I’m trying to use Slate Digital’s Virtual Mix Rack (VMR) on a drum bus (“group track”), but it doesn’t work. There’s no input activity on VMR’s meters. Adjusting the VMR settings has no effect on audio.
However, when I drag the VMR plugin to an audio track, everything works as expected. Drag it back to the drum bus (or any group track or output) and it goes silent again.
For the record, I was using my “surround” template which has 5.1 channels on all of my busses. Must remember to load three instances of VMR - or any stereo plugin, for that matter - to affect all six channels. I was banging on a kick (center channel) and wondering why VMR (L/R channels) wasn’t responding.
