`effects.xml` should always store FX parameters until I change them inside the GUI. That unfortunately never worked for me. Was long time on KDE neon, then interim on Manjaro and now running EndeavourOS. Always the same issue, FX are reset to default parameter settings randomly, e.g. when closing Mixxx and start it up again. If several items are changed in the preferences window then this bug can be reproduced. I tried with changing sound output, change Live stream from one to another and even changing the default color for the Hot Cue resets FX parameters when pressing `OK` in the preferences window. It does not reset when pressing `Apply` though.
Depending on the FX used this can lead to disturbed or no sound during a Mixxx session (e.g. the moog filter defaults to LPF=0 that results in no sound at all)
Solution:
- Keep FX parameters unaffected by other changes in Mixxx
- set all parameters to default values that DO NOT change / transform sound
I tried with 2.3.0-beta (build makepkg r8110) & latest Beta (downloaded Apr, 7th).
Bug #1795661 was similar but closed without solution
PR #2618 seems to resolve the issue but is targeted towards Mixxx 2.4. When trying the PR #2618 I only checked for updates inside the Preferences window but not long term about FX parameters reset over sessions periodically.
This should be treated as critical bug because it can harm a live session if one must change a setting in preferences while playing. |

Edit: The log file doesn't show anything about this behavior. |
