Samplitude just stopped freezing volume automation and effects plugins

Hello,

I am using Samplitude Music Studio version 2021 on Windows and have also downloaded a trial of X8 Pro Suite. Usually when I freeze MIDI to Audio I do some additional EQ and volume automation on the audio track and then re-freeze.  When I do this any volume, panning, or EQ plugins get frozen and then I see the volume and panning dials revert to the center and my EQ plugin disappears from the track after freezing which tells me those effects have been frozen.  Within the last 24 hours, this has all stopped working.  I can still freeze midi to audio but I cannot freeze EQ plugins or volume panning.  I am working in Music Studio 2021 and then imported the project into my X8 trial and it is still doing this.  Any idea as to why this is happening?  Thank you very much.

@Marc-Caroul Does this also happen in a new project or only in this specific project?

New projects as well. in both 2021 and X8 versions. I even tried restoring system defaults with X8. No luck. Might it have to do with something regarding the monitoring mode?

@Marc-Caroul Maybe. If you select an ASIO driver and set the monitoring mode to Mixer FX Monitoring Hybrid Engine you'll get all features. Other drivers and modes are limited

Still didn't work with ASIO driver and set the monitoring mode to Mixer FX Monitoring Hybrid Engine

@Marc-Caroul Maybe it's a writing or reading permission issue? Are the files saved in the FreezeData folder?

Does it make a difference if you run Samplitude as Administrator via a right click on the program icon?

@Marc-Caroul @SP.

Could this problem also possibly be due to the fact that @Marc-Caroul is running the trial version of Pro X8? ALL Magix software trial versions are in some way limited in comparison with the full, purchased versions.

Thank you everyone for your help. I really appreciate it your efforts to assist. It turns out it was user error. My fingers thought they had "memorized the steps" for freezing a track but I advertently started using CRTL+ALT+F instead (which only freezes MIDI) instead of CRTL+SHIFT+F (which also freezes automation and effects). So it turns out it was user error. Magix support was very prompt.

Just when you think keystrokes become automatic after using the software for so long... :)
