12.3HD HEAT Pre/Post Bug?

[VRW]

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask you if anyone can confirm this behavior or if it´s me who is missing something?

In the HEAT manual it reads -HEAT processing is Pre Inserts when the PRE button is lit. Pre is enabled by default-
BUT if I open a new session/existing session without HEAT enabled and I go to enable HEAT it appears on every
channel WITHOUT the Pre button lit. Therefor I would assume it´s in Post mode then, right? There ain´t no bypass
activated or any other setting applied, it´s just HEAT opening as default.
According to the manual it should be in Pre mode by default.
So is this a bug, wrong information in the manual or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

I can confirm this behavior on existing session. It's not a GUI glitch either since it takes a while for PT to switch from post to pre. I don't use HEAT normally, so I can't tell if this is a bug or wrong info in the manual.

I'll ask around.

Thanks a lot!

I'm on PTHD 10.3.10 & HEAT does the same thing here. New channels are set to 'post'. I asked Dave about any possible diff between pre & post, he said it's very negligible and not to be concerned about it…..

I always use it in pre mode. When first instantiated it's always in post.
Bypass is global in the side of the mixer window where the drive & tone knobs are.

Just to point out that HEAT reacts non-linearly in relation to the frequency content and dynamic range of a sound. Therefore if HEAT is set to POST and the output of your insert chain is being slammed, HEAT will be driven more. If HEAT is set to PRE it is reacting to the recorded audio before the FX chain.

This is something I didn't realise for awhile! Now I mostly have it set to PRE.

Just reminder, Heat in Pre will render into the files when doing "Track commit/freeze" if you want to exchange multi-track session to pt vanillais the way to go, if not i prefer Post :)
