I’m very familiar with this bug as I’ve been frustrated by it for many years.
- Of course I know about Group Channels: Mute sources as well.
The problem is when the group channel is un-muted from it’s muted state , the channels assigned to the group
don’t pass audio even though they are no longer muted and audio should be heard. This is a bug and Steinberg is well
aware of it they just never fix it or take it seriously. Instead we get suggestions such as yours.
- Mute events rather than write mute automation? Yes that’s a work around but not a solution to the problem.
Especially if your workflow involves mute automation which does not follow events. This requires muting new events
that replace the old ones. Not acceptable for a $1700 piece of software designed as an audio application.
