Skelm 1 Posted January 18 Hi, Does Cakewalk store the active list of plugins in the registry or a text file, or anywhere else accessible? I installed a new plugin (Roli Studio Player) and after scanning, Cakewalk had found 2 new plugins but also removed 23 other plugins. It doesn't appear to have removed any of my main plugins, but I don't want to be surprised in a session when I open a track and some plugins are not available, so I would like to check what was deleted and re-install if necessary. I could restore from backup but that is quite time consuming, so hopefully there is some other way I can access this list to make sure nothing critical was removed. I will leave logging on in future just in case this happens again, but it unfortunately was switched off when this happened. Thanks for any assistance.

treesha 72 Posted January 18 Plug in manager utility lists what chosen as included or excluded by you so all plugins should be in one or the other category in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 2,624 Posted January 18 The DX plug-ins are registered at install time. VST2/VST3 are registered by the scanner. The data is stored in the registry. The VST2/3 data is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory I wrote a tool to view and export the VST2/3 data called VST Inventory Tool. The export is an html table viewable in any browser or spreadsheet tool. It is available on my google page. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Perry 378 Posted January 18 Remember also that plugins can be excluded, which this doesn't take into account: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\ExcludedPlugIns CLSIDs are used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skelm 1 Posted January 19 Thanks for the responses - I will compare the registry key from my backup to the current one and hopefully determine which plugins were removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
