Instrument Tracks Volume Won’t Adjust Unless I Solo Track??
Hi guys,
Ran into a weird issue where all of a sudden my instrument tracks appear to be stuck at one volume, the faders on those tracks and even the synths bus track doesn’t work. What’s more is that even if I hit bypass on the virtual instrument, I still hear the track playing! Mute button doesn’t work either. Only when I hit solo on the synth bus track with the virtual instruments tracks also soloed am I able to turn things up or down again. But then as soon as I go out of solo mode it’s back to being loud and unable to control. I also tried changing the bus settings, like going to a different bus, but to no avail. Strangely, this is only happening on around 2 or 3 (out of 10) songs. The other I songs, I’m not having this issue with the instrument tracks, and the instrument track settings appear to be the same across the board bc I used the same template to set everything up. Any suggestions on what could be causing this?? Thanks! |

Automation problem? Do controls move back after you move them? What automation mode is the instrument track in?
Are there sends of multiple outputs going out the VI? Did trashing prefs do anything? Save Session In? |

Photo attached of the bus settings. I’m not sure off-hand what automation mode the instrument track is on, but I’ll check tonight when I go to the studio. Usually if there’s automation the faders will bounce back but that’s not happening here. I have not tried trashing prefs. Is there any danger in that? I’m recording an album so want to make sure I’m not deleting important info. Thanks! |

You can move prefs files out of the way/rename them as backups when you trash them by hand, or PT Prefs (Mac) or Trasher (Windows) will make backups for you. If it does not fix the problem them move the pref files back.

Well apparently they were still active even though hidden, so I was hearing the (hidden) audio tracks when I thought it was still the instrument tracks. As I muted those tracks, i realized there was nothing wrong with the instrument tracks or faders after all. So silly, but glad it finally occurred to me! Thanks again for your suggestions. |
