I also have brought this up at times. I use jamstix, and can not use it for anything but a "dumb" drum machine inside RB, PTPA, or BiaB. It dpes a great job there but not if I want it to create anything. My guess is that it is at the core of how PTPA times itself or it would be fixed already. The main focus has been for a while real tracks, and rightly so they are incredible, but there are many times that they do not fit the bill for some projects. So I hope that at some point they can conquer this issue.

If it were just jamstix and or EZ Drummer I would just not care and work around it with the things i have, but the problem is that it is other VSTIs as well. Even some that work are a little sshakey and not as smooth as in other DAW programs. Sampletank for one has some issue with the way RB sees it's controls. I have a half dozen others that act funny in RB, but work perfectly in my other DAW. 4front pianos doesn't have any volume control, and has to be bounced to audio to work properly, PSfretted does a similar thing, and so on.

Peter, and team, this is not a rant session to be irritating to y'all, just a conversation. I am a big PG fan, i just wish you could fix this for us, as we have certainly ask enough, or maybe just say we can't fix it and we need to deal with it. LOL
