For what it's worth...

After a couple back-and-forths with Waves support (kudos to them for quickly responding to me, a freebies-only "customer"), I've come to realize/remember the way we have to...

Good to know. I just wish my Waves BS resulted in a working Studiorack like yours did. :(

I have a message in to support. We'll see what they say. If they respond. Fingers crossed.

Interesting. I never have this issue. I always thought it was because Windows doesn't use the ASIO driver for my MBox (which is what I use in SAW). I think Windows only uses MME or WDM drivers. Be...

Seems like some experimenting is in order. Unless Bob wants to jump in and enlighten us. :)

It also begs the question of how automation and control track entries are placed/quantized in SS. Or...

I dunno, man. 48 volts on the tip is going to jump to any metal it touches with an attractive path behind it (like a sleeve or a ring contact). Those are always "on." Any switched open doesn't happen...

Have you tried Waves' Studiorack VST? It's free and is alleged to support VST3 plugins these days. I tried to test it for you, but I can't get my version 12 Studiorack to update to version 14, which...

Anything that could use the audio driver. Browser. System. Another DAW.

Worked when doing a build mix at the session rate, but not doing a buildmix at a different (but supported) rate? That's not...

What do you mean by this?

That should not be a problem. I do sample rate conversion by this method all the time.

Have you checked to be sure no other active app is stealing the driver?

Great idea, Bob!

This has been a requested feature addition for a very long time. One approach, as you may know, is to instantiate multiples of the plugin, each with its own settings, then automate the bypass state...

I see no setting in MWS for tick resolution, so I have to assume it takes that directly from the setting in SAW.

I didn't even know you could change that! I thought 480 was it!

JMH, you just gave me an idea. In the past I've normalled my studio mic lines right into my mic pres and/or console channel strip inputs directly on the TT bays. But I've now read in a couple places...

Both 110 and 66 block (all my experience is with the latter) are all designed for solid-core wire. After all, this tech came to the pro audio community from the telco folks. That said, although it's...

Slick. Thanks.

So it sounds like we're back to where I started, making up my own custom cables to use for unbalanced gear patching.

Since I need to consider the specific wiring on a by-device basis, and it's a...

Yeah, I see the Metaplugin interface will stay open through the close/open EDL process, but not the plugin interfaces instantiated therein. But, then, do we typically want a plugin's interface to be...

What do you mean by program change? You mean the PC MIDI command? What are you trying to do?

Thanks for the link. Good stuff.

What do you mean by "wire the patch bay connectors with the correct wiring for the unbalanced equipment"? The patch bays are all TRS; unbalanced stuff, as you...

I'm not worried about noise getting into unbalanced runs so much, just want to be sure the sound gets through. These'll be short runs, with the gear close to the bay (I think).

In all typical...

Thanks, Philip. I like what I'm hearing so far.

When you say "normalize," I don't suppose you mean as in "normaling" any of those connections? Because any of this unbalanced stuff will be patched...

Attic studio build on the horizon. I have four or five old ADC TT bays loomed out to punch-down blocks that I plan to install in an effort to over-engineer my dream home project studio. I have a few...

I'm guessing this feature was percolating in Bob's mind a hundred years before that. ;)

Happy to help. Parameter automation may be a tougher issue to tackle. :D

If you have enough monitor real estate, would this help?

Open all the Metaplugin instances in the EDL and place them in order in a dedicated space on your screen(s). Save. Never close them. Maybe...
