Having trouble using different Analog Lab instruments on different tracks

[GregIm]

Hello, very new here and with Analog Lab V. I’m running into an issue with trying to use different Analog Lab instruments on different tracks in my DAW. For example, I’ll record one track using instrument X. It’ll all be set and go through fine. Then I’ll create a new track to use instrument Y, also in Analog Lab. Upon selecting the new instrument the track I just recorded is now playing Instrument Y as well instead of its original instrument X. Not quite sure what I’m doing wrong. I tri d selecting different output channels for the different instruments but that didn’t seem to work. Any help would be appreciated!

Each new track needs a new instance of Analog Lab. Otherwise you're just changing the patch on the same instrument.
If you want a more specific answer, tell us what DAW you're using.

Hi, makes sense. I'm using Presonus's Studio One 5.

I think I got it figured out. I dragged and dropped a new instance into a MIDI track rather than just selecting Analog Lab from the pulldown on a new track. I can see now how the latter isn't a new instance of the plugin.

Glad you sorted it.
