@Ross-AGoodman Did you scan the VST paths? Are you able to add VSTs to your tracks?

RE: How do I get my VSTs back?

On the VST tab I see it has a "lock" icon although it links to a file in the MM2016 VST folder EDIT: It seems I need to add the paths for each VST in the new MM, then it works... but not for all VSTs

RE: No sound

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I've tried setting the ASIO driver as you suggest, I've tried all the available options, (mine is Realtek but there's apparently no control panel for it), not a sausage, I can't play any of the samples or vst

RE: Sound Forge Audio Studio 17 doesn't detect Ozone 11 Standard (VST3)

@drmq @rraud So, I tried Sound Forge 15, 17 and 18. And Ozone 11 only works in SF18 (besides my trusty version SF12). SF15 only recognizes it as an ARA plugin and does nothing, SF17 also recognizes it as a VST3 plugin, but it doesn't open like the

RE: Independence

I have had the same issue. I can load VST2 Kontact instruments, but not VST3. I thought I had read that Independence does not support VST3 - is that true? I would be very happy to learn otherwise!!

RE: Custom preset transfer?

The old SCS Preset Manager 2.0 functions in Win 10 and I use it frequently for saving and transferring chains from one PC to another. The chains can contain both Direct X and VST plug-ins. Individual VST presets can be copy/pasted directly w/o PM.

RE: importing a stereo mp3 file into both tracks seprately

@browj2 Hi . . . . VSCL in 2014 and looking at the manual, it only has 2 search results for VST . . . . The version I have is the same, no option to add a VST path, and no Spectral Cleaner. I think we have the same version - it did not change much

RE: [Solved] Drops VST

The VST issue has been going since the last update. I'm hoping the next update might fix it... I have to restart the program to enable 3rd part vst effects, after a while they'll stop working again. Ruins any flow I have. I've had to cut back on

RE: Feedback on ACID Bugs

Stupid question 😬 I'm on Windows 10.Acid Pro works fine except for the latest VST3 plugins (such as Waves 15/16 or the latest Izotope plugins). Does Acid Pro Next run on Windows 11 without any major bugs compared to Windows 10?Considering that

RE: Wishlist for the next Music Maker!

1. The Drum Engine VST Instrument needs to be revamped. More variety of percussion sounds, rather than muliple pads with the same basic sounds just programmed differently. Also, allow panning of individual sounds within one pattern. As a comparison,

RE: Acid Pro 10 rendering audio crash problem

@j-s Are you using VST plugins? It may be possible to get Acid running more stable by using a VST chainer like Waves Studio Rack. This is a free plugin. You load it first and then load other plugins inside it. With this you can circumvent Acid's

RE: SF 11 refuses to start, even full re install

Hi @daniel-DIAZ2990, If you currently need Sound Forge to work, consider upgrading to SF-18 .The UI is basically the same as SF-11 and you will not have to learn new software and your SF-11 DX and VST plug-ins will work as well. You can also get the

RE: Feedback on ACID Bugs

@SandyRaw The latest version is Acid Pro 11. I believe 'Next' was version 9. I don't think that new plugins will run any better in 11. You can try to run a VST chainer like Plogue Bidule inside Acid and then load plugins inside Bidule. This might
