Lado 1 Posted August 7, 2019 Sonar (BandLab) won't show whether a UAD plug in is mono or stereo. It only shows the same duplicate names for each plug in. I have to drill down in the VST2 presents/Details to find this info. In Pro Tools (for PC) these plug ins are identified as Stereo or Mono within the insert names. It would be nice if Sonar could incorporate this feature SOON PLEASE!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 4,774 Posted August 7, 2019 The default plug-in names are based on the VSTPlugInNameFormat setting. Read about the variable and its options here. Set the variable here. Note: initially this screen is empty. Add a variable and its value to initialize the file. Custom plug-in names may be set in the plug-in browser. The documentation is in the middle of this page. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmyers 8 Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks for covering this. My VST list used to show (m) for mono UAD plugins, but quit doing so at some time in the past. Adding the variable "VSTPlugInNameFormat" and entering "1" now makes the list look like it used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 4,774 Posted August 8, 2019 The variable and default plug-in name change happened with SONAR X2a. Glad you found the info useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lado 1 Posted August 8, 2019 scook, Thanks for the quick response. Changing the .ini file worked, but the directions to right click the plug in name in the browser doesn't work in CbBL. In fact nothing happens when I right click a name. Lado Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 4,774 Posted August 8, 2019 Works here. Make sure the plug-in layout is set to "Sort by Category" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich O'Reilly 0 Posted October 21, 2019 I have tried this “Set the variable here. Note: initially this screen is empty. Add a variable and its value to initialize the file.” I set value to 1. I also tried “Adding the variable "VSTPlugInNameFormat" and entering "1" “ The screen stays blank after adding a variable of 1 and I hit set. Am I missing missing something? The “Initialize File” font In preferences is blues as opposed to black. Not sure if that means anything. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich O'Reilly 0 Posted October 21, 2019 UPDATE: I entered the values and hit "set" Palette goes blank again. I hit "Apply" anyways and closed/reopened the program. It did take showing (M) on the mono plugs. I guess it stays blank after you hit "set" but, it does work.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
