I’m afraid you’ve come up against the “too fast macro commands” problem, like they are talking about in this topic and others.
You’ve basically found a kind of workaround, another might be to use two separate PLE preset commands, until some resolution to this problem is implemented.
I imagine it requires some non-trivial rewriting to parts of the program that are quite old in computer time terms. They are doing this step by step - my understanding is that getting rid of the dongle is one of the steps that will allow the devs to deal with thngs like this.
Interesting, well I’m glad they are working on it. And fortunately my work around only takes a minute to implement. I remember when Steinberg made a really big deal about ditching the dongle and I was very surprised at how much press they were putting behind it, (it never affected me personally). I guess it was a real hindrance to the Dev’s.
I’ll check out the post you linked too, maybe there are some other work arounds I can implement between now and the fix.
