Well, I'm finally starting to use RB. I have the latest version that came with BiaB 2017. Received wisdom is that, once you've gotten a tune worked up to a sufficient point in BiaB then it's time to bring it in to RB and do the fine tuning/tweaking to the mix there. So, right off, I see that none of my VXTs and DXs have gotten carried along in the switchover. Or at least so far. I've only tried a few tunes yet, so it's still early.

But anyway, I have sorta-kinda figured out how to set up a VST in RB, but what happens is every MIDI device gets the changes, not just the one I want it for. For example, say I'd like to add the DX for reverb to my melody track. So I click on the little "fx" button on the track panel and up pops the DirectX/VST window. I've selected Coyote because I'm just using one of the MIDI voices for now, and then in one of the lower slots I select Reverb. Suddenly everything is Reverby. And I check the fx's on all the other MIDI tracks and they also all have Reverb set up on them. And it is set up identically to the track I originally set it up for. It gets worse if I want to select a VXT. Suddenly every MIDI instrument has this same VST selected.

I don't want this. And even if I did, I'd want to be able to control them independently from each other.

Why is it that something that appears to be so logical and straightforward is anything but? BiaB's been putting me through the ringer and now it's RB's turn. This is getting really old really fast.

Oh, and before composing this note, I looked through all the available help videos here at PG Music on RB, hoping to find at least one that deals with setting up DXs and VXTs. Couldn't find any.
