  RE: Butch Vig Vocal Plug-in can't be loaded into plug-in chain
  Yesterday I was on the Waves (maker of the Butch Vig Vocals plug-in) website and I found that only an earlier version of that plug-in would work with Acid. I’ve used the Sony, now Magix, music software, ACID, Vegas and Sound Pro for ages. After I

  @stuart-cassie Looks like it crashes during the VST scan (sfvstwrap.dll). There was a similar discussion a few weeks ago for Acid Pro 11, which we could solve. Maybe it works as well for Acid Music Studio 11. You need to install the free demo
