I'm evaluating Studio One as a former Sonar user looking for a new DAW. I have been recording a song with S1 along with the Arsenal VST instrument. I've been having trouble where I've got several Arsenal tracks running various presets (through AiR Hybrid). Everything will be working fine when I'm in S1, but as soon as I quit and restart S1, the song will crash when loading Arsenal.

I haven't seen this issue on Sonar when using Arsenal. I re-created my original track by re-adding my Arsenal instruments one-by-one and it seems to work, but then I'll add a sequenced-bass preset and I see the crashing again. I don't think this is tied to the particular preset because when I re-created my project I couldn't figure out exactly what preset I had been using, so I chose one that sounded close.

At this point I'm having a hard time trusting when I save a file that I'll be able to properly open it again. It's a shame because I've really been enjoying S1 otherwise!
