Fender Studio Pro 8.2 - Discussion Thread

[Vocalpoint]

Has anyone had any issues with Universal Audio plugins? When I drag one from one channel to another, it loses all its settings. No other third-party plugins seem to be doing this. Just Universal Audio since I switched from 8.1 to 8.2.

What specific UAD plugins did you experience this with?

1176 blue stripe, distressor, I tried a few more. Seemed to be a UAD thing.

And you are simply dragging an existing instance (with I assume some specific settings) - with no modifier keys like ALT etc?

Just tested the Blue Stripe and three others - cannot replicate.

All mine copy their unique settings from source to destination in a standard "drag" scenario.

My specs below...

I can confirm that UADx native plugins lose settings when dragged (copied) from one channel to another. But UAD DSP plugins (I'm using a Quad TB Satellite) keep settings when copied.

Was just going to add this in. All my tests were using DSPs. Will try a Native now...

And...confirmed.

Not only does it not retain the settings - the "dragged" plugin reverts BUT keeps the preset name of the source.

I added Ampex ATR to a track - then switched the preset to "Classic 250 Warm Master". The controls switched to the settings for that specific preset. Then I dragged it to another track - the preset name stayed locked in - but the controls rolled back to the "Default" preset settings.

That is really messed up.

Just heard back from Fender:

Thank you for contacting Fender Digital Audio Support. Sorry to hear about the recent issues you have been experiencing.

I do apologize for this issue. It is a known issue and logged with the Studio One developers. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a time frame for when this will be resolved. Please keep an eye out for bug fixes in Studio Pro update release notes.


So looks like it's a known issue. I'll stick with 8.1 till they push a fix.

At least the preset name on the copied plugin changes to italic, indicating changed settings, but yeah -- it's really messed up.

Ive started getting crashes on 8.2 that I can’t track down, but they seem to happen when I try to move/relocate a buss in the seperated mixer screen while in playback mode.

Also had at least 1 instance of a crash while mixing AU and VST plugins on a buss (but no issues while mixing them on a track)

Don't use AU plug-ins in Studio Pro unless you have a good reason to do so.

Not saying this is the cause of the crash, but since I see so many reports of AU plug-ins being unstable (and apparently not tested at all) in FSP, it might be at least one thing to consider.

This. If you really crave instability - by all means - use AU.
