Hey all! im hopin i can get some responses to my issue.. Ive had a Ren for 3 days, (MPC's for 20 years) & im struggling...
i pretty much only use UAD plugins mixing but mixed with the Ren (1.6 & firm 1.10) they giving me grief.. everytime i open the MPC app (mac Pro 8 core 16 GB Ram OS 10.8.5) all the UAD plugins are reset to default state, not the saved settings for the project..? The MPC software is also showing me that the Buffer / latency is incorrect & that it should be '0' but the MPC settings doesnt have that setting available...?
im then also experiencing a weird track volume issue where no volume control or metering is showing in the MPC app but sound is still coming from the application...
im using the UAD's as insert & send fx as well as master & the issue is on all fx options...

ive tried various saving options, also reinstalled the MPC & UAD apps, firmware to see if its buggy.. deleting the preferences before hand..

I honestly hope that none of you have had this drama but if you have a solution id be most grateful..
Props!

I'm on Windows 7. Using the 32-bit MPC app. I'm not experiencing any of those problems, but for some reason my CPU % n the MPC app is matching my UAD DSP % in the Control Panel and I'm getting an error message of device code -26 from only using 4 UAD Plugins when I can normally use more than that when I mix in Pro Tools. I don't mix in the Ren software as of yet. I was just testing it out to see if I can produce what you're experiencing.

Thank you for testing that, jigdagod, as that is good information. I wonder if it is Mac specific then? I believe the issues started around the time I installed Mavericks. I am able to run the amount of UAD plugs I would expect and have not seen the issue you mention - wonder if that is also OS-specific.

Any Mac users out there experiencing either of these issues?

ok, just yesterday ive noticed that (on a mac 10.8.5) using AU or any Automap version of the plugins continue to reset. using a vst it saves it! winning!
that is with MPC 1.7 & latest UAD 7.9.0

as far a latency issues on the send returns i havent checked.. 64 buffer will be required inside the UAD settings..
im just happy to get the access to my 10 chips into MPC.
now i just need them to export them thru the inserts instead of dry...
