Ableton Automation deactivated when open ANA2 VST

Everytime when I open ANA2 VST in an Ableton Track where I automated something, it deactivate all automation from ANA2 (just when opening the VST).
I never saw this with any other VST (it only happens when I change manual the automated parameter in the VST).
I can re enable the automation Ian Ableton with the Re-Enable Automation Button. But I have to do this every time.
And when I change other parameters I cannot hear the automation going on.

Hi there @Heartleader

Sorry for the delayed reply, first thing first, could you also please include the following, this is important when submitting issue with plugins, thanks.


ANA 2 Plugin version
Live Version
Operating System & version
Using ANA 2 64 or 32 bit ?


There’s a known issue about ANA 2 not recalling automation in Live, but once you’ve clicked on Live’s “Re-Enable” button all ANA 2 automation lines should be activated again ( stop being greyed ) and that should not prevent you to hear them. That’s for ANA 2 automation.

Now reading your post, are you reporting that this is affecting other automation that you have on the track where ANA 2 VST is inserted ?

ANA 2 Plugin version: V2.0.81 Mar 14 2018
Live Version: 10.1 Build 2019-05-14
Operating System & version: MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 (18F203)
Using ANA 2 64 or 32 bit ?: VST 64 Bit

Correct, but when I want to change something in the plugin and I listen to the sound the already automated is not hearable because they are deactivated when I open ANA2. Sure after I reactivating it works again. But it is annoying because no plugin react like this and I will not be aware to reactivate all the time.

No, only ANA2 is affected and the automation is deactivated only in ANA2. In all other plugins (Ableton and 3rd) are not affected.

Thank you for the updated info & clarification that this is just affecting ANA 2 automation.

Unfortunately yes, this is a known issue. Pointing it to the dev. attention again, thanks for reporting.

FYI @bryan_spence & @phil_johnston

Thanks for your fast reply.
Is there a plan to fix this issue?

Still under investigation as far as I know, this wasn’t fix in the v 2.091 release for the Slate Bundle, but like I mentioned S.A team & the dev. are aware of this one, so hopefully this should get fixed in a future version.

will be addressed in the next patch :+1:

What is the ETA on the patch?

@Acidsmoker

I have no information about patch/release Estimate Time of Arrival at my level, most of the time there’s an announcement done by S.A when a new version is available for download in your user account.
