Automation issues with PMX7 SP1

Postby per » Thu Jan 13, 2011 20:08

Hello.
I've experienced some strange things with automation in PMX7 and wonder if anyone of you have seen this too.

I have this multitrack recording, made with the previous version (6.3?). Some tracks have automation, some don't. When I open the project in PMX 7, automation is OFF. If I choose automation PLAY, all tracks that didn't have automation jumps to 0 dB. If I try to move a fader, it jumps back to 0 dB.

I open the automation tracks window and see that there are som new tracks written - strange, since I haven't been in WRITE mode!
Anyway, I delete all new automation tracks (gain). But as I do this, a blue automation line appears over the waveforms when the automation tracks are deleted.
I can see that there are automation points at the start and end of my project, so I select everything including those points and choose delete points from the automation popup on each track. When I do this the automation line goes away.

But when I play back, the faders return to 0 dB again and I can see that a new automation track has been created.

What's going on?
Does anybody have a clue?
Cheers

Hello,

The reported problem is unknown and unreproducible. Could please send an email to the Merging Technologies support by attaching the 6.x .pmx project (without media) ?

We will do our best to put the light on.

Per,

We have received your project. Thanks.

We think that the reported issue (fader jump back to 0dB) is solved in the upcoming Pyramix 7 SP2. Bug id : 3936 "Strips connected to VCA are reseted when no automation is present".

Great!

The strangest thing is that new automation tracks are written. I opened a similar project today but didn't do anything with it. When I opened automation tracks an hour later, I noticed a lot of new automation tracks registered there.

When is SP2 due?
