yeah just found that too once I remembered to use the find command! Just Home Studio - I think I tried a reinstall of Z3ta but might be worth trying again. Not the end of the world if I can't get it working Thanks for the help though - much appreciated again!

Ah found this in the sandbox log file for the effect - presumably I'll find the same for the instrument LogFile: C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Logs\VstScanSandbox.log Saturday, 01 Aug 2020, 16:29:12 Opened Log File ----------------------------- Command line: /VSTRegPerUser/VSTRegKey:"Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64"/Background/NoRescanning/SONARHWND:264430/ScanVst:"f:\vstplugins\z3ta+\z3ta+_fx2.dll"/ToastGuid:{CC4602E0-171B-477A-BE90-C6C2E73C2339} Flag: VSTRegPerUser Flag: VSTRegKey:"Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64" Flag: Background Flag: NoRescanning Flag: SONARHWND:264430 Flag: ScanVst:"f:\vstplugins\z3ta+\z3ta+_fx2.dll" VST to scan - f:\vstplugins\z3ta+\z3ta+_fx2.dll Flag: ToastGuid:{CC4602E0-171B-477A-BE90-C6C2E73C2339} VSTSCAN: ******* Analyzing VST plugins...

VstScanSandbox.log There is also this log - I am not sure which is the relevant one!

VstScan.log Here's the scan log No it is not showing up in effects either

Ok I have run the reset - Z3ta+ still doesn't appear in the instrument list under either synths or uncategorised instruments - I see it is mentioned several times in the scan log but not sure what I should be looking for?

Thanks

Should I leave Scan in Sandbox ticked?

Thanks - will try that

I renamed all the DLL files z3taplus and Cakewalk scanned them but did not add any new plug ins and they still don't appear sadly. Thanks for the suggestion though! Fortunately I don't use it in any existing projects but would like to have a listen to it again as I recall it was pretty good

Ah thanks I'll try that!

Yeah looks much better than the original!

Larry just wants us to know he's still the king! ?

Looks pretty good for free - particularly for beginners

Well worth checking out Amplesound Luthier - beautiful sound and it has hammer ons and pull offs - I have only had it a short while so haven't tried them yet but the demo files will give you an idea

All hail the king! Welcome back Larry. Hope your family crisis is sorted

scook thanks - I think your second para addresses an issue I have with one of my projects when the wrong synth plays - I will check!

Me too!

Just to add this is the original version of z3ta - the dll files seem suspiciously small

Hi all I have z3ta in my VST folder but CbB isn't picking it up - I've checked excluded plugin but it isn't there either. Any ideas? I've certainly used it before - possibly in Sonar Home Studio - can't remember if I have used it in CbB but I think I have Appreciate any advice

This sounds very nice - wish I could justify the cost! https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/spitfire-symphonic-motions/

Absolutely - come back here and there will be lots of people only too glad to be of help! We've all been there - though usually calmed down before posting ?

Calm down dear - it's only a DAW

Aidan mentioned that earlier but no harm in raising again - Loopcloud is excellent

Don't tell me - full Kontakt only? ?

I think we might need to think about taking disciplinary action ?
