Hello,

I'm having a really annoying problem that I just can't seem to figure out. I'm recording guitar tracks in mono, setting all my effects, panning, volume, etc...If I save the project, close out of it, then open it back up, all my guitar tracks have switched over to stereo and my effects, panning, volume changes are all gone. Anybody know what is causing this and how I can avoid it?

Thanks,

Is it possible your VST Connections assignments are set to all stereo buses like a default instead of being set to the configuration your using in your project? Check that and make sure the same bus assignments (input & output tabs) match your tracks, and then try saving and see if it comes back the same.
So if you are using say 4 mono and 4 stereo tracks in your project and to your interface that's what should be setup in VST Connections. You should really create yourself templates for different channel and track assignments. That could fix things and work also.
That's the only thing I can think of that could be doing that other than some weird file saving problem. Maybe your not really saving the project properly?
Hope that helps...

Thanks for the suggestions. As soon as I have a chance to record again, I'll definitely check those assignments. I also tried not using my preset effects, and my tracks stayed put as mono. I never used to have that problem, and it would be a pain in butt to have to manually get my clean and distorted guitar sounds each time, so hopefully your suggestion works. I'll let you know. Thanks again!
