Guys, I don't mean to wag my tail if you will, but I figured out the issue with my plugin settings getting reset each time I would hit play.
It turns out, under preferences, mixing, and in the automation section, I had the box checked for plugin controls default to auto-enabled. Listenning to ProTools with Speech, which was recorded using PT 10, not 12, Matt and Rod both suggest that you check this box. I don't totally understand why, but I looked at a system I have with ProTools installed as well, granted, version 11, not 12, but still! On that system, I knew things were working. I noticed that was literally the only thing different with my settings. I tried that on my system in the studio, and well, well well! I'll? be damned! That did the trick! Once I unchecked it, I was in business! So, can someone please explain to me what that setting does? I guess my logic of thinking was that certain things can be automated within a plugin. For example. On a compressor, you may be able to automate the attack and release controls. So say for example that on the bridge of a song, I want my attack to be shorter, whereas on the verse, I want it to be longer. I could automate the attack setting of the plug, so that when writing automation to the vocal track, once things need to be changed, I could write automation to the track by starting out writing a global pass to the track, then going back, selecting the bridge, moving the attack where I want it to go instead, write it, then boom. I thought that you know how in pretty much all plugs you have a button that says automation enable? I was under the impression that this checkbox in preferences made it where if checked, all plugs which contained automatable settings would be enabled by default, allowing you to write automation to any given track or tracks from the plugin of choice. Am I not completely understanding this correctly? I gather I'm on the right track, but it seems to me that there is a little bit more to it than just that. Slau, can you, or Kevin, or someone more knowledgeable try to clarify here and help me better udnerstand, when checked, what in all actuality I'm exactly doing? I tell ya. This is why I love using PT so much on a daily basis! I love the adrenalin rush/high I get just from knowing that ProTools is so powerful, that every day! I'll probably wind up learning something new. You all've done so! much along the way to also help me, and for that, you'll never ever know my gratitude!
