Where is: TH3 Cakewalk Edition amp simulator?

In the PDF document file is this:

I couldn't find it anywhere, I did find where it's settings are stored:

What am I missing?

I am presuming you mean the plug in is not available plugins/audiofx?

Have you checked your VST settings under preferences?

You need to add the correct file path under VST scan paths.

For me its

C\program files\common files\VST3\overloud

Hope this helps and apologies if this was not what you meant.

You nailed it.  Thanks.

The installation program should have put that path in the Plug-in Manager.

Now...I can plug in my ax and do some shredding!

By default C\program files\common files\VST3 is in the scan path. The scanner looks in the paths and every folder under the paths defined in scan path preferences for plug-in binaries.

My install was fresh and that path was not in the scan path....hence my post.  I had to add the path:

Strange, I searched my whole hard-drive for the plugin but Windows 10 search didn't find it. 

When I did a dir *.vst3 /s  from the root of C:\  (old school)  it was found.  I'll never trust windows search again.

A new install of CbB shows two paths in preferences

1. c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins
2. c:\program files\common files\vst3

A third path is silently added when scanning - c:\program files\cakewalk\shared plugins\internal

This path is shown in the Plug-in Manager as the image above shows.

If a "fresh" install is not the initial install on the PC, the existing CbB registry entries should be removed if one wants to make sure everything is set back to factory defaults.

 

There are some problems with the settings shown in the Plug-in Manager image above:

• Unnecessary paths - by default c:\program files\cakewalk\shared dxi and c:\program files\cakewalk\shared plugins only contain DX plug-ins and should not be in the VST scan path.
• Re-scan options are enabled - these options are normally disabled. Keeping these options enabled significantly slows down the scanner and causes plug-ins to be scanned unnecessarily.

 

FWIW, the makers of the this DAW have recommended scan configuration and operation should be performed from preferences NOT the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager.
