Hey, Shan has a great work around for this somewhere recently.Basically Its 1. Duplicate the track. 2. Make the original tracks sends inactive. 3. Make the duplicate tracks inserts inactive. 4. Make output of original track bus 1 5. Make input of duplicate track bus 1. 6. Rec arm duplicate track. 7. Record the track. 8. Voila new track with all plugin data written to disk but all you pans and sends are there too!! 9. Write a thank yo to Shan. If i missed a point please someone point it out. Cheers
