Pro L 2: -30 dB output / Not saving settings
Hi FF,
I've been having some issues specifically with the Pro L 2 always being at -30dB output when I load up a new instance, and it seems to be resetting the limiter to a 'default' state with that -30dB output, and the dials all turned to the far left every time I load up a saved project. As if it is not saving the work I've done when using the Pro L 2.
The other FF's seem to be fine, Q & C at least. Haven't tried out the MB in this particular project.
I'm currently running this through Ableton Live 11.1 and am using a M1 Mac Mini.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Can it be that the project is emitting a MIDI program change, or a set of MIDI controller messages that trigger this change?
Cheers,
I don't believe so, as I am using it to master an audio file, so there is no MIDI nor MIDI devices in the project. I will double check all of that and get back to you.
Hey, I did some tests, and it appears that it is the VST version of the Pro L 2 that was doing it. When using the AU or VST3 versions, It doesn't happen. So just a heads up for others.
Frederik, you can test L2 on M1 processor with Ableton?
There was a bug in Ableton 11.1 with recalling the settings of some VST2 plug-ins. Ableton has found a fix and released a beta. Please find the installer below and let us know if this resolves the issue:
