There are no Sends on my groups.
Direct Routing is a good suggestion - thanks! - but my mixes and workflow require a different approach. I use Direct Routing and Summing Mode to run surround and stereo mixes side-by-side. It’s complicated but allows me to flip instantly between stereo and surround mixes. Critically, with every channel and subgroup accessible, I can easily apply tweaks/fx to a group or channel that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.
For example, an ambient bed in the surrounds might sound muddy or masked when moved to the front/stereo mix. But, a little EQ, reverb, and panning/widening on those channels or their subgroup can give it room and make it sound as good (or even better than) the surround version. I’ve tried other workflows, but this is the only one that works well for me. Managing separate stereo and surround projects is just impossible.
But I digress.
For clarity, I submitted a separate bug report. If you follow the steps exactly, I think you’ll agree it’s a bug. If I’m wrong, please chime in.
Thanks again!
