      Miraculously, I managed to compile one of my plugins in AAX without shedding a tear, although with a couple of hiccups.

      My plugin loads as it should with the correct slider values in Cubase and FL Studio but not in Pro Tools.

      Pro Tools (Developer edition) loads all of the individual channel sliders at the same value (0.80) while it loads the sub-group sliders at 0.00. The result is no sound output since individual channels are routed through the sub-groups. Also, the overall plugin is out of balance since my carefully-adjusted sliders are not recalled.

      Is anyone else experiencing this?

        I have issues with Buttons defaulting to off in AAX. Might be related.

          @Dan-Korneff Quite possibly. I am going to include default preset with all my plugins, so that users can recall the proper settings, but it sucks if it can't work right out of the box the way it should. Even if I post it everywhere that they need to recall the default preset, chances are more likely than not that most people will overlook it and come crying that the plugin is broken and they want their money back.

          @Christoph-Hart Any idea why default settings would not be read properly by Pro Tools?

            @gorangrooves Yes the buttons are always zero in AAX no matter if you set them to 1 by default. But there was no issues with the sliders before.

                They will be fine if you’ll dsiable „is plugin parameter” on them - it’s a walkaround I’m using, but of course it’s less than optimal.

                  @tomekslesicki If you disable that, you won't be able to automate those parameters, so it is not really a good workaround.

                        it's pretty annoying but what I do to work around this is: in a timer: if value of slider that never makes sense to be on 0 on initialization (like gain) load init preset.

                          I think its HISE in PT...

                              @gorangrooves Are you using AAX SDK version 2.4.0?
                              If not, can you try with it?

                                @orange I am using 2.4.1. That's the latest one if I am correct.

                                  @gorangrooves Yes, but that retrospective SDK test can help to solve the cause of the issue. You can download the SDK v2.4.0, compile the static libraries and give it a go.

                                    @orange i will try. You are not having the issue with that SDK?

                                      @gorangrooves I built on June and it was working. If you'd like, you can download Need 73 or 81 or 84 from here and try on your system.

                                        @orange I compiled a plugin using AAX SDK 2.4.0, and the issue still remains. 😞

                                          There's also an issue with linking controls in multi-mono mode. I haven't built an AAX binary with a recent version of HISE yet so I'll try to do that over the weekend and see what happens.

                                            Also, regarding AAX export: HISE autogenerated compiler specifies "Use static runtime" for Runtime Library, while the AAX SDK requires DLL. I had to change that to make the compilation successful.
