Before I switched from Studio One 4.5 to Studio One 5, I noticed that sometimes Pro EQ didn't work. I never did get to the bottom of that, but I figured that I was going to upgrade soon to Studio One 5, so I wasn't going to worry about it. But now I find the same problem in Studio One 5, that sometimes Pro EQ doesn't work. The graphic curved don't display, and even worse, there's no EQ happening when I move each bandwidth dot.

Then, more recently, I've noticed that Mixtool is also sometimes not working. I put a Mixtool on a track to add some gain and there's no change. But if I save the song and reboot, then Mixtool might be working on that track, but then I go to put another Mixtool on another track and it's not working!

This is really frustrating! Is anyone else having issues like these and can anyone help me get it fixed?

P.S. One additional detail: With mixtool, if it's working and I adjust it to say +5dB, then later I will try to adjust it again, but now it's no longer working, and it's like it's stuck at +5dB no matter where I turn the gain knob. I can bypass the plugin, but I can't adjust it.
