musikman1 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Looking for the on/off VST scan switch.....There used to be a tick box to turn off auto VST scanning upon startup in the Plug-in Mgr, but I haven't found it in CWbBL. I did find VST settings in the Edit/Pref menu, with 3 options - Auto Background Scan, Scan on Startup, and Manual Scan. Mine is set for Auto Background Scan, and there's a box ticked underneath for "Scan in Sandbox" (whatever that means). Every time I start CW it scans for all VSTs. I'd like to be able to turn off the automatic startup scan, and only do a scan when I add a new VST. Is this the only, and correct place for changing this setting?....and is it the Manual Scan setting in the drop list that I need to change it to? This would seem to make the most sense, just wanted to check with you guys in case I'm missing something. Thanks, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plug-in manager supports a subset of the VST settings available in preferences and is intended to be used with older Cakewalk products that do not have VST settings in preferences.

musikman1 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 It's been awhile. I haven't thought of turning it off until recently as I noticed my plugs scan was taking longer. So I went to where I remembered the tick box used to be and didn't find it. Thanks, I appreciate the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
