I feared twice already what the improved behaviour could mean... more places where the plugins are installed? On a serious side I can hardly see a benefit from updating for just improved installer behariour (have only Chroma.v2 and the sessions).

Agree, best way for a DAW is to get the least in the way when you're making music but then serving you a huuuge hand when editing especially when dealing with tedious tasks - the more tedious, the more we should lean on the DAW.

In your situation what I would do is select only the wheel events by using menu Edit>Select>By Filter or simply lasso selecting by hand in the PRV (wish there could be more editing tools re cc events in the prv) and drag them to another midi track that's being sent to the same instrument. Now I could re-record only the wheel using comping or punch-in methods. Typically, working on midi controllers is a bit more challenging. I too wish we could have more convenient ways when working with midi, especially the controllers, but then I realized that we're rather on the niche side compared to the whole user base with this, and have to arm ourselves in more hope and patience . I've heard often Logic being recommended as best DAW for orchestral work, this could well be the clue (plus the visual presentation of midi when zoomed out).

Presets are there, you have to pull them from VST3 drop down and navigate to the right folder on your disk, as scook says. Very inconvenient, we're basically left out without any preset manager for PA VST3 !

I almost read the video title: HOW TO FEAR COMPRESSION

Dang! Is that true? I was eyeballing at that controller recently... shame.

Beside the paths you mentioned, it's putting the whole collection in my 'C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\' and then it adds the exactly same collection (doubles) in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Applied Acoustics Systems\'. That way they are always scanned twice in one go, I have no idea how to stop it.

Do you know, by a chance, if the AAS plugins have any install paths written in the registry, and where? Maybe my issue with doubles in my Vstplugins folder comes from the installer writing the new path in the registry when I was changing it at some point, but not deleting the old one... it just occurred to me.

Thanks for the heads up @Matthew Sorrels! And good luck in solving your issues.

In terms of quality customer support I have to mention UJAM, excellent experience even if they didn't have a direct solution for my Cakewalk issue it's still very rewarding. And another vote against online-only authorization method here.

Brilliant! I just came back from hard work of cleaning my drives from AAS plugins spammed all over the place (and even twice in my main Vstplugins folder!) and need a shower now. If it's a some OSX maintenance update I simply don't wanna go back there to clean all that stuff again. Please keep us posted .

Well it's just too difficult for me to find the change log on their site, it seems 🤔

As we're on the freezing topic. I was always trying to avoid having to freeze. as often as possible, and the main reason for it always being that I feared of loosing the exact instruments/effects state after unfreezing. What are your insights about freezing, is the problem occurring often, or maybe, for some of you, never? How often you guys use that feature? I had some bad experience with Synthmaster not properly loading it's saved state where I had to re-load the project second time and everything was fine then. Hate to have my head always busy with checking if everything is playing correctly but that's how it is now in Cakewalk, always have been. I assume with freezing Synthmaster I'd experience similar issues now and then. Was wondering how are other plugins?

Missing those jrrshop codes...

I agree that slapping Tape Machine 24 on every track would be the best scenario but with it taxing CPU as much one would need to upgrade to the quantum-CPU to make it even start working. Maybe if IK allowed us putting an instance on each track but then mixing them all internally into a single instance in the background, that's a similar idea to what sknote's Strip is doing (plus it's adding some fancy crosstalk and whatnot), but in that form it's already not far from just using a bus.

I've got TapeEcho and the four Tape machines already so it looks like it's just one plugin for the price of one for me, hmm... 🤔

Just had to delete some of the NI/EastWest/Sampletank/etc. libraries from my tiny overcrowded drive to make room for this one!

now waiting for that BOOM...

can share my code if you want it

^^ yes, this!!

To follow up, I just had a Cakewalk crash when trying to load Waves EchoSphere. Upon the next Cakewalk launch vst scanner told me I have one (1) plugin less than I had before crash. The EchoSphere is still there and working fine. Go figure out. 🤔

@scook brilliant.. that was it! thanks

When I load Kontakt or Dexed, they load with Enable MIDI Output already activated. If I happen to forget to turn it off I may have issues with doubling the recorded MIDI data in tracks sometimes. Is there a way to globally disable all VI's MIDI Output on plugin load? Thx

lot's of mouse post work here

Hopefully this can make my miserable speakers sound like NS10s
