Magic Russ 852 Posted June 21, 2022 Be careful. The installer was defaulted to uninstall RC-20 for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney Earl Goodroe 232 Posted June 21, 2022 My bad! Didn't scan after install of vst3! But, my scan is now broken. As soon as it hits Amplitube 5 the scan stops throwing a VST Write Scan error during a loop test!!! WTH!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney Earl Goodroe 232 Posted June 21, 2022 Well, seems I had 2 dlls for Amp5 in the vst folders. Deleted the old and back to normal! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSteven 3,126 Posted June 22, 2022 and it's a free update! Yes XLN Audio updates have been pretty much always been free but how many devs have come out with their VST3 versions, tossed in a handful of bug fixes for their VST2 line, then changed the version # and made it a paid for upgrade? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't this one of those that installed everything everywhere? the XLN installer installed the AAX versions, even if you didn't need them. Also, if you deleted the AAX version files manually, the XLN installer would then deem your XLN installation as needing a repair. The repair would reinstall the AAX versions. It looks like that will no longer happen if you deselect the AAX versions. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promidi 1,051 Posted June 22, 2022 A dark mode for the installer would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do not install AAX if you deselect it now! Congrats to XLN, finally! *and thus no "Repair Needed" prompt if AAX is missing! Here are a couple screen grabs of the new customize options for plugin formats and install paths. The VST3 path is fixed by specs, but the other paths are customizable.

locrian 1,060 Posted June 22, 2022 Unfortunately we can't choose where to install the VST3 plugins (on Windows). I always move them into a company-specific folder. Hopefully they'll make that user-selectable too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always specify VST2 paths now, but for awhile there, they were installing all over the place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they'll make that user-selectable too. I agree that it should be possible to choose at least the subfolder name in VST3! But in general I think that the concept of one central VST3 folder is not really a clever idea! For example all those plugins that are bound to one single DAW (like TH3 to CbB), I don't want that the other DAWs include/parse those plugins, because they don't run there anyway! Or I don't want that the audio editors have to parse instrument plugins, it is meaningless! So I really wonder what the Steinberg guys have reflected (nothing)?
