Note that many VST2 installers, including Cakewalk if I recall correctly, will defer to the "VSTPluginsPath" stored in the Registry the 1st time they install a new plugin. By changing this path you will affect where many new plugin installers will choose by default to install their plugins. The following registry-key is set (win-x32): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VST\VSTPluginsPath The following registry-keys are set (win-x64): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VST\VSTPluginsPath HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VST\VSTPluginsPath From what I recall this isn't a hard standard (which is why everyone isn't following it), it's just kind of become a common practice.

There is no hard standard for where VST2 plugins should be stored on your computer. The more popular or common places listed by Steinberg are: C:\Program Files\VSTPlugIns C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugIns C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VstPlugins C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\VST2 C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST2 C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steinberg\VST

When you have MAC programmers who won't take the time to learn how to really support the PC platform you get this kind of nonsense. Have seen this countless times. PC heathens don't merit the same attention to detail.

Only on April 1st.

As others have said by switching to manual scan you avoid that. 2 of things I frequently use in MenuMagic* are 1) Scanning my VSTs on demand without having to run Cakewalk (using MenuMagic's icon tray app shown here) I run the scanner this way everytime I add, remove or relocate a plugin. I have Cakewalk set for manual VST scanning for a quick(er) load. 2) Using the Plugin Info Grid to check before downloading or paying for a plugin to verify that I don't already own it. * Forgive the plug for my retail app but it seemed appropriate in the context of this discussion.

Great program. Thanks Larry for update notice. Download link: https://youlean.co/download-youlean-loudness-meter 2.4.1 was a HUGE update, if you missed it here are the details...

Actually cheaper for me to upgrade for WUP Mercury + Studio Classics ($108 at present discount) than just upgrade on Mercury.

Broken link in OP https://pfundstein-audio-plugins.de/?product=virtual-instruments

That's not too expensive. My wife cost me more.

We Apologize, this product is no longer available Sold out

Btw my order got cancelled

So no code no license upgrade?

Looks like OhmForce may also be finally getting round to updating & reskinning their plugins! https://www.ohmforce.com/

?? I think you're confusing $149 deals...

Had to break up the install because it was just taking too long - so I tried installing Mercury v9 1st then everything else. Mercury installed OK but when installing v11 remnants plus v12 updates - my system blue screened with a corrupted heap error. On rebooting this popped up: and when I tried installing the 2nd half again: had to locate SoundGrid and shut it down before the installer would continue. It's still installing... waiting to see more reasons why I should have waited.

So wait till next week?

??? KA-CHING!!! Though on second thought I might save/earn more switching to decaf. Still a great plugin even if I paid more.

at B&H $22 dollars cheaper than UK price $38 cheaper than US price https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1378551-REG/crucial_ct2000mx500ssd1_mx500_2tb_2_5_ssd.html $183.99 Offer ends Oct 14 at 11:59 PM EDT

I bought True Iron for $20 on Sep 6, 2020... ? That I could have waited 5 weeks and saved a penny is really binding my shorts ? I'm so distraught I'm going to click on Submit Reply, crawl under my desk and just soak the floor with my tears of frustration and disappointment while I rage at what use I might have made from my savings if I had known. ?

B&H every now & then will have some audio software or thing-a-ma-jig at an absolutely killer price. Worth keeping an eye on their sales even if most of it ain't audio.

Between 2.5" Stiffies and DVDs.... Or if you're video obsessed between VHS & DVD

Maybe not substantive but they've constantly been tweaken'; they just don't make a fuss about it. This is like the 2nd AD2 update within the last month or 2. Can't think of the last time I really had an issue with AD2. As much as I like new & shiny I'll always go for reliable & stable in a crunch.
