Lower Zone: Unexpected opening

Hi everyone, I need your help.

In VST LIVE PRO 3 newest release it happens, that “lower zone” pops up whenever I change to another song.

Is there a fix for that.

Best regards and thx in advance

Each Song remembers the lower zone state afaik, so it may be different for each Song.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately, that doesn’t really solve my problem.

Is there any way to change this behavior—the pop-up—in the affected songs to suit my needs?

Best regards,

I was mistaken, the Lower Zone state is global. If I close lower zone it is closed in all Songs here. What if you try a repro: new project (is lower zone opened? Then close it), add Song - still opens?

I need to add something:
This behavior usually occurs with songs that also play sampler tracks, automation windows, or MIDI files. It’s possible that copying the audio file into the open sampler track window (lower zone) is stored in the program’s “memory”…
I tried your suggestion.
When I add a new song after a song where the lower zone is open, the lower zone is also open in the new song. After a song without a lower zone, the new song also has no lower zone.

What I’m seeing here is, that the Lower Zone automatically opens under the following conditions:

  • two songs (S1, S2)
  • create a Sampler Track in S2 - LZ opens
  • close LZ - the ST is still selected (this is important!)
  • activate S1: LZ stays closed
  • activated S2: LZ pops up again (as the Sampler Track is/was active before)

In the current version of VST Live 3, you have to deselect the ST before switching to another song to prevent this.

There is need for improvement. Since VST Live knows which track was active before changing song, it also could save the LZ state and selected tab in it.

Because it annoys very often that Mixer shows up without any call for it.

Hi Kai,
That’s exactly what I described.

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for your support!

Maybe there will be a solution to this annoying problem soon. :wink:

Best regards,
