Plugins changing their settings

[HenrikUdd]

I've been having a problem with plugin changing settings that's been torturing me over many years, probably since 2009 or so.

Been throwing away preferences and all many times with no success.
Have been the same on a couple of Macs and thought I would be free from it when I bought my iMac, but the problem has even increased and is now happening a lot on my beloved avid EQIII 7band.

Was mainly a problem back in the days with Focusrite red EQ ff d2 band6.
When using it on an aux track it would always change the settings to the next time you open up the session. So I had to save it as a preset and then next time
when opening the session hit the compare button in the plugin. After doing that once it will usually stay that way forever after that.

After Avids Pitch plugin came back it's been doing the same for me where I have to automate it to remember it's pitch. Echoboy been weird as well changing from 1/2 to 1/8 etc.

But since two years back EQIII been doing the same thing and I use this one quite a lot to notch out small stuff and it's a bit of a nightmare to always have to save a preset and then check if it's made the compare button blue and cursive.

Anyone's experienced the same or got any solution for it?? Thanks!


Here's a quick video showing when it's does it on focus rite and Pitch, didn't get it to change on EQIII and echoey for this one
