Pasting effects no longer possible on 654

[laser558]

Hello, with this new update, 654, you can no longer paste effects.

For example, I will often delve into an old session that has separate eq, a compressor and a limiter, copy those and paste them into a track of a new session. This no longer works with this update so therefore, I will revert back to the previous version.

The issue is that there is nowhere to paste these effects. It will come up with the effects available panel but not the other panel where you can add and remove, or in my case, paste. I hope someone else can try this and confirm.

As a post production engineer, this is vital for me to have.

I think your post was responded to in a different thread, but for completeness, you can change this behavior in Preferences / Plug-ins by disabling the option "hide chain window until FX added".

from the changelog
when opening FX chain for a track that has no FX, by default show the Add-FX window rather than the empty FX chain window (option in Preferences/Plug-Ins)


You can also drag the FX button on TCP to copy the chain

Thank you to both of you for those quick responses. I do appreciate that.

Just an addendum to my original post. I appreciate you can make changes in preferences in order to paste FX onto a track, otherwise it will involve a double click but has anyone tried pasting say a chain of FX from a track into an individual item? The double click function does not work on this as far as I can see. So go to take, select "show FX chain for active take", then try to double click. You can't, so you have to make the change back to the original way of doing things in preferences. Any thoughts?
