A couple of PT7 CS5 Bugs

[DAS-Mike]

I am working on a complex compositional project using PT 7.1 cs5. The session has several hundred tracks. About 110 active audio voices, 60 or so de-activated tracks, and about 50 midi tracks. Lot's of Aux's, EFX, Etc..

My system,

Dual 2.3
5.5 Ram
10.4.3
HD3 (Core,Accell,Process)

In general I am happy to say that they system is working. There are a few bugs:

1. Automating an Aux Mute on an instrument track does not work.

A. Select the automation line for "Mute" for an aux on an instrument track
B. Highlight an area
C. Edit the automation line to turn the mute on or off for the selected area
D. Play back and the mute on/off status does not change.

Note, I was able to work around this by automating the Aux send level on those tracks. Mute automation works on audio tracks just fine.

2. S.I.D.S. (Sudden Instrument Death Syndrome)

I have found that some combination of turning mutes and solo's on and off kills the audio output of "Stylus RMX". The solution is to hard bypass (Control Command) Stylus on and off which makes it start working again.

3. In this session Kontakt won't let me record more than one voice at a time.

A. Insert Kontakt on an instrument track
B. Play the midi controller holding down some chords. No problem
C. Hit record and play more than one note at a time and Kontakt craps out.

Note, The solution for me has been to open just Kontakt in a new fresh PT session and play the parts and record as audio. Then import those tracks into the main session.

Are these 100% repeatable in other sessions and new sessions as well?
