‘D’Animation’ asked on the Digidesign User Conference if anyone else was having problems with automating SpeakerPhone, he wrote…
Just a quick check to see if anyone else is having issues with Speakerphone 2 losing its automation presets/snapshots? I have about 6 different effects loaded into the first 6 preset slots so I just automate the preset index to switch between fx but every so often it loses all the preset settings within the plugin (the actual ‘automation preset index’ automation lane in protools keeps its data within the track though) and resets to the default ‘bakelite phone’ setting on all presets? Plugin is on a aux on its own being fed via prefader sends from VO tracks

Oh yeah. Got bit by that when I did some nice automation for some source music moving within a scene. Opened the file the next day to review with client and it was all ferkakta. All subsequent scenes were all a shambles as well. Ended up taking the time in the review session to reset and print the filters. Now, I always do it.
‘PT Lover’ chipped in with…
I don’t use Speakerphone myself, but have you guys read this?
‘D’Animation’ came back to say…
Have to say I generally don’t have everything write enabled and none of the presets use the sample bay so not sure if its just something funny going on – it is random and infrequent is the only blessing.
I wish printing was an option (at the moment) but still lots of ADR and PU’s coming in so I’d only end up redoing work. Its so obvious but I will admit to not thinking of it – Once everything is in printing is the safest bet alright !
‘PT Lover’ later asked…
Did you get this sorted out? Have you discussed it with Audioease? I’m considering this plug-in but I’m tired of workarounds.
‘D’Animation’ replied saying…
No solid answer yet as its totally random and not repeatable to test but it is a great plug for 95% of the time. The current series I’m working on has lots of radio/speaker situations for vo and at times its replaced up to 4 plugins in a chain to do the same fx, kinda wish it was TDM though as, the way i use it, it lives on an aux! Luckily I’ve never lost any settings as i’ve managed to import the correct plugin data from a back-up session
‘PT Lover’ replied…
Ok. Thanks. It sure does look and sound like a sweet plug-in.
‘Pirate Post’ added to confirm…
Love the Plug-in but the automation just doesn’t work. I always print it.
‘PT Lover’ asked…
Are you using 2.0.3?
‘Pirate Post’ replied…
Just checked, I’m on 2.0.2. I’ll load up 2.0.3 and report my findings.
PT Lover replied…
Thank you.
Pirate Post then confirmed….
That would be a big NO on the automation working correctly in version 2.0.3
PT Lover acknowledged…
I see. Thanks for checking.
So it seems as if Audio Ease have a little work to do on this one. As of today it still isn’t fixed.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
