Plugin Console in Track Mix Mute Automation Problems

I am having an issue with the mute buttons on the plugin mixers in Track Mix. I accidentally muted the plugins while recording in a couple of my sequences and can't find away to undo that other then trying to unmute the plugin mixer as quickly as possible during recording. The mutes don't show in the velocity automation data for the tracks which I see has been discussed when others had problem getting rid of the automation. The problem is, on the Plugin Consoles in Track Mix, while the region that is muted is shown as a red block in the view, it is completely dead to any select tool, erase tool, or pencil tool. The tools work on individual tracks, but the mute is tied to automation data on the plugin console in Track mix.

Another issue is two of my sequences now have a permanent mute on one of the plugins that I can't get rid of. I can unmute the sequence while recording but then when I go back to song mode it is muted again. The two muted sequences are side by side in song mode. What is weirder is when I exit song mode to go back to the sequencer to fix this, the sequencer will automatically go from the one problem sequence to the next one that also has the mute problem, but then if I choose other sequences they loop continuously like they should. Stranger still, if after looping the other sequences, I go the the problem sequences they loop like they should with no mute issue. So, feeling hopeful, I go back to Song mode where once again the two problem sequences have mutes applied on the piano track.

All in all I love the Ren, Its sequencer engine and timing give me something that none of my other software gives me (Sonar 8.5 and X2 (X2 is buggy too,) Maschine and Reason.) I love how easy it is to sequence in it. Still weird issues like these are frustrating. Also last night, randomly all my plugins (The Bank) freaked out and reset to one sound. Luckily I constantly do save as with incremental project numbers, just incase. I use other plugins as well, but decided to try out 64bit in the box before I complicate things with Omnisphere and the like.

Yup, Everytime I go to song mode the two sequences end up with a muted plugin track. Then I exit out and it plays two sequences consecutively as if it was in song mode (with the problem mute if it is on one of the two sequences that have the mute issue,) but ends up looping the second sequence, as if the Ren is late in realizing it is not in song mode. From then on the problem mutes are gone as I flip through the sequences until I go back to song mode, and the mutes are back.

Is 64 bit creating more issues then 32 bit? I didn't have any issues in 32, running my dell desktop windows 7.

Main problem solved.

Never mute the Plugin mixer consoles. Always mute from the tracks. What was happening is that the muted Plugin consoles were carrying over to the next couple sequences, regardless if those sequences had them muted or not.

It still does not explain how come after exiting song mode, the sequence will jump to the next sequence before looping in place as it should. And I still have no clue how to delete automation I made to the Plugin Consoles. It's like those consoles are no man's land.

Did you try double tapping the main button aka hitting shift + main? This will give you an overview of the tracks and then in the top right there is a drop down menu where you can select to show mutes. They will show up as red over the whole track where it's muted. You should be able to delete them there.

Thanks,

Yes. I need to check if I missed something.

I found it! Thanks for the help. I completely didn't see the menu on top far right. I kept looking on the bottom left.

Man.... I feel dumb. lol
