Plugin Audio Routing Ignores Track Mute "OFF" State - Mute Mode must be Set to "Mute (Silence Audio Signals)" instead

Help, Support & Bugs

Hi,

I’ve encountered what seems to be a bug related to VST audio routing in Renoise.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Load a VST plugin into Slot 1.
  2. Go to Plugin → Audio Routing and check “Bus #01 - Stereo Out”.
  3. Assign the plugin to Track 1.

Issue:
When I set Track 1 to OFF, the audio from the VST continues to play as if the OFF state has no effect.

This only happens when Options → Mute Mode is set to “OFF (don’t trigger notes/effects)”.

However, if I change Mute Mode to “Mute (silence audio signals)”, the signal is cut as expected when the track is turned OFF.

Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

That’s expected. Off mode only stops triggering notes and FX. Mute silences the audio stream.

Both modes have their cons and pros: The off mode is a more tracker`ish approach. The mute mode the classic mixer way of muting.
