  4. DP Opening New Instances Instead of Connecting to Existing

  • DP Opening New Instances Instead of Connecting to Existing

    Title sums it up. I open my template in VEPro 4, fire up DP...and what *should* happen is that DP connects to all my instances that are loaded. Instead, it keep creating all new ones, ignoring the ones that already exist. I've tried preserving the new ones, deleting the old ones, etc...but every time I load the project in DP, it just keep creating new instances. This only started happening with Mountain Lion, and yes, my software is up to date. Anyone?

    Hi AaronG, 

    VE PRO connects to instances by identifying 2 factors: 

    1) IP address

    2) instance name

    If they do not match, a new instance will be opened instead. To be safe.

    Ok...so why would it suddenly start behaving differently when I didn't change anything? Also, IP address? I'm on one machine. I see on the "server interface" there's a thing that says "Slave: 127.0.0.1" but I have no idea what that's referring to since I have no idea what that IP is or where it came from. What am I missing with that? Also, "instance name" is defined in VEPRo itself. I don't understand how the plug-in has any kind of access to the instance name. If it does, where can I edit it? For example, in my metaframe, I have an instance called "VE-WW." In DP, I have a VI with a VEPro plug-in. Forever and always, it has automagically connected my "VE Woodwinds" Aux track to the "VE-WW" instance in VEPro because that's what I connected it to when I first started the project. But now, it just creates a new (unnamed) instance out of nowhere.

    Oh, yeah. And I still want to know why it's opening all the instances every time instead of opening them minimized as I have it set in Preferences...

    Hello AaronG,

     

    Please note, that the VE PRO Server Preference "Open instances minimized on load" only applies when loading a Metaframe, but not when you open a project through your DAW.

    Would you mind sending us your Metaframe and a zipped copy of your DP project to  so we can better look into your other issue?

     

    Best, Marnix
