaborating with some other composers, and this is driving me crazy...

I should be able to open some one else's session and keep my own prefs!

Also, creating a new blank session defaults to the prefs of the previous session.

The only solution i've found for this is to use the free 'preference and database helper' to restore my prefs BEFORE creating the new session.

This is why I have to use my own template to bring everything back to the way I have pt setup. Aggravating but it works. LOCK PREFERENCES NEEDED

Global midi playback offset. this one's got me a few times!!

I think auto save as well, unless the studio fairies are messing with my prefs when i'm not looking.

I sometimes open up the clients session just to check it and pre-prepare it before i use import session data or just consolidate the audio etc. then when i open my sessions these little things catch me out.
