PROBLEM: Sub-session flakiness; params change seemingly randomly.

Hi there

I've been using Performer for over a year regularly at every gig. In the last few months I've been seriously digging into its capabilities for programming whole shows into it. However, one thing is driving me around the bend. I intend to make a video to send to Brad to illustrate the problem, but figured I'd post here to see if anyone else has seen this behavior and maybe found a workaround.

Sometimes, Ill load or worse simply SAVE a session, with 12-24 subs, and many of my rack settings, bypasses, PROGRAM SELECTIONS(!), and splits change. And the same bad changes seem to occur in the same places everytime. It feels like a database error or something.

For instance: Ill have a sub named John Legend and it has the non-playing racks or plugs bypassed, and two playing racks active with a midi split to separate the two. For that particular sub-session, randomly, but usually right after saving the session, one of the two plugins will bypass, and the program selection for the other will change. These kind of changes will occur through more subs in the session when the problem occurs at all, requiring manually setting all the program changes, splits and bypasses back and crossing my fingers. If I had more settings like sends, volumes, filters, Im betting they would change too.

I tried yesterday and today to break it by loading other sessions, making changes, changing them back and I COULDNT MAKE IT HAPPEN... until the gig tonight. Jebus H Crimson. There is nothing more frustrating than the rig you spent 24 hours massaging all the bugs out of, (plus all the previous times you tried to figure it out) changing everything like a little demon child on ritalin right at the count of the next song.

Thoughts?
