What happens if you disable scan on start up? (Thinks to self: why does anyone have that enabled anyway?) Are all the plug-ins you would expect to see in the vst3 menu and available to your project? 'Habit' I suppose mate. Plus, as I'm supposedly doing a completely fresh clean install, it bugs me why anything is in the wrong place/not working etc ? Is WaveShell-VST3 9.7_x64.vst3 just an older version of WaveShell-VST3 9.91_x64.vst3 so it's looking for something that is superceded by the other? No idea ? I've asked Waves tech support the same question! What happens if you move the 9.7 folder to another location (ie out of the scan path) ? I just tried that - after temporarily moving the vst3 out of the VST3 folder, the scan says 8 plug-ins removed; 2 new (although the scan doesn't hang anymore). I closed everything and placed it back in the 'correct' place, the scan hangs again and I still had net 6 plug-ins missing. I had to run the 'repair' option in Waves Central to get them to show up again. Having done so, I'm back where I was before ? Where the fook is scook when you actually need him? Probably in the appropriate forum for this post ? That's a nice folder directory you have there. No hint at all of any folders that might cause a worldwide scandal. Correct mate, I have nothing on my computer to be ashamed about. But then again, I don't have the power and the propensity to sit in judgement on other forum members ?

Further to re-installation advice given so kindly in my other fred, I've so nearly got SPlat back how I like it. CbB has been uninstalled and I'll reinstall as per said advice once SPlat is 'perfect'. However, each time I start SPlat, the VST scan starts running but always hangs on WaveShell-VST3 9.7_x64.vst3. When it stops, it opens an Explorer window [Documents] whose header is Select Waves 9.7 SG Studio Modules folder: I select the folder so named and click on Select but nothing happens (the VST scan remains stopped). Once I click Cancel, the VST scan then starts running again and SPlat opens. I've searched my PC from top to bottom trying to find the 'correct' folder to select (both via a straightforward 'search' and also using the Explorer window above) but to no avail. I thought I'd located the 'correct' VST version of this WaveShell in the C > Program Files > Common Files > VST3 folder but the VST scan doesn't 'find' it here when scanned: I emailed Waves technical support on Wednesday and still haven't had a reply from them. I'd appreciate any help if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong ? Edit to add: Forgot to mention I also used the Repair feature in Waves Central to reinstall all my Waves plug-ins but this didn't help either ?

One of me Top 20 albums ever that is ☺️

Marvellous ...

Jeez this is sooooooo feckin' stressful ? If only I could get 'Waves Central' to play nice.

??

Thanks Steve/Ed. I'll uninstall CbB and only reinstall once SPlat is back up to date.

You're probably right there Robert. I think I'm only really going to need my PSP, Waves, Nomad and Voxengo stuff.

LOL ? The trouble is I have loads of projects in various degrees of completion I've dragged over from my old Win7 PC and although it's not a complete deal breaker, it would be preferable if all (or at least most) of the plug-ins in those mixes were installed. Mind you, when I moved from Vista to Win 7, I just opened my templates and the projects I was working on and simply reinstalled any plug-ins SONAR said was missing. For brand new stuff it's not too bad, as long as I've got Superior Drummer and a tuner locked to A minor I'm good to go ?

Because of the time delay since I last had a fully up and running SONAR, I've never really used Cakewalk By BandLab. I have it installed and fully up to date, so long term I'm guessing it might pay me to abandon SONAR once and for all? I'll have to do some research and compared SONAR v CbB to see what's missing/added. I remember reading somewhere there's no Pro-Channel in CbB - is that right? Anything else I should be aware of?

I'm definitely doing that this time (have Macrium ready to go once all this is done).

It's happening. Finally. Backstory: A couple of years back, I had to reinstall Windows 10 on my PC Being a bit of an apathetic Straummy, and although I had reinstalled the last release version of SONAR, I've never bothered to set it back up just the way I like it Having got my S/PDIF interface issues ironed out (nod to Paulo), I'm embarking on the unenviable task of getting SONAR back up and running. The biggest pain is having to reinstall/authorise etc all my plug-ins and VSTis: See you all in 2021 ?

How puerile. I approve ?

An excellent, well received "touché" on your part good sir ?

"Did you hear that strange whooshing noise?" "Yes, I believe it was Notes' credibility flying away" Only kidding you NN ?
