0:00 Sidechain in Groups [FIXED at v.8.1.1 (except when moving plugins with latency around on bus)]
2:31 VST Instruments in serial
3:42 Hardware Inputs
6:18 Multi Instruments [FIXED at v.8.1.1]
7:03 Batch Processor [FIXED at v.8.1.1]

Thanks for confirming these three are fixed in version 8.1.1!

Yes, I can confirm, that my test project is working now without any problem and as it should. Great news for me.

That's fantastic news! Since switching to S1 in November I haven't been able to do mixes in it because of this issue and was forced to stay with the old C-DAW. Looking forward to do some mixing in it now.

I'm sorry for being a downer but the PDC issues are not yet fully solved. There's been progress for sure but I have a very simple 3 track test session that user FMN-Music provided to me a while ago that clearly shows the issue is still present, specifically the situation he mentions when changing the position of plugins with latency in the bus.

The test session contains 2 audio tracks both playing the same simple metronome click rendered to audio. Both tracks output to the main stereo out. One of them also has a send to a bus that contains the latent plugins and also outputs to the main stereo out. If you just open the session and play it, everything's ok - all audio plays in sync as it should. But if you change the order of the plugins on the bus channel the audio gets totally out of sync. This shouldn't happen. If after moving the plugins around you disable and then re-enable the plugins the audio gets back to normal.

If you want to check it out Lukas, I can send you the session.
I'm assuming FMN-Music won't mind because he sent it to me and it's a very simple setup. This should make it very easy for the developers to at least reproduce the problem - it doesn't take a giant session for it to manifest.

Anyway, sorry to be that guy but while I appreciate the developers tackling the problem it clearly is not fully solved yet.

Nobody said all issues were fully solved. Some things have been done, others are still on the list.

As long as they are on the list, that’s ok. Do you want to try out that test session?

Not necessary, thank you. QA and development should have taken a look at it already.
