Yes but only if i go into preferences and remove VST3 from the scan. When I rescan then Amplitube shows up and can be used. But if I close Cakewalk or another scan occurs then VST3 appears in the scan preferences again.

DAWs are generally hard coded to scan that path by default, as it is a standard for VST3 now. Strangely enough Melodyne is in VST3 too.

brandon Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I have submitted a help request to Amplitube. I may raise this in the Q&A forum on here too.
abacab Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 In case I wasn't clear, VST3 plug-ins belong in the VST3 folder. The VST3 folder does NOT belong in the VST scan paths. IKM Amplitube 5 is both VST2 and VST3. You can use either one that you prefer. The installer should provided both versions. The VST2 would have been placed in the location that you specified when prompted during the install. Melodyne 5 is a VST3 only (VST2 discontinued).

I wonder why Cakewalk insists vst3 folder is in scan paths if theres nothing in there to scan.
abacab Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Your VST3 folder is located at "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" correct? That is the official location that all DAWs know about, and auto scan by default. Any VST3 files there should be added to the Cakewalk plug-in browser, unless excluded. Your VST2 folder(s) can be anywhere, as long as you tell the DAW to scan them by adding the paths.

brandon Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 SOLVED. I deleted the VST3 file from the VST 3 folder and now it loads the VST 2 plug in.
Kash Srirangan Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Fix for ABPL 2 not loading instrument can be found here. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=245&t=434483&p=8013310#p8013310 It worked for me. 1
